The 15 Best Luxury Hotels in Rome (2026)

The grand hotels: the Spanish Steps and Via Veneto. These five are the classic Roman luxury hotels, all in the streets around the top and bottom of the Spanish Steps, with line A of the Metro (subway) close by. Hotel de Russie is the best all-rounder. It's a Rocco Forte five-star on Via del Babuino, between Piazza del Popolo (about two minutes' walk) and the Spanish Steps (about ten), and its secret weapon is the terraced garden behind it, laid out in the 19th century by Giuseppe Valadier. The Stravinskij Bar opens onto it, and there's a spa. Roma Capitale's register lists 121 rooms. It's also our pick for the best hotel in Rome overall.

It suits a first luxury trip, couples, and anyone who wants calm without being far from the shops and the sights. The catch is the price: for Tuesday 19 January 2027 a Superior Room was €2,330 room only on the flexible rate, the highest on this page, with city tax extra. And the bar is open to non-guests too, with cocktails mostly €26 (see our best bars in Rome). Ask for a room facing the garden rather than Via del Babuino.

Hotel Hassler Roma is the famous one: a five-star at the very top of the Spanish Steps, next to the church of Trinità dei Monti, with 82 rooms, panoramic terraces and the Michelin-starred Imàgo restaurant on the top floor (it's on our Michelin restaurants page). Spagna station (line A) is at the bottom of the steps. Book it for the view and the address: nothing else in Rome sits quite like it.

The entry Deluxe room is 28 square metres with a city or garden view, and for Tuesday 19 January 2027 it was €1,209 prepaid and non-refundable before taxes and fees, or €1,343 on the flexible rate, with city tax extra. Note that it's quoted before taxes and fees, for one of the smaller rooms. The hotel's Il Palazzetto, a separate building beside the steps, has a few rooms that look straight onto them.

Hotel de la Ville is the de Russie's sister, also run by Rocco Forte, in an 18th-century palazzo on Via Sistina a few steps from the top of the Spanish Steps. It's a five-star with a spa and 103 rooms in Roma Capitale's register, and Spagna station is about two minutes' walk.

It suits couples and friends who want the Spanish Steps location with a modern hotel inside it. The catch: Via Sistina is a through street, so ask for a quiet room. For Tuesday 19 January 2027 a Superior Room was €1,420 room only on the flexible rate, city tax extra.

Hotel Eden is the Dorchester Collection's Rome hotel, on Via Ludovisi between the Spanish Steps (about six minutes' walk) and Via Veneto. It's a five-star with 98 rooms in Roma Capitale's register; the Classic rooms are 28 to 35 square metres with high ceilings and tall windows, which is generous for central Rome. On the roof, La Terrazza holds a Michelin star in the 2026 guide and the Il Giardino bar has the view (it's on our rooftop bars page).

It suits people who want a classic five-star with a Michelin-starred restaurant, and it offers flexible check-in and check-out. The catch: it's up the hill from the old centre, so evenings out mean a walk down to the Spanish Steps or the Trevi Fountain. For Tuesday 19 January 2027 a Classic Room was €960 room only on the Plan in Advance rate, before taxes, with city tax extra.

Hotel Splendide Royal is the view hotel at the top of Via Veneto, on Via di Porta Pinciana by the Villa Borghese gardens. It's a five-star with 68 rooms in Roma Capitale's register, decorated in a traditional Roman style of marble, parquet and old paintings, and its restaurant is in the roof garden on the eighth floor, with a panorama from Trinità dei Monti to St Peter's. Spagna station is about five minutes' walk, and the Borghese Gallery is a walk through the park.

It suits couples and anyone who likes a classic, ornate hotel. The catch: the style is ornate and traditional rather than modern, and no rate is shown here for Tuesday 19 January 2027; check your dates on its own site.

The new palazzo hotels: the old centre. Rome has had a wave of new luxury openings in historic buildings, and these five are the ones in the old centre, a short walk from the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain. Bvlgari Hotel Roma is on Piazza Augusto Imperatore in a 1940s building looking over the Mausoleum of Augustus. It has 106 rooms and suites, a 1,500-square-metre spa with a pool, a bar and Il Ristorante – Niko Romito on the fifth floor. Piazza del Popolo is about seven minutes' walk and the Spanish Steps about eight.

It suits design lovers and anyone who wants a big modern spa in the middle of town. The catch is the price: no rate is shown here for Tuesday 19 January 2027, so check your dates on the hotel's own site. Ask for a room facing the mausoleum.

Six Senses Rome is on Piazza di San Marcello, just off Via del Corso, about four minutes' walk from the Trevi Fountain and six from the Pantheon. It has 96 rooms and suites with courtyard or city views, a spa built around a Roman-style bathhouse, the BIVIUM restaurant and café, and NOTOS on the roof. Travel + Leisure put it on its 2024 It List of new hotels, as the hotel's site notes.

It suits wellness-minded couples and anyone who wants to walk to the Trevi, the Pantheon and the Spanish Steps. The catch: Via del Corso is a busy shopping street, so ask for a courtyard room if you sleep lightly. For Tuesday 19 January 2027 a Deluxe room was €1,368 with breakfast and free cancellation, city tax extra.

Corinthia Rome is one of the newest grand hotels in Rome, in a palazzo on Piazza del Parlamento that was long a stronghold of the Bank of Italy. It has 60 rooms, including 18 suites and three penthouses, with the restaurants run by the Michelin-starred chef Carlo Cracco (Viride, the courtyard Piazzetta and the Ocra bar), and a spa in the old bank vault. The Trevi Fountain is about seven minutes' walk and the Pantheon about eight.

For Tuesday 19 January 2027 a Classic Room of 25 to 29 square metres was €1,170 room only on the advance-purchase rate, VAT included, or €1,434 with breakfast and free cancellation, with city tax on top. It's new, so it has only a few dozen Google reviews so far; that's the catch for anyone who likes a track record. It suits food lovers and couples who want the newest address.

Orient Express La Minerva is a 17th-century palace on Piazza della Minerva, about two minutes' walk from the Pantheon, redesigned by the architect Hugo Toro in an Art Deco style. It has a rooftop restaurant and bar seven storeys above the square and a spa inspired by the hammam. Roma Capitale's register lists it as a five-star with 93 rooms.

The Classic Room is 25 square metres with a king bed, and for Tuesday 19 January 2027 it was €1,147.50 with breakfast, non-refundable, city tax extra. It suits couples who want the Pantheon and Piazza Navona on foot. The catch: the square in front, with Bernini's elephant and Santa Maria sopra Minerva, is on every walking tour, and there's no Metro nearby.

The Rome EDITION is Ian Schrager's hotel on a side street between Via Veneto and Piazza Barberini, with 74 rooms, 17 suites and two penthouse suites, three bars, a courtyard garden, and a rooftop bar and pool. Barberini station (line A) is about four minutes' walk, and the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain are about 11 to 13 minutes on foot.

It suits design lovers who want bars and a rooftop in the hotel. The catch: it's a hotel built around its three bars, and the rooftop is seasonal: The Roof bar is marked closed for the winter, and the pool is outdoors, so ask before booking a winter trip. No rate is shown here for Tuesday 19 January 2027; check your dates on its own site.

Nobu Hotel Roma is on Via Veneto, the street of La Dolce Vita, with 117 rooms and suites, a Nobu restaurant, a rooftop bar and the Mizu Urban Spa (six treatment rooms, a sauna and a Turkish bath). Barberini station is about eight minutes' walk down Via Veneto, and the Villa Borghese gardens are at the top of the street.

It's the cheapest entry price on this page: for Tuesday 19 January 2027 a 30-square-metre Classic Room was €506 room only on an advance-purchase rate, taxes and fees included, city tax extra. The catch: Via Veneto is a walk uphill from the old centre. It suits food lovers and anyone who wants a luxury hotel at well under Spanish Steps prices.

The classics by Piazza della Repubblica. Two big, formal hotels on the Termini side of the centre, handy for the airport train and line A. The St. Regis Rome is the grand dame: Marriott's pages date it to 1894 and credit César Ritz as its founder, and its frescoed Ritz Ballroom is still the showpiece. It's a five-star with 161 rooms in Roma Capitale's register, about four minutes' walk from Repubblica station.

It suits travellers who want old-school grandeur and an easy arrival by train. The catch is the location on the Termini side of the centre: the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain are each about a 17-minute walk. No rate is shown here for Tuesday 19 January 2027; check your dates on Marriott's site.

Anantara Palazzo Naiadi fills a crescent-shaped 19th-century palazzo on Piazza della Repubblica, built over the ruins of the Baths of Diocletian, and some of its meeting rooms sit above the excavations. With 232 rooms it's the biggest hotel on this page. It lists a swimming pool, a spa and a rooftop among its facilities, and Repubblica station is at the door.

It suits families and groups who want space and transport on the doorstep; the rooftop pool is closed from 5 October 2026 until summer 2027, the hotel says, so it's no pool pick this winter. The catch: with 232 rooms it's a big hotel rather than an intimate one, and the square is a road junction; pay for a room overlooking the baths. For Tuesday 19 January 2027 a 34-square-metre Premium Room was €537 with breakfast, non-refundable, with the city tax included.

With gardens and pools: away from the centre. Two hotels that trade the walk to the sights for space. Rome Cavalieri is the resort: a Waldorf Astoria hotel in a private park on Monte Mario, the hill above the Vatican, with outdoor pools, an indoor pool in its spa, an art collection and La Pergola, Heinz Beck's restaurant and the only one in Rome with three Michelin stars (see our Michelin restaurants page). The views back over the city are the reason to stay.

The catch is distance: St Peter's Square is over half an hour on foot, so you'll rely on the hotel's shuttle bus to Via Bissolati, near Via Veneto, or taxis. And the outdoor pools open only in the warmer months; the hotel says they're closed in late autumn and winter. It suits families and couples who want a summer resort with the city an outing away. One more thing: the hotel announced a phased renovation of all its rooms and suites, designed by Tihany Design, with the hotel staying open and the first renovated rooms due in late spring 2027. Hilton's site showed no rooms for Tuesday 19 January 2027, so check your dates and ask which rooms are affected.

Villa Agrippina Gran Meliá is a five-star on the slope of the Janiculum hill between the Vatican and Trastevere, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, with Mediterranean gardens, an outdoor pool and views of Castel Sant'Angelo and the Tiber. St Peter's Square is about eight minutes' walk, which makes it the luxury pick for an early start at the Vatican Museums.

It suits families and couples who want a pool in summer and a quieter base. The catch: it's across the river from the old centre, so the Pantheon and Piazza Navona are a longer walk, and no rate is shown here for Tuesday 19 January 2027; check your dates on its own site. For a special occasion, its top suites have terraces with hot tubs looking at St Peter's dome.
