Hotel Pulitzer

Southern Rome


One of several business hotels in or near 1930s EUR, the 83-room Pulitzer stands out for its classic Italian design, guest-spoiling rooftop pool and proximity to the metro (a five-minute walk away). Its poolside sunloungers on the 7th-floor roof terrace have great EUR views. The main part of EUR is a 10-minute walk south.
