Where to stay in Spagna & Tridente

The grid from the Spanish Steps down to the Trevi Fountain and along Via del Corso: Rome's shopping quarter and the address of most of its grand hotels. It is as central as the Centro Storico and considerably easier to reach, because two metro stations sit inside it rather than on its edge. It is also the one part of the historic centre where the streets are wide and straight.
