The 2025 Jubilee in Rome
And what it means for your clients!
Stay in the Know: What the 2025 Jubilee Means for Your Clients
Rome is set to welcome millions of visitors for the 2025 Jubilee, a Holy Year of spiritual renewal held once every 25 years. While the event will bring an influx of pilgrims, there’s no reason for your clients to avoid the Eternal City—in fact, it’s an incredible time to experience Rome in a new light.
✅ No Impact on Luxury Travel – Pilgrims attending the Jubilee will primarily stay in monasteries, convents and hostels, meaning luxury hotels remain unaffected. Rates have not increased, and availability for high-end accommodations remains strong.
✅ Rome Will Be More Beautiful Than Ever – The city has undergone stunning restorations in preparation for the Jubilee, including a fully pedestrianized Piazza Pia and newly uncovered medieval walls near Piazza San Giovanni. These enhancements offer an even more seamless and immersive experience for visitors.
✅ Travel Smart & Plan Ahead – With a full year of events, travelers can time their visits wisely. Pre-booking top attractions like the Vatican Museums is key, while private guides and off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods allow for a more intimate experience of the city.
Rather than avoiding Rome, help your clients embrace this extraordinary moment—because in 2025, all roads truly lead to Rome, and choosing the right stay is essential. Whether they seek timeless elegance, contemporary design, or a charming boutique retreat, Rome’s luxury hotels are ready to welcome them with open arms.Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting transformation!
