You’ll find tiny boutique properties, swaggering grande dames and family-run guesthouses in Rome — and, as the city demands, there’s history in every one of them.
Not for nothing is Rome called the Eternal City. Time loses its meaning in the Italian capital: ancient Roman remains are mixed in with Renaissance palazzos, and grand baroque squares sit alongside imposing neoclassical architecture. Presiding over it all is a skyline that undulates with church domes — including St Peter’s, designed by Michelangelo, which beckons visitors towards the Vatican. Over the past decade, the hotel scene has become as multilayered as Rome itself.
Sustainability is engrained in the ethos at 15th-century Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini, near Piazza Venezia. The hotel — which opened in 2023 and was awarded LEED Gold certification for its environmentally conscious remodelling — runs on green energy, the guestrooms are clad in local travertine and the plant-heavy restaurant menu features locally sourced ingredients.
Have you got the time? You will at ‘The Watch Hotel’, which opened in 2022. The walls are covered in artwork of Rolexes, the bedside lights look like moving cogs, and handles for drawers, doors and bathroom taps are shaped like second hands. The obsession is down to the owner, who has amassed one of the world’s largest watch collections — those paintings on the walls are his prized possessions.
