Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 5 September 2026 · How we review hotels
Set just off Piazza Navona, Hotel Raphaël pairs the intimacy of a historic Roman palazzo with design touches from architect Richard Meier and Bulgari-appointed bathrooms. Its rooftop terrace, framing views from St. Peter's to the Pantheon, makes it a fitting base for travelers seeking a centrally located stay with a distinct sense of place rather than a standard chain experience.
Guests score it 9.4 out of 10 — the average across the 19 hotels we list in Rome is 9.2.
What Guests Loved
- Tucked one street from Piazza Navona, the hotel places guests within easy walking distance of Rome's historic center, including the Pantheon and major dining streets.
- The rooftop terrace offers sweeping views stretching from St. Peter's Basilica to the Pantheon, making it a distinctive spot for morning coffee or evening drinks.
Things to Consider
- The morning meal is described as abundant continental fare rather than a full hot buffet, which may not suit guests expecting extensive cooked options.
- Being embedded in Rome's pedestrian-heavy historic core means on-site or nearby parking can be limited, so arriving by car may require advance planning.
