An Imperial Urban Oasis

Where Ancient Roman Provenance Meets Contemporary Resort Living

Commanding a tranquil hillside setting on the historic slopes of the Gianicolo along the banks of the Tiber, Villa Agrippina, a Gran Melià Hotel is a luxury urban resort with roots reaching back over two millennia. Built upon the excavated foundations of the 1st-century villa of Empress Agrippina—mother of Emperor Nero—the hotel seamlessly merges imperial antiquities with sleek contemporary Mediterranean design.

Surrounded by private botanical parkland just eight minutes on foot from St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican walls, the hotel offers 110 individually styled rooms and suites decorated with classical Roman artwork, Italian marble bathrooms, and Clarins amenities. Select premium residences feature private furnished terraces with outdoor heated whirlpool spas framing direct views of Castel Sant'Angelo and the Vatican.

At the heart of the estate lies an expansive outdoor swimming pool flanked by luxurious Bali daybeds and manicured Mediterranean lawns—a true rarity in central Rome. Gastronomic delights await at Follie Restaurant, celebrating visionary Roman flavors, alongside al fresco poolside meals at Gala, Italian mixology in a former monastery library at Amaro Bar, and signature sensory treatments at the tranquil Spa by Clarins.
