Where to Stay in Rome Right Now
Chase Travel experts explore the world to help you find the perfect hotel for every situation. Get inspired for your next trip with more curated hotel guides.
Rome may be known as the Eternal City, but its hospitality scene is constantly changing. In fact, the city is experiencing a particularly exciting hotel opening spree as of late. You’ve always been able to find everything from iconic properties in restored mansions to newer additions with contemporary architecture, but now you also have places like the eye-catching Palazzo Talìa, a luxe stay designed by a renowned filmmaker.
This year, we’re especially excited about the Orient Express La Minerva—the very first property from Orient Express, and a rebirth of one of Rome’s most historic hotels. Don’t miss it, along with these other inspired stays in a city already known for its impeccable taste.
Six Senses Rome
Trevi
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
It’s no surprise this wellness-focused hotel has a Roman bathing circuit. But it also offers 21st-century spa treatments like cryo-lifting facials and biohacking packages with light therapy and breathing masks. At the first Six Senses hotel in Italy, you can even detox with yoga sessions and fresh juices, then retox with tiramisu croissants at breakfast and creative cocktails at the rooftop bar—just like the ancient Romans did, going from the baths to bacchanalian banquets.
The Rome EDITION
Ludovisi

For its first Italian property, EDITION created a lantern-lit garden that doubles as a piazza and a restaurant inspired by the bold flavors of Rome and Naples. But the brand’s signatures (faux-fur throws, jewel-toned velvet, the Punch Room cocktail bar) remain. Toss in the glowing green Jade Bar and a rooftop pool bar and you’ve got the recipe for a hedonistic stay in this pleasure-loving city. This is one hotel where you’ll want (or need) to sleep in.
W Rome
Ludovisi

Spread across two historic palazzos, W Rome has colorful furnishings and custom artworks, including a mural by a local artist. It all feels rather mature, though with its live DJs and rooftop pool, this hotel is still clearly a W. The roof also draws visitors for gourmet pizza and cocktails, while the ground-floor restaurant offers a taste of Sicily by Ciccio Sultano, one of the island’s most decorated chefs.
Bvlgari Hotel Roma
Campo Marzio
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
This heritage Roman jewelry brand now has a hotel in its hometown, and there are plenty of nods to Italian art and design, like Murano glass accents and custom mosaics and fabrics inspired by Bvlgari motifs. The indoor pool is more than 60 feet long, with glittering mosaics inspired by the ones in the Baths of Caracalla, and the hotel’s culinary offerings include a rooftop bar, casual café and elegant restaurant, all with menus by acclaimed chef Niko Romito.
Palazzo Ripetta
Tridente

Sure, you’re in Rome, but you don’t even have to leave this 78-room hotel to see fantastic art. Across the property, you’ll find a dynamic collection of works, ranging from Italian frescoes and sculptures to Roman artifacts and American Pop art, including an original Andy Warhol. Additionally, Palazzo Ripetta, which is one of the city’s few independent hotels of its caliber, offers bold, eclectic design and worthwhile dining outlets, including the casual Piazzetta Ripetta in the cloister and the San Baylon Restaurant, where chef Christian Spalvieri brings French flair to an otherwise Italian menu.
Orient Express La Minerva
Pantheon
The 2025 opening of this swanky stay near the Pantheon was doubly significant: It marked the rebirth of one of Rome’s oldest and most beloved hotels as well as a new chapter for the Orient Express brand (whose portfolio is expanding with more hotels, sailing yachts and luxury trains). Fittingly, Orient Express pulled out all the stops, returning the 17th-century palazzo turned hotel to its original glory, while layering in design elements inspired by the golden age of train travel. Thanks to a restored glass ceiling, the lobby lounge feels like a winter garden, but come sunset, people flock to the rooftop bar and restaurant for creative cocktails with a bird’s-eye view of the Pantheon.
The First Musica Rome, by The Pavilions Hotels & Resorts
Prati
You won’t find any centuries-old architecture here. Instead, there’s modern design and a rooftop restaurant and cocktail bar with Tiber River views. The 24 rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, marble bathrooms and high-quality speakers, while the on-site restaurant, Alto, serves a seafood-focused menu by the former sous-chef of Acquolina, the award-winning restaurant at The First Musica’s sister property just off Piazza del Popolo.
Casa Monti
Monti
Artsy, bohemian Monti—the neighborhood just uphill from the Colosseum and Roman Forum—is a favorite among Rome insiders, but it hasn’t had a luxury boutique hotel until now. Casa Monti may draw you in with its whimsical, colorful design, but it’s the warm, friendly staff who will keep you coming back. Ask them how they created the tasty original cocktails at the rooftop bar, let them guide you through the restaurant’s traditional Italian menu or ask for insider tips about the neighborhood’s artisan boutiques.
Palazzo Talìa
Trevi
Just far enough from the Trevi Fountain to be free from the crowds, this 26-room hotel in a 16th-century building draws aesthetes and stylish locals keen to appreciate the chic design choices from Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino’s studio. Join them for martinis at the on-site Bar della Musa, where mirrored tiles reflect the colors of the original ceiling frescoes, or in the verdant courtyard filled with potted palms. Then, head upstairs for a photo op in the great hall, where boxy pink armchairs and custom rugs provide a striking contrast to the classical architecture and antique marble busts.
Nobu Hotel Roma
Ludovisi
The spiritual home of la dolce vita, Via Veneto got an overdue injection of star power when Nobu opened its first Italian property here in late 2025. For travelers and Romans alike, the hotel and its namesake restaurant also bring the kind of upscale Japanese style that was sorely lacking in the Italian capital. Minimalist rooms feature a soothing black-and-white color palette, while the ground-floor restaurant plays the hits with yellowtail sashimi, rock-shrimp tempura and, of course, miso black cod. There’s also a subterranean spa, complete with a large indoor whirlpool.
