The Radical Hotel Roma
Minimalist palazzo pied-à-terre
Minimalist palazzo pied-à-terre
It functions like a private apartment rather than a traditional hotel, stripped of excess and tailored for independent city living.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
With just 11 rooms, however, it’s a small one, which means an extra personal touch to the service — and an extra measure of wonder at the fact that they keep their rates so affordable.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Piazza Barberini is five minutes away on foot, and the gardens of Villa Borghese lie an easy walk north.
The rooms
Bathrooms are laid in marble with walk-in showers, and blackout curtains shut out the morning sun.
At the table
Breakfast arrives in your room from a pre-ordered menu, or you can take coffee and cake in the lounge.
How it began
Designers converted a two-level residence inside a late-nineteenth-century palazzo in 2019, stripping the space down to bare architectural essentials.
