Piazza Navona
An ivy-clad landmark just off Piazza Navona with a rooftop terrace that commands panoramic views across Rome's domes and rooftops. The Bramante Suite with its original 15th-century ceiling is worth the splurge, and the central location means you're walking distance to virtually everything in the historic centre.
Colosseum
Wake up and look directly at the Colosseum from your bed — the view from this intimate 16-room hotel is arguably the most spectacular in Rome. The rooftop terrace restaurant with the floodlit arena as backdrop is unforgettable for a special dinner. Small enough to feel personal, polished enough to feel luxurious.
Piazza del Popolo
The terraced Secret Garden alone makes de Russie worth the stay — a walled oasis of orange trees and jasmine between the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo. Rooms are refined without being stuffy, the Stravinskij Bar is one of Rome's great people-watching spots, and the Rocco Forte spa is genuinely excellent.
Salario
The Hoxton's Roman outpost occupies a 17th-century palazzo with a courtyard restaurant that's become a destination in its own right. The brand's signature affordable-cool aesthetic translates beautifully to Rome — rooms are compact but thoughtfully designed, and the Salario location is walkable to Villa Borghese and Via Veneto.
Spanish Steps
Rocco Forte's showpiece at the top of the Spanish Steps occupies one of the most coveted addresses in Rome. The rooftop Cielo Terrace has 360-degree views, interiors by Olga Polizzi mix bold colour with classical Roman references, and the location literally cannot be beaten for the historic centre.
Campo de' Fiori
A design-forward boutique in a converted palazzo steps from Campo de' Fiori's morning market. The rooftop terrace has one of Rome's best aperitivo views, rooms feature original architectural details layered with contemporary Italian design, and the restaurant serves modern Roman cuisine that actually competes with the neighbourhood trattorias.
