5 design luxury hotels Rome has to offer

Rome is a very large city, as well as the first metropolis in the entire West; as such, it holds among its streets many shining examples of high-end hôtelière.

In addition to the quality of the services offered, the selection we propose has favored the superb aesthetic approach taken by the hotels management in handling the interior design and, in general, in the great attention paid to aesthetics and comfort.

In short, these are 5 luxury design hotels that Rome proudly preserves as “living” examples of the centuries-old artistic culture in Italy.

Design luxury hotels in Rome: the Historic Centre and its wonders

The historic center of Rome has been included among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites thanks to some of the most famous artistic treasures both in Italy and around the world, such as the Colosseum or the Trevi Fountain.

Only the best design luxury hotels in Rome can be found in this oldest and most prestigious part of the city.

The Westin Excelsior Rome

The Westin Excelsior Rome is one of the leading luxury design hotels Rome has to offer.
So prestigious that it even made an “appearance” in Fellini’s La Dolce Vita, as well as hosting the entire cast of Wyler’s Ben-Hur in 1959.

The hotel’s flagship suite, probably one of the most expensive suites in the entire world, is undoubtedly the so-called Villa La Cupola, located under the building’s peculiar dome and consisting of no less than two floors, the fifth and sixth.

Villa La Cupola features  as many as seven bedrooms, a cinema, hand-painted frescoes and high-end made-in-Italy furniture by Giorgetti.
With such a rococo mood, Giorgetti‘s soft, modern approach is perfect to counterbalance the architecture of the interior, and its oh-so-sophisticated forms.
Pieces such as the HUG armchairs and the VITTORIA sofa are distinguished by their soft, cozy lines that provide maximum comfort for a living room worthy of a movie star.

And if on your return from your tour of the city you feel like relaxing a bit before heading straight back to the hotel, right on the Spanish Steps is Babington’s Tea Room, one of the most beautiful and exclusive historic venues in the entire capital.

Bulgari Hotels Roma

Bulgari Hotel & Resorts is a leading name in luxury tourism and has hotels in the most renowned metropolises, both in the West and the East: Tokyo, Shanghai, Dubai but also London, Paris and, of course, Rome.

The Bulgari Hotel Roma is wonderfully set in Piazza Augusto Imperatore, named after the nearby Mausoleum of Augustus, heir of Julius Caesar and first emperor of Rome.
Truly a location fit for royalty.

And for a view worthy of a king, or better an emperor, the Bulgari Suite overlooks the very Mausoleum of Augustus, a privileged vantage point that we Italians would be tempted to call a “belvedere“.

For the interiors, some of the best Made in Italy luxury furniture brands were selected, including Flexform, Maxalto and Agapecasa.
Walking through the Bulgari Suite, beauty and history can almost be breathed in; a refuge from everyday’s  hustle and bustle in the heart of the Eternal City.

Among luxury design hotels in Rome, the Bulgari is undoubtedly one of the most renowned.

If you are a history buff or have a fascination with the Roman Empire, Piazza Augusto Imperatore is home to the Ara Pacis Museum, which houses the Altar of Victory built during Augustus’s reign and which gives the museum its name; in addition to this, the museum often hosts temporary exhibitions.

Design luxury hotels in Rome near the “shopping area”

From Piazza di Spagna to Piazza Mignanelli, from Via Condotti to Via del Corso, the shopping area of Rome is truly a “must-see” for anyone who happens to be in Rome.

From haute couture to jewelry, the city’s streets where the main shopping destinations, both luxury and non-luxury, are concentrated, fulfill the desires of tourists from all over the world.
No wonder then that some of Rome’s best design luxury hotels are located in this area.

Royal Suite of Via dei Condotti

Royal Suite Roma stands as a benchmark in Italy for luxury tourism, not only for its lavish  apartments scattered throughout the city but for its “full service” approach to hospitality, taking care of you from the moment you arrive at the airport to the moment you leave.

For the Royal Suites in one of the “shopping streets”, Via Condotti, the furniture brand Turri was selected, with its Caractere, Couture and Orion collections; the ideal furnishings to compose the art deco atmosphere of a high-end apartment.
In particular, Caractere and Couture were chosen to furnish the bedrooms.

With skillful handling of the brown and gold palette, the designer apartment becomes synonymous with an ultra-exclusive lifestyle, thanks to a mood that conveys relaxation and self-confidence.
The only thing missing is maybe a bit of music, perhaps a jazz piece, to crown the experience of a luxury vacation in the heart of Rome.

As for the shopping itself, you are spoiled for choice: Gucci, Dior, Hermes, Armani, Saint Laurent, Jimmy Choo, La Perla, Prada etc.
In short, whatever your or your partner’s heart may desire.

Six Senses Rome

In the panorama of design luxury hotels that Rome hosts among its streets, the first Italian headquarters of Six Senses, the luxury urban hotel chain, stands out.

Designer and architect Patricia Urquiola, whose resumè boasts projects for major luxury brands such as Agapecasa and B&B Italia but also Louis Vuitton and BMW, was called in for the occasion.

For Six Senses Rome, Patricia elaborated a concept of “surprise effect“, representing the pleasant estrangement that welcomes you when you cross the threshold of the lobby, and selecting among others the Italian luxury brand Cassina.
An estrangement achieved through a careful balance between classic and modern, continuously dialoguing with the aesthetics and culture of Rome, through the mosaic floors or through the cocciopesto of the walls, reminiscent of ancient colonnades.

Finally, a touch of greenery and life, given by the plants, to give breathing space and create a mood of quietness, almost dreamlike.
Six Senses is located in Piazza San Marcello, very close to the Church of San Marcello al Corso.

Also, don’t let the relatively modest size fool you, the Church of San Marcello al Corso is a true jewel of Baroque architecture.

Fendi Private Suites

It is no surprise that the Rome headquarters of Fendi Private Suites is located right in the shopping area.
Deluxe Suite 3, designed by FENDI Casa architects, is almost a design museum about the history of FENDI.

The floor is made of the finest oak, while the shower is embellished with authentic Italian marble, as well as the porcelain of the two separate washbasins.
Of course, all the furniture is signed by FENDI Casa.
In addition, Deluxe Suite 3 has a particularly privileged vantage point over the city center, overlooking both Via del Corso and Via Tomacelli.
Therefore,  it can count on superb lighting that dances masterfully over the surface of the wood and the texture of the curtains and bedding, also signed by the maison.

One last recommendation on where to go for lunch or dinner.
Just a few steps from the hotel, in Piazza della Trinità dei Monti, there is a well-known gourmet restaurant: the Imàgo, haute Italian cuisine awarded a Michelin Star.
