Palazzo Talia
Currently near the top of everyone’s list, Palazzo Talia was designed by Luca Guadagnino, director of Call Me By Your Name and 2024’s Queer. Built inside a 16th-century palace, Palazzo Talia, is a wonder of design, taste, and hospitality. Located close to the Fontana di Trevi, it’s also well situated between many of Rome’s major attractions.

Romeo Roma
For modern art lovers and lovers of high contrast, daring design, and the opposite of understated, the Romeo Roma is for you. A Zaha Hadid project, with cuisine overseen by chef Alain Ducasse, the Romeo offers candy for the eye and stomach. Perks: The spa, family rooms, and dedicated games and cigar rooms. Though technically kid friendly, the restaurant might not be the place to bring the young ones.

Bulgari Hotel Roma
Yes, the luxury fashion house has its own hotel, and, fittingly, the crowd it draws is fashionable. The 110-room hotel could be a jewelry showroom. The marble is plentiful. The lighting is strong. There’s also a spa, and the very first Bulgari Dolci chocolatier and patisserie in Italy. Though you could easily spend all your time on its grounds, the Hotel Bulgari is also centrally located. Perk: The Little Gems Club for kids.

The Rome Edition
With tall ceilings, button sconces, living walls, and 91 rooms, this hotel is sharp without being showy. EDITION is a Marriott brand that gets its details right. Built inside a former bank, the hotel has its own restaurant, multiple bars, a roof deck, plunge pool, and a custom line of Le Labo bath products.

G-Rough
G-Rough promises the insider experience, but luxury. There’s no lobby, just a wine bar, which is where you pick up your key. Concrete walls, long-limbed light fixtures, and curated experiences in the city are on offer. There’s lots of art. Food is available to order in but there’s no restaurant on the premises. The crowd here is young.

Casa Monti
The “artists residence reimagined,” Casa Monti could be called whimsical. Its interiors are rich in florals and bright patterns thanks to the work of Laura Gonzalez. The space is warm, the views are skyline, and there’s a rooftop terrace. Not far from the Colosseum, Casa Monti is well located for going out, but has plenty to offer for those who want to stay in, including a spa with multiple treatments, and a restaurant.

Hotel Locarno
Classic might be the right word to describe the Hotel Locarno, if your idea of classic is Upper East Side New York but in Rome. Its lavish bohemian settees are velvet, the doors and windows are adorned with Deco metalwork. The “grand dame of boutique hotels,” as it was dubbed by the Telegraph, offers tours, wellness experiences, and more than one dining option––including a menu for your dog.

Palazzo Velabro
Modern and spacious, the Palazzo Velabro’s subtle elegance is underscored by its historical significance: This is where, as legend has it, the twins Romulus and Remus washed up in a basket, carried by the Tiber River. The original 18th-century mansion that houses the Velabro was redone by celebrated architect Luigi Moretti in 1960, and with amenities like a gym, restaurant, and cinema, the Palazzo Velabro could make an ideal hub for the traveler who’s mixing work with pleasure.

Rhinoceros Roma
If the experience you’re after is one in lockstep with contemporary culture, Rhinoceros is for you. Take a look at the website and you’ll get the idea (it’s like the cluttered desktop of your coolest colleague). Hotel rooms feature concrete and steel, exposed wood and brick that make the modern shapes and vibrant colors of its sparse decor pop. There is also, yes, an art gallery on site, curated by Fendi.

Donna Camilla Savelli
This former 16th-century monastery hugs a startlingly picturesque courtyard, situated at the base of the Janiculum Hill, from which one of Rome’s finest views can be found. At Donna Camilla Savelli, the grounds are half the allure. One quiet perk: parking.

Villa Laetitia
Another work of Anna Fendi Venturini, of the famous Fendi family, Villa Laetitia is for the traveler who wants the Italian hotel they saw in ‘90s movies. That’s not to say the amenities aren’t tops. Common descriptors of the Laetitia are “glamorous, old-world,” and “for the fashion set.” Its restaurant, Enoteca la Torre, has two Michelin stars.

Maalot Roma
Though its themed rooms, maximalist design and art-bedecked walls (plus a five-star rating) are enough for the young crowd known to haunt the Maalot, its location is also part of the draw. Situated in the centro storico, near the Trevi fountain, and home to the supremely popular Don Pasquale restaurant, the Maalot has a lot going for it. Referred to as “discreet” because of its unassuming exterior, this place is anything but on the inside.
