Hotel de la Ville
Hotel de la Ville
Hotel de la Ville, located at the top of the Spanish Steps, is one of Rome's most prestigious addresses. The boutique-lined Via dei Condotti retail district is only a short walk away, as are popular attractions such as the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, and Villa Borghese.
The hotel's rooftop bar and terraces, which overlook Piazza di Spagna, provide postcard-perfect views of the Eternal City's domes and cupolas.
The hotel's opulent Grand Tour motif might have easily devolved into stodgy brocade and moody paints, but Tommaso Ziffer and Olga Polizzi - the design duo behind Rocco Forte's other spectacular Rome property, Hotel de Russie - have kept it fresh with a humorous modern twist.
The 18th-century palazzo's rich linens and opulent antiques are balanced by bold classical busts and digitally created mosaics that are just outrageous enough to be entertainingly brilliant.
Hotel de la Ville
The Print Room lounge, with bespoke laser cut wallpaper that replicates the look of a 17th-century salon decorated with an eclectic collection of paintings and antiquities amassed by a travelling aristocrat while passing through Europe, is the pinnacle of this marriage of historic grandeur and contemporary wit. From the miroirs sorcières in the foyer to the riviera stripes on the rooftop, the mood is both opulent and cheerful.
Hotel de la Ville is actually three renovated historic palazzi joined together to form one larger complex, providing ample space for a number of indoor and open-air lounges, bars, and eateries; an enormous spa featuring Irene Forte Skincare products; an impeccably equipped gym; and a vast enclosed courtyard with space for dining and lounging.
The hotel was fortunate to acquire two jewels from its de Russie sister property: the recipe for their famed rosemary-roasted cocktail almonds and Alexandra Sardo, head concierge and one of only two women in Rome.
Sardo's flawless yet personable demeanour exemplifies the general tone of service at the de la Ville, which strikes the ideal mix between professional exactitude and personal warmth.
Hotel de la Ville
The hotel's 100-plus rooms and suites, which span seven floors and face either Via Sistina or the hotel's interior courtyard, are decorated with an elaborate yet contemporary Grand Tour motif. Sleek modern and custom furniture, as well as elegant textiles and carpets, contrast with chinoiserie and neoclassical components, harkening back to 17th-century fashions.
Beds are king or super king-sized, with elegant paisley Indian throws; televisions are smart (and, surprisingly, sync without a hitch); and bathrooms are indulgent marble oases stocked with Irene Forte Skincare products made with organic Sicilian botanicals from the Rocco Forte Hotel's Verdura resort.
Hotel de la Ville
La Sistina, an upmarket café adjacent to the ground-floor lobby, serves tastefully presented Roman cuisine, including classics such as tonnarelli cacio e pepe and pasta alla gricia.
For sundowners and nightcaps, the rooftop Cielo Bar serves sparkling, mixed beverages and a menu of updated dim sum-inspired small snacks. True cocktail enthusiasts should swing by Julep Herbal & Vermouth Bar to try the unique and handcrafted concoctions inspired by the 13th-century spice trade that stretched from Venice to Asia.
Hotel de la Ville
Breakfast is served buffet-style in the Mosaic indoor and outdoor spaces, with continental classics and modern touches like as a juicing station and freshly baked pastries.
The Fifteen Keys
The Fifteen Keys
Monti is Rome's attractive, increasingly residential district located east of the Colosseum. This boutique hotel, located on the city's calmer eastern fringe, is conveniently close to shopping, restaurants, and nightlife, as well as the city's major Termini train station, which is only a seven-minute walk away.
The Fifteen Keys
You must ring the bell to gain entry to this tall, pale-cream-hued townhouse, which owners Sara Ferrajoli and Vincenzo Mirisola di Torresanto have converted, with the help of architect Antonio Girardi, into an utterly charming urban refuge with a cool retro feel reminiscent of Paris or London rather than Rome.
Grown-up colour palettes, 1950s-style sofas, and antique light fixtures set the tone for a stylish insider destination for plugged-in independent travellers.
Unlike many of Rome's recent boutique openings, The Fifteen Keys is open around the clock; owner Ferrajoli says that 'if you want a nightcap at the bar at 3 a.m., it's not an issue'. The receptionists are polite and quick, a complementary daily newspaper is provided, and the rooms are maintained immaculately clean. There is also a small fleet of vintage-style Dudebike bicycles that guests can borrow for free.
The Fifteen Keys
Most of the 15 rooms face the hotel's inner courtyard and are decorated in one of three distinct colours: light parchment, soft grey, or a quite appealing shade of petrol blue.
Some feature exposed brickwork, but the overall sense is one soberly stylish elegance, especially in the spacious bathrooms with basic retro-style equipment. If you prefer the notion of having a terrace, choose the Terrace Blue Room or one of the top-floor Classic Light doubles, which share an outside patio. All rooms include kettles, safes, and televisions.
The Fifteen Keys
The elegant ground-floor bar and breakfast area opens into an outdoor courtyard patio. Breakfast includes a variety of fresh fruits, handmade crostata (jam tart), scrambled eggs, and other treats, as well as great organic coffee.
Throughout the day, you can request refreshments (including a nice selection of wines) to be served here or in your room. In-room minibars are well-stocked, with deli foods from gourmet magnet. Eataly.
DoubleTree by Hilton Rome Monti
DoubleTree by Hilton Rome Monti
The hotel is located in the beautiful old offices of a legendary Italian insurance firm, facing the tree-lined Piazza dell'Esquilino and straddling the boundary between the cosmopolitan Esquilino and fashionable Monti, two of Rome's most popular neighbourhoods for varied eating and shopping. Termini, Rome's major rail station, is only up the street, making it easy to go in and out of the city (as well as take the metro to various areas).
The majestic Santa Maria Maggiore cathedral at the top of the plaza provides convenient sightseeing, and the Colosseum and Roman Forum are also within walking distance.
DoubleTree by Hilton Rome Monti
Hilton commissioned the award-winning London company THDP to design interiors that deviated from the typical chain-hotel blandness, and the collaboration paid off. Rather than a generic could-be-anywhere lobby, guests are met with a sleek, industrial-inspired winter garden that mixes an elite clubby ambiance with careful allusions to Rome's earthy hues, historic architecture, and lush flora.
While checking in at the reception desks at the far end of the room, look for the dispersed ornamental letters writing 'Hotel Commodore', which pay homage to the hotel that originally occupied a portion of the Doubletree Monti's rebuilt structures. This unexpectedly polished design is repeated in the hotel's neighbouring street-level restaurant and café, two modern eateries that complement Monti's edgy vibe.
Officially a four-star hotel, the Doubletree Rome Monti provides the level of service and amenities that one would expect from a five-star facility in the Eternal City, which is one of the benefits of the reputable Hilton brand. Freshly made welcome biscuits at check-in set the tone, and the staff is extremely helpful, eager to provide recommendations for dining and touring in the neighbourhood and beyond.

There is an amazing exercise facility with Technogym equipment that is larger and better equipped than other hotels in Rome, as well as a gorgeous rooftop bar and restaurant with views of Sant Maria Maggiore, in addition to the ground-floor restaurant and cafè.

DoubleTree by Hilton Rome Monti
The 133 rooms and suites are designed with a minimalist aesthetic, with warm parquet flooring and clean white walls surrounding elegant mid-century and industrial furniture. Peacock velvet seats, leather strap detailing, and framed artworks give warmth, while huge windows let in plenty of Roman sunshine, making the smaller spaces appear larger. The beds are comfortable, and mornings are made simpler with Lavazza espresso makers and a variety of coffees and teas.
The neighbouring streets can be congested, so light sleepers should choose an inside-facing or upper-level room to escape the noise. Tiled bathrooms with walk-in rain showers are spacious for Rome and immaculate by any measure.
Breakfast is a staffed buffet of Continental and English standards, along with a high-end self-service espresso/cappuccino machine; however, during the breakfast rush, a wait forms at the coffee machine.
Residenza Napoleone III
Residenza Napoleone III
Palazzo Ruspoli takes up an entire city block on central Via del Corso, in the centre of the fashion retail area and just a short walk from the Spanish Steps. However, once inside, you are a world apart from the street-level buzz and activity below. Some hotels are modelled after stately mansions or aristocratic townhouses; Residenza Napoleone III is the real deal.
Residenza Napoleone III
The Old Master paintings on the walls, the Roman emperor busts that line the grand entry stairway and the heritage antiquities that decorate the premises have all been passed down through generations of the Ruspoli family. But this is no draughty castle; despite its grandeur, it feels warm.

The main Napoleone III suite comprises of three vast, lavishly sumptuous rooms, giving you two sitting areas and a gigantic bedroom (complete with James Bond-esque details, such as the oil painting opposite the master bed that slides back to expose a massive television).
Residenza Napoleone III
Families may upgrade to a three- or four-bedroom apartment by adding the lovely Blue Room, which is entered by a wooden staircase. Separate from the main suite, the Roof Garden Suite is an intimate, cultured refuge surrounded by greenery with 360-degree views of central Rome's domes and rooftops. It can sleep two or three people in its basic version and up to five if you add an adjoining bedroom accessed via a steep yacht-cabin ladder.
The maid will bring you a fresh, organic breakfast on Bulgari cutlery at your preferred time. There is also a kitchenette, in case you need to open the oysters or measure out the caviar. All guests receive a welcome bag of fresh fruit and a bottle of Chianti made on the Ruspoli's Tuscan farm.
Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel
Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel
The hotel borders a portion of the circular Piazza della Repubblica, putting it in the heart of one of Rome's major transportation hubs, with the city's main Termini rail station just around the corner and metro lines, bus routes and taxis nearby.
Of course, it's not just about logistics; the Baths of Diocletian, the National Roman Museum, and the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and Martyrs all share the same plaza. For those willing to walk for ten minutes, Via Veneto, the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, and the trendy Monti area await.
Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel
One of the first sites many train travellers see in Rome is Palazzo Naiadi's beautiful neoclassical portico, which wraps around the famous Fountain of the Naiads and serves as what is perhaps the city's most regal hotel entry.
The formal stuccoed lobby has been refurbished with art deco-inspired décor and a sleek cocktail bar, while smaller sofas border the big area for more private conversations.
Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel
However, the rooftop eating and drinking area exemplifies Anantara's modern vision for the hotel, with greenery-filled indoor and outdoor areas, a gorgeous pool, and a buzzy, youthful environment.
Palazzo Naiadi's 230-plus rooms and suites are spread between the glorious late 19th-century main palace and the storied Clementine Wing, which was built by Pope Clement XI in 1705 to store grain for the Vatican.
Rome, often known as the Eternal City, is a location rich in history, culture, and unrivalled charm.
