Cardo Roma, Autograph Collection
Located just off the river Tiber, Cardo Roma lies within walking distance of large venues, such as Salone Delle Fontane, and conference buildings, including Palazzo dei Congressi. These links emulate the hotel’s ethos of ‘merging business with pleasure’, inspiring workspaces that connect guests to a city’s culture.
The inspiration behind the brand’s name derives from the north-south oriented street, known as ‘cardo’, found in Ancient Roman cities, which was the central hub of economic life. Nicolas Romero Oneto, head of Cardo Hotels, explains: ‘[This] embodies a lively and energetic vision that inspired our new, all-encompassing hospitality concept. Cardo Hotels uniquely adapted to the aesthetics and culture of their city, making them the perfect fit for Autograph Collection Hotels.’
Italian architect Lucio Passarelli originally completed the building in 1978, which has now been renovated to feature 324 guestrooms and suites, accompanied by business facilities and a wellness concept. Saar Zafrir, an Amsterdam-based designer, brought the interiors to life, drawing inspiration from the city's rich Roman history. A palette of olive green and terracotta is balanced with off-white hues. Sweeping arches and curved furniture add a playful touch, while luxury coffee table books by Taschen and fragrance by Muro equally transform the traditional conference hotel into a contemporary space.
Accompanying meeting spaces and secluded rooms, the hotel is also home to Olea Wellness and Spa, which includes a traditional sauna, hammam and four pools. After an afternoon of relaxation, guests can have a bite at Vertici, where authentic Italian cuisine, pasta-making classes and chef-hosted events await. For those feeling peckish and in no rush to leave the poolside, pool bar Spectio delivers an assortment of cocktails, snacks and smoothies accompanied by live music and DJ acts – a perfect round-up for a contemporary Roman Holiday.

In 2023, when Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman’s inflatable giant yellow rubber duck returned to Victoria Harbour (this time as a pair, in the artwork Double Duck), the Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong hotel took advantage of its bird’s eye view of the installation by posting on Instagram an image of a guest room with the hotel’s own rubber ducks in the foreground.
