“First Luxury is First Rate”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

My husband and I chose this hotel after seeing it featured on a new Conde Nast list -- it is one of only two hotels in Rome noted. This being our first trip to Rome, I wanted a prime, safe location for our 8-day stay and the chic pictures and modern flair fit the bill. I booked our reservation on Expedia for two separate stays as we considered another location. After some confusion at check-in, we were especially grateful as they upgraded us to a gorgeous suite with a sitting room, terrace and beautiful marble bathroom. We were grateful to staff, especially Meriem, as she went above and beyond for us to make our visit exceptional. The hotel was within walking distance to prime shopping, the Vatican, the Borghese gardens and the Spanish Steps. Each day it was a comfort to return to the comfortable and modern hotel after seeing the city. I would recommend the hotel car from the airport to make the trip seamless.

Room Tip: The suite had two tvs, which was nice for watching the Olympics.

“Clean and Modern..,”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

I stayed for one night at this hotel and was impressed by the friendliness of the staff, good service, and the nice size of the rooms. I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy the wine tasting event. The location is pretty accessible to the shopping and sights and takes about 5 to 10 minute walk. This Hotel is a great contrast for Rome as it will give you something different than the ancient surroundings.

“Excellent Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

We stayed for two nights in late October, 2012, and could not have picked a better place. The check in experience itself was superb. The room, restaurant and hotel is first rate in every way. The hotel is on a little side street very near the Via Del Corso and in easy walking distance of lots of restaurants, shops and sites (such as the Spanish Steps). There is also a great roof top bar with a beautiful view. Unlike some hotel roof top bars, it was not crowded at all. We will definitely stay here again.

“Very good stylish hotel. Top class staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

We went this December 12 for a long week-end. Hotel re-opened in 2011, stylish and modern. Room and bathroom are big enough and well decorated. Staff is at top level, always there to be nice and useful. Sad that the weather did not allow us to enjoy the terrasse beautiful view. Position is great, a walk from historical places (you would tell me they are everywhere in Rome). Very good Ad Hoc restaurant is just in front the hotel. We recommend.

“Chic and central”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

A chic, modern hotel within walking distance of all the major sights. Upgrade to an Art Suite if you can, a lovely large room. Special thanks to Dario, Meriem and Daniele for all their help with restaurant and tour recommendations (the restaurant Il Brillo Parlante round the corner was a great call, good no-nonsense Italian food at a reasonable price). Will definitely return.
