"It all looked so romantic: the food, the ancient landmarks, the Vespa rides, the stunning architecture. So, when Marriott Bonvoy Moments offered me a chance to enjoy one of their members' experiences, I jumped at the opportunity to make my dreams come true. Staying at the Pantheon Iconic Hotel, Autograph Collection, in the city's center, I was steps away from iconic monuments, relaxing cafes, and delectable restaurants."
"If you're combating jet lag, the best thing you can do once you touch down in Rome (and freshen up in your hotel) is grab a coffee and a pastry. Rome is littered with great cafes and bakeries; just around the corner from my hotel was Sant'Eustachio Caffè, renowned for its home-roasted coffee and water sourced from an ancient aqueduct. A five-minute walk away is Pasticceria Leonardo, which offers a variety of treats, including the regionally specific maritozzo: a cream-filled pastry made from sweet bread."
Dreams of Rome inspired by childhood movies led to a weekend stay at the Pantheon Iconic Hotel, Autograph Collection, secured through Marriott Bonvoy Moments. The central location provided easy access to landmarks such as the Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Spanish Steps, and the Mouth of Truth. The mornings focused on coffee and pastries at nearby favorites including Sant'Eustachio Caffè and Pasticceria Leonardo, with a highlight cappuccino at Faro near Villa Borghese. The itinerary combined cinematic sightseeing, local culinary treats like the maritozzo, and leisurely walks between cafés and monuments for a culturally rich Roman experience.
