Also means
to sojourn
Usage Note
Soggiornare takes avere as its auxiliary and means to spend time in a place, implying a stay of more than a few hours — a holiday, a residence abroad, or a prolonged visit. The related noun soggiorno means both 'stay' and 'living room'. Do not use soggiornare to mean 'to stay' in the sense of stopping or remaining in position (rimanere covers that sense).
Examples
"Hanno soggiornato per due settimane a Roma."
Natural Translation
They stayed in Rome for two weeks.
