The Capo d’Africa is a 65-room middle-tier hotel housed in a former convent and school that was redesigned in 2001 by architect Harry Gregory. The remodeling shows: There’s a modern and elegant approach to the property's aesthetics, with bright pops of purple in the lobby and works by contemporary artists hanging throughout the hotel. Rooms have ample space in comparison to other area venues and offer a simple decor with modern amenities. The location is within easy walking distance of the Colosseum, though it's a bit of a trek to other sights in the tourist center, such as the Pantheon or Trevi Fountain.
