Ares Rooms is located at about 100 m from the Patriarchal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and about 250 m from Rome's main TERMINI RAIL STATION (a major transport hub for mainline/local rail services, rail service to/from "Leonardo da Vinci" International Airport at Fiumicino, metro (underground railway) lines A ad B, with a post office and brand-new shopping mall).
Ares Rooms is on the border between the historical Roman districts of Esquilino and Monti, at a stone's throw from the ancient Basilica of Santa Prassede (with its beautiful medieval mosaics) and the Palazzo Brancaccio (which houses a theatre with the same name and the Oriental Art Museum).
This area of Rome is very vibrant, with many art and handicraft studios and shops, lively restaurants, pubs and wine bars to suit all ages and tastes and attracting a curious, discerning and cosmopolitan crowd. A short walk away are other major attractions, such as the Lateran Complex (Basilica and Cathedral of San Giovanni Laterano, with its Battistero and the Scala Santa or Holy Steps), the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli (which houses the renowned sculpture of Moses by Michelangelo), Emperor Nero's Domus Aurea and the Colosseum, the Roman and Imperial Forums, Piazza Venezia square and many other fascinating and extraordinary historic, artistic and religious monuments and sites.
