Located on a quiet street in the center of Rome, near the renowned Borghese gardens and Villa Medici, the hotel is within walking distance of the Eternal City’s main attractions. Inspired by the adjacent gardens, the five-star hotel’s design in a former 19th-century Roman palazzo mixes materials and textures, complemented by a neutral color palette with nature-inspired tones. Rooms are of a contemporary design featuring light, bright tones and frescoed ceilings. Fine dining is available in the unique atmosphere of the Settimo restaurant, where a contemporary Roman menu is complemented by a roof terrace with panoramic views over the Eternal City. The hotel curates a plethora of unique activities, including a collection of Mini Viaggi day trips in luxury supercars, yoga around Rome at some of the city’s most scenic locations, and a Bellissima Experience with a top Italian fashionista that features “the works”— everything from wardrobe styling to jewelry, and hair and makeup by a celebrity artist. Additionally, its new Rome for Repeat Visitors Guide features Rome’s history and culture at under-the-radar museums, parks, palaces, and churches.
