My return flight is at 6:30 am from Rome Fiumicino Airport. I'm coming in from Florence the evening before. Does anyone have a recommendation for a hotel near the airport for that one evening?
Thanks,
Tony

We stayed at the Rome Airport Hilton in January 2013. It's literally steps from the terminal. Our flight was early, but not quite as early as 6:30, so we had time for breakfast - an exceptionally excellent breakfast -- at the hotel. They offer a shuttle van to the terminal, but we had to leave so early, and the walk out the hotel door and into the terminal was less than 2 minutes, so we simply walked into the terminal.
JAF,
The Rome Airport Hilton is about the easiest one. As the previous poster mentioned, you can walk directly from the hotel along a covered walkway directly into Terminal 2.

And here's my review of my stay in May 2014 at the Rome Airport Hilton: https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/italy-reviews/rome-accommodation-rome-airport-hilton
Hotel Hilton. Walking distance to the airport. You can walk to other terminals, too, not just Terminal 2. Hotel Hilton has complimentary bus to Downtown Rome. And back, of course.
Ilja,
"You can walk to other terminals, too, not just Terminal 2."
I should have been more specific. As I recall, the covered walkway from the hotel connects between terminal 1 and terminal 2, so it's easy to get from there to Terminals 1-3 (but not Terminal 5).
