What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Salotto Monti’s undisputed glory is the rooftop terrace. An Italian continental breakfast is served here, and it’s also a lovely spot for aperitivi at sunset.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Monti's cobblestone alleys wrap around the building, filled with neighborhood trattorias a short walk from the Roman Forum.
The rooms
Bedrooms have parquet floors and Fornasetti wallpaper, furnished either with antique gilded mirrors or bold, striped modern art.
At the table
The breakfast room has magenta velvet banquettes under palm-patterned wallpaper, with pastries and fruit lining a curved alcove.
How it began
The hotel began when founder Kaja Osinski teamed up with Filippo Ribacchi to remake his mother's traditional family guesthouse.
