Eur &
Rome
The Eur district of Rome is the financial and business centre of
the Italian capital and the southern part of the country, and was
built almost entirely in the first part of the last century under
the watchful eye of Benito Mussolini and his administration. Construction
would, had the second world war not interrupted, have continued
from the city all the way to the coast, embodying the ill-fated
dictator’s dream of creating a European metropolis
and economic fortress. The distinctive architecture is highly representative
of the era, the gleaming white facades interlined with grassy knolls
and trees and even a man-made lake in the centre of a tranquil park
– visible from all around - betraying an almost fantastical
vision of ancient Imperial Rome in the 20th century.
The area is served by the city’s underground system, the
nearest stop to the Hotel Eur Suite being a short bus ride or 2km
stroll away (Eur Fermi). From here, visitors can be in
the heart of the city within 20 minutes –
taking in the awesome Colosseum, St Peter’s Basilica and the
Vatican, or the stunning renaissance beauty of the Trevi Fountain
or the Spanish Steps.

Accessibility
The Eur Suite Hotel Rome is ideally located for clients arriving
at Leonardo da Vinci (Fiumicino FCO) Airport, thanks to our proximity
to the city Ring Road (the Gran Raccordo Anulare, or GRA). We’ll
be happy to pick you up from the airport at a competitive fee. However,
if you have your own driver, or are arriving by road from another
part of Italy, simply exit the GRA at Laurentina.
Turn left at Via Celine after a few minutes, then
take a right at the roundabout. Follow Via Francesco Sapori
around to the left until it becomes Via Ignazio Silone.
Via dei Prezzolini (‘the street of small
parsley’) is just off Via Silone and you can’t
miss our hotel.
Public Transport
On arrival in Rome city centre, take the metro to Eur Fermi
on Line B, then bus 776 until you see the hotel. |
