FCO Airport

[bigdawgs]

We are two seniors. Does anyone know how far of a walk it is from baggage claim, etc. to the Hilton Rome Airport Hotel? We have several pieces of luggage. Should we get a taxi?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Try the port of call board since this is not a Celebrity specific issue

It's quite far, over 1/4 of a mile.  Most of the walk is inside (temperature controlled) and there are moving sidewalks & elevators.  However, the last 200 + feet to the hotel front door is outside on a regular (concrete) sidewalk.

My guess is the distance is about 1/2 mile.    The good thing is that you can take your luggage trolly with.  You go upstairs near the parking garage and their is an all weather tunnel that takes you within a couple hundred feet of the hotel.   Their are elevators on both end and you can take your luggage cart right to the hotel.

Thank you. We will get a taxi or Uber if available.

The Hilton Garden Inn is also on the FCO property, but not as close (e.g., not connected to the airport). HOWEVER, they have shuttles that pick up from the terminal outside baggage claim and take you directly to the hotel door. I find it is more convenient than the regular Hilton, but YMMV.

The Hilton Rome Airport is a great hotel and super convenient for the airport. It is a long walk, though. It is indoors most of the way, and you can stop as needed for breaks. We did it with 4 suitcases but were mid-30s. It might save the stress to just take a taxi.

I measured the covered bridge on google maps and it's about 1500ft. The website says it's about a 7min walk and it looks like it's covered on the bridge. The taxi ride would be take about 2min.

It might not work but when my DMIL was transitting Miami alone, we ordered a wheelchair with the airline.  They took her from the gate to immigration to baggage claim through customs and to her hotel inside the airport....maybe your airline would do the same in Rome?  Might be worth a phone call to your airline....riding a wheelchair would be much easier than hailing a taxi for a 2 min ride IMHO.

If the OP can handle Hong Kong the airport at Rome, while less organized, won’t be a problem.   We are also seniors, hip replacements etc, the walk is not bad.

Thanks, everyone. I suppose we will see when we get to the airport. I recall that we did this walk several years ago (2006) but we were younger then.

I found a map with directions from the Hilton Rome Airport website.

DIRECTIONS FROM THE HOTEL STAFF
A pedestrian walkway connects the Hilton Rome Airport to T1, T2 and T3 at the Leonardo da Vinci Fiumicino Airport. 

 

Arriving from Terminal 3, reach the upper level. 

 

Arriving from Terminal 1 and 2, reach the upper level by following directions to the Train Station.

 

Once on the upper level, take the covered walkway and follow directions to the Hilton Rome Airport.

 

The walk takes around 7 minutes.

I've stayed here many times, but even I made the Hilton vs. Hilton Garden Inn mistake. Only plus is that I thought the HGI had a better restaurant.
