What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
it finds space for a garden courtyard as well as rooms that are generous, for Rome, if not quite palatial.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Piazza Barberini sits just around the corner, and the Trevi Fountain is a ten-minute stroll away.
The rooms
Executive rooms open onto private terraces above the courtyard, and interiors use smoked mirrors alongside warm wood and brass.
The gym
The subterranean fitness room is equipped with cardio machines and a multi-gym weight station for strength training.
At the table
Breakfast runs until noon in the basement dining room, where fresh pastries sit against brass shelving and mirrored panels.
How it began
The 1940s building originally housed the national pension fund for Italian chartered accountants before its 2021 conversion.
