With a distinctive blue colour scheme throughout, the modern Blu Hotel Roma opened in 2005 and lies five kilometres from ancient Roman attractions such as the Coliseum and Forum, all accessible via Tiburtina Station, one kilometre away.

Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) is 38 kilometres from the hotel, around 35 minutes by car. Guests cross a cobblestone courtyard and enter the modern four storey hotel through glass doors. Natural light bathes the cherry wood reception area, to the left of which is a lounge with soft seating and a flatscreen television. Guests of the Blu Hotel Roma can browse complimentary daily papers over a buffet breakfast.

Multilingual staff at the 24 hour front desk are on hand to provide tips on local sightseeing, as well as booking restaurants and concert tickets, and guests can plan their own days out using wireless Internet access (surcharge). Bicycles can be rented on site.

The Blu Hotel Roma has 72 guestrooms, with the signature blue colour scheme continued in the heavy drapes and wall to wall carpets. Rooms have cherry wood furnishings and natural light pours through soundproofed glass doors that lead to private balconies. All rooms come with satellite television, high speed Internet connections and minibars, while marble bathrooms have showers, tubs and complimentary toiletries.
