Rome may be an ancient city, but its hotel scene is as up-to-date as it benefits the capital of Italy. The city’s options span an eclectic mix of design, glamor, and all-out Italian inspiration: A high-minded hostel that’s halfway to being a hotel, the opportunity to bed down in a former monastery, a couple of private penthouse residences with discrete, as-you-please service, and plenty of blow-out luxury accommodations, from art-filled villas to sleek new brand-names. To help you get started, we’ve rounded up the best hotels in Rome, whether you’re seeking the best view of the Eternal City or a high-end hostel. Here are our favorite places to stay, to bookmark for your next trip.
How we choose the best hotels in Rome
Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveler journalist who knows the destination and has visited that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider properties across price points that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination, keeping design, location, service, and sustainability credentials top of mind.
