Best Luxury Hotels In Rome
There are few places as cinematic as Rome. A truly unique city that invites you to channel your main character energy whilst soaking in culture, history, food and drink by the bucket. Many quite rightly flock to the major players – a turn around the Colosseum here, a tour through The Vatican there but make sure you leave time to get lost as the best parts of this city are those you discover when you are least expecting it – bistro table laden baroque piazzas inviting you to sip espresso and watch the world go by, a vibrant and thriving street art scene juxtaposing pops of colour with ancient ruins and food markets full of shouting nonnas and bustling chefs.
No trip to Rome would be complete without retail therapy – from luxury designers to intimate boutiques, days if not weeks can be lost to the art of shopping here. At the end of the day, weary but sated from exploration and absorption, an aperitivo or two at sundown is essential before heading out to revel in one of the city’s hundreds of gastronomic delights.
And as such a desirable destination, Rome is not without its shortage of luxury hotels, from internationally recognised names leading the way in hospitality to independent boutiques enjoying prime locations – and everything in between – the choice is vast. Read on to discover some of our favourite luxury hotels in Rome to help plan your trip.
