Domus Sessoriana

The hotel has a large terrace that offers a panoramic view of Rome. The museum is accessible to the hotel guests. This is a unique property in a historical location which offers a special atmosphere. The easy way to get there is to get the metro from Termini station (LINE A) and walk about 5-10 minutes from there. The No. 649 bus from Termini station to Piazza Santa Croce also services the area.
Exterior: This monastery has now been adapted as a 3-storey hotel building. The hotel is set inside the Santa Croce in Gerusalemme Basilica. The hotel is built on the top of the house of Wueen Elena. The entrance is at the side of the Basilica entrance.
Lobby: The lobby is medium in size and reproduces the original features of the monastery/museum, with its high walls and massive paintings. The seating area recalls the simple life of the monks, where the dominant material was iron. Flowers and plants help to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Rooms are quite large and luminous, with tall ceilings and floors made of terracotta tiles. The style is simple, and most of the furnishings are made of iron, but the colours and the texture of the fabric, together with hand-crafted objects coming from the treasure of the monastery, make the bedrooms look attractive and comfortable. Rooms offer all the modern comforts. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are in excellent condition.

There is a large restaurant available for groups only.
