Umiltà 36
This newcomer from the upmarket Shedir Collection portfolio (Hotel Maalot, Vilon Luxury Hotel) has an unbeatable location on Via dell’Umiltà: a short stroll to Trevi fountain, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, and around the corner from the shopping along Via del Corso.
Cosmopolita Hotel Rome, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
With its unassuming, faded façade, you could easily mistake the Cosmopolita for one of the many dated properties dotted around Rome. And you’d be right—the Cosmopolita has been around for years, run by an ever-rotating wheel of hotel chains.
Sentho Roma
This independent hotel sits in a restored palazzo in the heart of Rome’s Monti neighborhood, next to the Basilica of Santa Prudenziana, Rome’s oldest Christian church. The two share a courtyard, bringing a tranquil, almost meditative feel to your stay.
Margutta 19 Luxury Hotel
Arches and patterned floor tiles, flowers stood so perfectly in their vases they must be on the payroll, and a golden light falling just right on the cobbles outside. Nothing is left to chance in Margutta 19. Even dust doesn’t fall where it’s not supposed to.
Corso 281
With many of Rome’s hotels run by conglomerates, Corso 281 stands out for its personalized, one-to-one approach. Owner and former lawyer Natalino Gisonna is at the hotel daily and runs everything directly, from managing all hotel requests to offering a tailored concierge service that effectively involves him recommending the kind of off-the-radar places only locals know about.
Soho House Rome
The Rome outpost of Soho House is energizing and modern, set inside a 10-story restored building with an industrial feel. The property is next to La Sapienza university. There’s a strong visual-art theme across the hotel, with a dedicated gallery space and a 42-seat screening room; all guest rooms (49 bedrooms and 20 apartments) offer unparalleled views stretching across the mountains and the Eternal City.
The Hoxton, Rome
The Hoxton Rome is the most stylish new hangout in Rome’s Parioli—an upscale district brimming with good food and art and culture. Since its opening, its restaurant and cocktail bar Cugino has drawn Rome’s coolest local crowd.
Hotel Eden
This place could very well be our own Eden. Part of the Dorchester Collection, it's elegant and calm, with marble floors, a gold-lit ceiling and vases of freshly-picked flowers in every corner.
Hotel Manfredi
It feels wrong to call Palazzo Manfredi a hotel; rather, it’s a palatial residence, owned by none other than Count Goffredo Manfredi. The reception area is suitably grand, with ancient maps on the wall and leather Chesterfield armchairs.
Hotel Chapter Roma
Here’s a city that does traditional in spades, but until recently hadn’t embraced the sort of street-savvy, communal-spaced hotel that New York and London are familiar with. So Chapter feels like a place that fully understands visitors who have come to expect DJs spinning at cocktail hour and street-art tours at concierge.
The First Roma Dolce
This is the second hotel in Pavilions Hotels' Rome-centric The First Experience collection. Sister property First Roma Art is all about contemporary art; Dolce, meanwhile, focuses on exactly what its name implies: sweets and pastries.
Hotel De' Ricci
Old school lushes and anyone who enjoys a tipple will love Rome's Hotel De' Ricci, settled right within the Riona Regola neighborhood. This is a place that’s all about the wine, with eight seriously smart rooms.
Villa Spalletti Trivelli Dimora d'Epoca
The entrance to Villa Spalletti Trivelli is as grand as you’d expect, this being a villa after all. And what a villa it is, with a sandstone exterior overlooking a garden of trimmed hedges and manicured lawns. Inside, you feel like you’ve stumbled into someone else’s home, rather than a hotel; the bedsheets are soft, the pillows and mattress so comfortable, that you’re basically cradled to sleep.
Palazzo Dama
Palazzo Dama is everything you’d imagine a modern Roman palace to be: chic, polished, and with just the right amount of bling. There’s parquet flooring throughout, chandeliers dripping from the ceiling, and a serious collection of artwork on nearly every wall.
Condominio Monti
Condominio Monti is made up of two buildings in Monti, one of Rome’s most central neighborhoods. The exterior is unassuming—there’s even a faded old hotel sign hanging from the building windows—but walk through air-conditioned entrance and things start to get interesting.
Hotel Locarno
Miss the 60s, want to go back? Hotel Locarno is for you. The receptionist works behind a period cabinet converted into the sort of desk Philip Marlowe would happily put his feet on and Art-Deco ornamentations abound, from the beautiful clocks, to the slightly sinister candlesticks.
Hotel Vilòn
The quiet, confident arrival of the Vilòn gave Rome a boutique hotel to showcase the city’s sharp sophistication, which too often gets lost among its antiquities—or trumped by that of Paris and Milan.
The Fifteen Keys Hotel
Housed in a restored five-story villa, The Fifteen Keys is the epitome of urban chic: It's modern and tastefully decorated, with polished parquet and creamy walls throughout.
La Scelta di Goethe
With a simple, inconspicuous door on Rome’s main shopping street, Via del Corso, La Scelta di Goethe certainly has the art of privacy down pat. Daniel, the property manager, meets you on the street and whisks you upstairs to your apartment—and that’s where the magic truly begins.
G-Rough
G-Rough Rome is total luxury, in that the owners have clearly spent a lot of money to make it look like they didn’t spend much money at all. The vibe at the Piazza Navona hotel is industrial-chic, with exposed concrete walls, and graffiti-style artwork on the ceilings.
The First Musica
Located on the banks of Tiber, The First Musica stands out from Prati’s grand old palazzos with its modern, cubist design. While the mid-century palazzo was originally designed by esteemed Roman architect Mario Docci, it’s been given a facelift by Studio Marincola, who have brought plenty of light into the concrete building through big, oversized windows.
Fendi Private Suites
The owners of Fendi Private Suites must have emptied a marble quarry—or five—during its construction, because the hotel’s public spaces are absolutely plastered with the stuff.
Portrait Roma
Portrait Roma, from the Ferragamo family, is as pretty as a picture. On one of Rome’s most fashionable streets, Via Bocca di Leone, mahogany doors open to a shiny hallway, complete with big, blown-out black and white snaps of Salvatore Ferragamo himself.
Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel
Rome Cavalieri, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel set on 15 acres with views to St. Peter’s, is both a lavish escape and a perfect city-break address.
Elizabeth Unique Hotel
On approach, Elizabeth Unique Hotel looks like a private townhouse. The aura is contemporary and slick, with a dark, ground-level entry vestibule leading to a large, luminous reception lounge on the first level.
Hotel de la Ville
If Rocco Forte’s Hotel de Russie is Anita Ekberg all dressed up in the Trevi Fountain in La Dolce Vita, then Hotel De La Ville is Roman Holiday’s Audrey Hepburn on a Vespa—younger, fresher, and with a bit more pep.
Mama Shelter Roma
From the outside, Mama Shelter isn’t much to write home about: two grey tower blocks to the west of Rome’s center. But step inside and things start to get interesting. Décor is bold and pop-art-themed, with candy-colored tables and chairs, a garden ceiling and neon lights.
Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel
Luxury Thai brand Anantara recently took over this property, formerly part of the NH hotel brand—and what a change they’ve made. Given Anantara’s status as a go-to retreat for upmarket travelers looking for local experiences and stories, it’s not surprising that their first Italian property attracts a similar clientele, decked out in comfortable clothes ideal for exploring—think designer brand polo shirts and Tods loafers.
The Tribune Hotel, part of JdV by Hyatt
This new arrival from Hyatt is shaking up the city’s straightlaced Villa Borghese, with a destination rooftop bar and eye-catching contemporary design. In opening near Via Veneto, they’ve taken inspiration from Rome’s original coffee houses where Rome’s artists, intellectuals and writers gathered to attend literary salons and exchange ideas.
Hotel Hassler Roma
The Hassler Roma describes itself as the "Stairway to Heaven," and, like the song, it’s an icon. The recent revamp of the Roman hotel, completed in early 2018, has done it wonders, the mahogany concierge and reception desk is polished and welcoming.
Hotel de Russie
From the moment the top-hatted doorman ushers you into the classic-modern space by former Valentino interiors whiz Tommaso Ziffer and Rocco Forte Hotels director of design Olga Polizzi, the sense of being in the foremost place to stay in town is as sharp as the Campari sodas served at the bar.
Palm Suite
A riot of color, mismatched furniture, and vintage objects, Palm Suite draws a swanky, fashion conscious clientele looking for spacious, boutique residences just steps from the Colosseum and Roman Forum.
Generator Rome
Only 10 minutes from Rome's Termini Rail Station, Generator attracts a good mixture of those on a budget and those arriving into the city at unreasonable hours. We’re talking students and hippies, backpackers and businessmen crashing out before an early train the next day.
DoubleTree by Hilton Rome Monti
DoubleTree by Hilton has created a sophisticated Roman space that’s reflective of the city thanks to collaborations with local artists and designers. The brand has managed to keep its 133 rooms feeling local and elegant, with polished wood floors and emerald green sofas.
Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese
Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese is an elegant boutique abode situated in a 19th-century palazzo on the edge of Villa Borghese. It’s regal and grand, with ornate, elegant hallways and classically designed guest rooms.
The St. Regis Rome
Marriott invested 40 million euro into renovating this formerly faded property, reimagining it for today with light-filled communal spaces and plenty of glitz.
Villa Agrippina Gran Meliá - The Leading Hotels of the World
Rome in summer is glorious, and there’s nowhere better to bed down than at the Gran Meliá Rome, a five-star property on the banks of the Tiber, not far from Vatican City.
W Rome
Prepare for a W like you’ve never seen before, located in the heart of Ludovisi—a posh, quiet neighborhood abutting the Villa Borghese and just an arancino’s throw to the Spanish Steps.
Rocco Forte House, Piazza di Spagna, Rome
The Rocco Forte brand has a reputation for some of the best hospitality in Rome, and that extends to Rocco Forte House. Film stars, musicians and high rollers tend to book into these apartments, drawn to their privacy, location and luxurious rooms.
J.K. Place Roma
J.K. Place is one seriously stylish…well, place. Stride into the lobby and there’s no mistaking you’re in Rome: expect white marble sculptures, bronze lamps, and chunky design bibles on the shelves.
Hotel Maalot
Hotel Maalot is a new five-star hotel that draws a young, upmarket crowd looking for colorful, individually-designed rooms outfitted with modern artwork and flea market finds.
