The Palace of Congresses in Rome, more simply known as the Palazzo dei Congressi, is one of the most significant examples of rationalist architecture in the EUR district.
Designed by architect Adalberto Libera in the late 1930s, it was part of the large urban project connected to the Universal Exposition of Rome, which was planned for 1942 but never took place due to the outbreak of World War II.
Construction began in 1938–1939 and was completed only in 1954.
From an architectural perspective, the Palazzo dei Congressi combines monumentality and classical inspiration in a modern way: large volumes, fine marble, spacious halls and a strong aesthetic identity that still attracts designers, historians and industry professionals.
The interior halls can host a wide range of events, including conferences, exhibitions, shows and meetings, thanks to a flexible and functional layout.
Over the years, the building has hosted important public and corporate events, becoming an integral part of Rome’s professional and urban landscape.
For those attending an event or conference at the Palazzo dei Congressi, having a practical and well-connected accommodation is essential.
In this context, the tourist apartments Little Blue and Little Red, offered by i-Roma, represent an ideal solution.
These mini tourist apartments (which can be rented separately or together) are located in the San Paolo district, in via Timoteo, just off via Ostiense.
They are modern, comfortable and bright, also designed for short business stays, offering a double bedroom, fully equipped kitchen, living area with sofa bed, bathroom, balcony and fast Wi-Fi connection.
Reaching the Palazzo dei Congressi from the apartments is quick and easy.

You can drive along via Ostiense to via Cristoforo Colombo, then follow the signs towards EUR, taking the Grande Raccordo Anulare (exit no. 25/26) and arriving at piazza John F. Kennedy, where the building is located.
By metro, from the San Paolo stop near the apartments, you can take Line B towards Laurentina and get off at EUR Fermi. From there, the Palazzo dei Congressi can be reached on foot or with a short bus ride.
