Why We Like It
This hotel offers a boutique individualized stay in one of Rome's ritziest neighborhoods. You'll be steps from all the luxury shops in the city, and yet come home to a stay that feels like your own quaint apartment. Having breakfast on the rooftop terrace every morning is a great way to start the day. And rooms with balconies and terraces have their own incredible views. The staff is exceptional at making you feel welcome.
Fodor's Expert Review
Perched atop the Spanish Steps, this charming boutique hotel makes guests fall in love over and over again—so popular, in fact, it's often booked far in advance. If you're lucky enough to find vacancy here, you'll enjoy stylish rooms accentuated with cheery turquoise and yellow decor. The extravagant rooftop garden is a wonderful spot for breakfast or a glass of wine.
Tip The hotel has one panoramic suite to book, offering 360 views of the historic city.
