The Forum

The place for business travelers to meet!

Marvel at the impressive colonnades, bronze and marble statues, and the magnificent Temple of the Capitoline Triad, where visitors may join residents in worshiping Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva.

 

Public Baths

Continue your business or simply relax at one of our beautifully decorated, centrally located baths: the Stabian, the Forum, and the Central. Slip into the hot water of the caldarium. Lounge in the warm steam of the tepidarium, then plunge into the invigorating coolness of the frigidarium. Complete your bath with a visit to our skilled hair-removers, perfumers, and masseurs.

Accomodations

Pamper yourself by staying at our nearly completed luxury hotel, featuring a private spa with thermal baths.
