This 91-room luxury boutique hotel feels both monumental and somehow strangely intimate; it’s set close to the Via Veneto and Piazza Barberini, but enjoys a generous measure of luxe seclusion.
“The 93 guest rooms and suites are the definition of quiet luxury, with neutral colors and artisan touches like leather door handles.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on a quiet street off Piazza Barberini, the hotel sits a short stroll from the Spanish Steps and Villa Borghese gardens.
The rooms
Canaletto walnut beds and herringbone parquet bring warmth to tailored rooms, paired with dark stone bathrooms and custom Carrara marble basins.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The seventh-floor heated travertine plunge pool is bordered by teak daybeds and looks across the Roman skyline.
The spa and gym
Underground, two wood-paneled treatment rooms offer custom massages, set beside a 24-hour fitness center with Technogym machines.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Candlelit tables fill the lush sunken courtyard garden, and two intimate cocktail dens pour drinks late into the night.
Its 93 rooms and suites are a symphony of muted opulence and bespoke craftsmanship, including the hotel’s two secret cocktail areas.
How it began
Originally constructed as a 1940s bank headquarters, the building still showcases its monumental central staircase carved from rare Apuan Cipollino marble.
“The hotel’s lobby is defined by seven-metre high ceilings and travertine floors throughout, with bespoke seating and marble tables…”
