QC Grand Hotel Roma
Fiumicino, Italy · QC Terme · Near Luxury
Two minutes from the Fiumicino runways, on an old Torlonia estate inside the Oasi di Porto, facing the hexagonal lake that Trajan had cut as the harbour of Rome. QC built its spa into the cheese stores of the 1920s farm buildings, vaulted rooms with skylights, underground passages and hidden stairs, and holds the water at the 37 degrees Roman bathers preferred. Fifty rooms open onto it, their bathrooms lined in ten kinds of old marble. Umbrella pines, eucalyptus and laurel fill the park outside.

About QC Grand Hotel Roma
- The estate looks across Lago di Traiano, the hexagonal basin the emperor Trajan had dug in the second century as Rome's sea harbour, its shape still perfectly legible from the air.
- The circuit reproduces the sequence of an imperial bath, tepidarium to calidarium to laconicum to frigidarium, then lets you out into ten thousand square metres of garden.
- Some of the marble in the rooms comes from the Torlonia collection, the family that drained and farmed this land in the 1920s and whose ancient sculpture holdings are among the most famous in private hands.
History
The property is part of a historic estate on Via Portuense that belonged to the Torlonia family and passed to Duke Ascanio Sforza Cesarini, a descendant. The buildings the hotel and spa occupy are farm structures from the 1920s, put up when Prince Torlonia drained and reclaimed the surrounding fields.
QC Terme, the spa group Andrea and Saverio Quadrio Curzio started in Bormio in the 1980s, opened here in 2014 and called it a return to the origins of the Roman bath. The wellness rooms were carved out of the caciara, the vaulted cheese stores, keeping the skylights, the underground passages and the hidden staircases. Tubs are held at 37 degrees, with Vichy showers, a Kneipp circuit, steam rooms and biosaunas, and around ten thousand square metres of garden. The 50 hotel rooms open directly onto the spa and their bathrooms use ten different antique marbles, some from the Torlonia collection.
The setting
The hotel stands inside the Oasi di Porto, a protected estate of pine, oak, eucalyptus and laurel between Rome and the Ostia coast, facing Lago di Traiano. That lake is the surviving hexagonal basin of Portus, the artificial harbour Claudius began and Trajan completed to feed imperial Rome, and archaeological remains sit in the fields around the buildings. Fiumicino airport is two minutes away, the Fiera di Roma is close, and the Museo delle Navi Romane, built over the Roman ships found during airport construction, is nearby.
