Rome’s hotel scene has transformed over recent years, with a wave of design-forward boutiques, thoughtfully restored palazzi, and splashy big-name openings reshaping the Eternal City. Alongside the grande dames and old-school favorites that have long defined Roman hospitality, there’s now a deeper bench of stylish, personality-driven stays at every price.

In the beating heart of the Eternal City, The Grand Hotel Minerva has been stunningly restored back to her former glory.

Classical Roman grandeur in an unbeatable location near the Spanish Steps, but set back just enough that it doesn’t feel chaotic when you step out the lobby door.

We’ve got our restaurants on repeat (and what’s open on Sundays), plus aperitivo and cocktail spots that we and our Roman friends love. We also culled our favorite old-world hotels and the design-y new openings, the best shopping streets, as well as low-key galleries and museums—so everyone in your group will leave happy!

A very central, design-forward hotel in Rome with standout service, excellent food, and a refreshingly low-key approach to wellness.

A hotel that gets the balance exactly right—between grand and intimate, formal and relaxed, historically respectful and fresh—all in an excellent location near the Spanish Steps.
