      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 Corinthia Rome, which turned the former Bank of Italy building into one of the city’s most luxurious new hotels. Don’t miss it, along with these other inspired stays in a city already known for its impeccable taste.

       

      Six Senses Rome

      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

      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.

      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.

       

      Bvlgari Hotel Roma
      Campo Marzio

      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.

      Corinthia Rome

      For its first foray into Italy, Corinthia has opened a Rome property that feels every bit as storied as the city itself. Occupying a neoclassical palazzo that was once the Bank of Italy, the hotel enjoys a prime location in the central historic district, just a short walk from landmarks like the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. With just 60 rooms and suites, the feel is especially intimate; each one blends modern comforts (designer linens, marble bathrooms) with thoughtful touches (a curated selection of books), and one even has original frescoes. Led by celebrity chef Carlo Cracco, dining options range from traditional Roman dishes at the all-day Piazzetta in the hotel’s peaceful inner courtyard, to a 10-course tasting menu at fine-dining restaurant Viride. There’s also the stunning Ocra bar, set under a gold-leaf ceiling. But perhaps the most theatrical space of all lies underground: The spa, set in the former bank vault, features mosaic floors and treatments inspired by ancient Roman bathing rituals.

      ROMEO Roma
      Campo Marzio

      ROMEO Roma pulls off a genuinely unlikely feat: marrying the gravitas of Renaissance architecture with the design language of the late architect Zaha Hadid. The hotel occupies a 16th-century palazzo near Piazza del Popolo, but interiors feature vaulted ceilings and Hadid’s signature curved lines, lending the property an almost otherworldly feel. In some rooms and suites, sculptural details even share space with original 17th-century frescoes—a reminder that beneath all the architectural drama, this is still, unmistakably, Rome. The stars of the hotel’s food-and-beverage program are a fine-dining restaurant from renowned chef Alain Ducasse and a rooftop champagne bar run in partnership with Maison Krug. The Sisley Paris spa is another standout, with its glass-bottomed indoor-outdoor pool that overlooks ancient Roman ruins. ROMEO may command some of the highest room rates in the city, but for those seeking a hotel that’s as much a design statement as a place to stay, it makes a compelling case for every last euro.

      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.

      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.
