Rome served as the capital city to one of Europe's oldest and largest civilizations, the Roman Empire which at its peak in 117 A.D., stretched from the Atlantic coast of Europe to the Levant (Syria) and across North Africa. Rome in the 21st-century is nothing but quaint with its narrow, cobblestone streets and the city hosts a number of quaint hotels as well.
The Royal Court is a small 4-star hotel located on a narrow street in the center of Rome just minutes from the Coliseum and the Roman Forum on foot. In the center of the hotel is a small communal courtyard with concrete tile floors, plants and several sets of tables and chairs. The hotel only has 24 rooms and suites with either queen- or king-size beds, marble bathrooms with walk-in showers and hardwood floors. Guests with laptop computers may use the hotel's wireless Internet services for a fee of $13.50 per day. As of September, 2010, guided tours are available around Rome, as well as to Sorrento, Pompeii, Capri, Naples and the Amalfi Coast.
