What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
a stay at the Argentina Residenza is more like being in a private apartment. Standard rooms are, well, standard, but smart and elegant, with high ceilings, parquet floors, heavy drapery and brand-new bathrooms.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The ancient temple ruins and feline sanctuary of Largo di Torre Argentina sit below, minutes on foot from the Pantheon.
The rooms
High coffered ceilings and parquet floors frame contemporary Italian furniture, paired with sleek bathrooms fitted with chromotherapy showers.
SA Cafè Lounge Bar
The lounge serves morning espresso and pastries beneath exposed brick arches, switching to Italian aperitivi and cocktails by evening.
How it began
Once a noble seventeenth-century residence, the palazzo was carefully converted in 2014, preserving its original masonry archways and historic structural bones.
