Rome is a city where greatness never quite runs out – and its luxury hotels carry that legacy with uncompromising standards, personal service and addresses right in the historic heart. You might find yourself in a refined palazzo looking out over domes and piazzas, strolling to iconic landmarks and ending the evening on a rooftop terrace under an open sky. Our selection brings together properties that combine genuine Italian hospitality with international polish: bespoke experiences, restaurants of the highest order and spas that draw on the ancient tradition of Roman bathing. For those seeking the very best of Rome, these hotels offer a stage for the good life – where every detail is carefully attended to and expectations are quietly exceeded.

Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards We focus on consistently five-star hotels and properties that meet strict, independent quality criteria. Recognition from Forbes Travel Guide carries significant weight, as do editorial listings from Condé Nast Traveller and other well-regarded sources. Guest reviews and sustained consistency over time are both considered, to ensure standards hold up throughout the year.
Distinguishing features We highlight hotels that offer something genuinely above and beyond: rooftop terraces with rare views, notable bars and restaurants with serious culinary ambitions, artistically driven spa concepts and signature experiences such as private after-hours tours, tailor-made itineraries and butler service. Standout examples include La Terrazza and Il Giardino at Hotel Eden, Imàgo at the Hassler and the culinary signature of Niko Romito at Bvlgari Hotel Roma.
Location and surroundings A property's location should offer generous access to Rome's most iconic neighbourhoods – the Spanish Steps, Piazza del Popolo, Via Veneto, and the Navona–Pantheon area – along with easy connections to the city's sights and restaurants. We look at how walkable a property is, its proximity to culture and the cityscape, and whether it offers quiet retreats – courtyards, gardens, rooftops – in the midst of it all.
Frequently Asked Questions

Six to twelve months ahead is sensible for the most popular properties, particularly around Easter, major public holidays and events connected with the Jubilee year.
It tends to be discreet, personal and proactive – a concierge who tailors experiences to you rather than offering off-the-shelf suggestions, with butler service available at select properties.
Several, yes. Highlights include La Terrazza and Il Giardino at Hotel Eden, and the Bvlgari Bar and La Terrazza at Bvlgari Hotel Roma.
Impressively broad: Roman bathing rituals, vitality pools and generous indoor pools. Six Senses Rome offers a contemporary take on the ancient bathing sequence.
Much like other major cities, rates in Rome are driven largely by what is happening in the city at any given time rather than by season alone. Prices spike around major religious holidays and events, particularly near the Vatican. As a general rule, April through June, September, October and early November tend to be the most expensive periods – but if you want to find better value, it is worth checking the calendar before you book rather than simply targeting a particular time of year.
