Travelers' Choice
Overlooking the panorama that has inspired visitors for centuries is Rome's most prestigious address – the Rome Cavalieri hotel. Though only minutes from the city's great monuments, the Rome Cavalieri has the tranquility of an oasis. Enclosed in fifteen acres of lush Mediterranean parklands, this luxury hotel is a calm retreat in the heart of the Eternal City, an elegant refuge where time slows and hearts quicken.The first hotel in Europe to be part of the exclusive Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, the Rome Cavalieri hotel is more than just a 5–star property. It's the pre-eminent luxury hotel in Rome, with an art collection that outshines many museums, a Grand Spa that would be the envy of a prestige health resort, and standards of luxury that set it apart from other Rome hotels. The Rome Cavalieri brings new meaning to notions of Italian style, and new purpose to the fine art of exclusive hospitality.

The Rome Cavalieri has to be one of the most gorgeous hotels on this earth. From the moment one enters this beautiful property, you are entering paradise. I was warmly welcomed by Paolo whose customer service was outstanding! He was so genuine and sincere-it is evident that he is there to ensure his customer has an outstanding stay. I was then brought to my room,which was beautiful beyond words. And then, the pool and the turkish bath. There are just not enough words to describe the beauty! Azad at the pool was so incredibly helpful. I could have stayed at the beautiful pool forever! Sadly, I could only stay one day, and I was in need of information at the concierge desk-Matteo and Anna were so helpful-they answered my questions and were so genuinely helpful with their outstanding service. I absolutely adore this Hilton property, and will continue to save all my points for this amazing hotel. Thank you to all the amazing staff who make this hotel so very special, and truly one of the most beautiful hotels on this earth.

Hotel's Favorite
This hotel always feels like coming home. My first visit was back in 1996 when my airline used this as a crew hotel. I wasn’t able to come back on a private trip until years after that but these past years we have tried to make it an annual happening. Everything here runs smooth and seamless. However there are a few things I would like to put my finger at: -water. It seems like a scarcity at the hotel (and of course it’s not). You are given two tiny bottles every day, one carbonated and one not. I mean, this is a five star hotel. Give us enough water. Put one at each night stand at turn-down service. Don’t be stingy with the water. It lowers the feeling of luxury. -prices for soft drinks/water by the pool. 330 ml cans of water is all they have and they are 4 euros while a glass (filled up with so much ice that it is probably only 100 ml coke in it) costs a whopping 8 euros. -groups. Beware that the hotel is widely used for conferences of all sorts. Usually that means it’s filled up with Americans. In itself that’s not bad as most Americans are polite and sweet but a few can also be very loud and “entitled”. Like two young champagne drinking girls in desperate need for attention decided to do their tik-tok dance in between the pool bar and the bar in the skimpiest bikinis and no one took action to tell them no even it was very inappropriate at this kind of establishment and many guests reacted. -the hotel has some sort of day pass to locals. Fine but when anyone can purchase it it also makes way for some “loose birds” of the city. We ended up being “next door” pool neighbors to someone who had obviously received a beating, dirty and tacky. These days we should be so accepting but we did not feel safe leaving our belongings entering the pool. The perfect part: Room. Nice in perfect condition. Every time. Breakfast is very nice. Service is great. Room service polite and quick. House keeping never knocks on your door if you forget the “do not disturb”. They always do their job almost invisibly. Pool attendants are very attentive. So are the bar staff. Everything here is just great. My mentioned issues are minor. Apart from water. Fix the water. And ps. They are not very good at upgrading Hilton Honours gold even when there is availability. Ps2. Get the imperial room upgrade. It’s worth paying for.

We had stayed here last year and came back again as it had been so good. They gave us the same room we had on our first visit which weas brilliant. The imperial floor with Rome view rooms are amazing. You are higher up and have a really god view. The staff in the imperial lounge could not be more helpful. One looked up a church as we had said were we were going so she showed us another church to look at which we did not know about. The spa pool is fantastic for a nice bit of quiet and relaxing at the end of a day! When we were there they had a convention of surgeons which were coming from everywhere. The staff did an amazing job of making everything work for the normal guests so they could have breakfast/dinner etc without any problems. It was amazingly well planned. The food in the normal restaurant for breakfast or dinner is fantastic. The shrimp spaghetti is really good!! The staff go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable and try to make sure you enjoy your time there.

I stayed here in August of 2023 with my husband and two daughters for a quick overnight before we flew out of Rome at the end of our vacation. I wanted a hotel with a pool and this is an iconic Rome spot so I was excited to give it a try. The service was solid but the facilities are a bit dated - I get that the style is very classic Roman and I like that - but it just felt like it needs an overhaul and things are a bit run down. Its a large hotel and was crowded which is fine but the crowd was a bit odd. It seemed like a huge group of American mid westerners had taken over the entire place (I am from the US so I can't really complain lol but they seemed a bit cheesy and loud everywhere I went) We spent the afternoon at the pool and it was mobbed with tacky people vaping and just wasn't our scene. We ordered room service because we were wiped out from our long vacation and wanted to relax and the food was terrible. By far the worst meal I had the 10 days I was in Italy so that was a bummer that my last meal involved stale bread and really mediocre cheese. The meal felt like it was right out of a US supermarket. If you are looking for a 5 star experience like I was this was definitely not it - I think sadly this place needs an update and is passed its prime.

I visited this hotel for the first time more than 20 years ago (was attending conference at that time) and since then did fall in love with Rome Cavalieri, so did stay several times when I was Rome including several big meetings we organized there. Thus, no wonders that this time when we finally decided to have family break and bring our children with us to Rome we didn’t think long to choose place to stay, choice was evident 😊. As I already wrote in my previous review of the property several years ago, being quite ordinary 50'-60s building outside, hotels is real gem inside – holding one of the biggest collections of art among hotels in the World (all hotel pieces of art are being purchased at well-known auctions like Sotheby’s and Christie’s) it’s real art gallery, where famous pieces of art are accompanied by luxury interiors and top notch service. Some art pieces are standing apart (e.g. huge floor to ceiling Tiepolo triptych in the lobby which was at a time most expensive lot at one of big auctions). Pieces of art are really everywhere not only in lobby and restaurants, however also in hallways, and spaces near elevators and some of the hotel Suites (e.g. writing desk which did belong to Napoleon in Napoleon Suite - which this time we were really lucky to see). These are not only paintings and sculptures, however also tapestry, ancient furniture and clocks and even costumes of famous people (e.g. on Imperial floor they have authentic costumes of famous Rudolf Nureyev from the ballets where he played). Once entering hotel you would not like to leave it. So no wonder that since the time we stepped into the hotel’s lobby our children did admire the hotel – first thing they told us – is that they actually do not want to go and see Rome they rather would stay at the hotel premises enjoying all what Cavalieri can offer – I think you can hardly ask for better assessment of the hotel – as children always saying the truth 😉 This time we did stay in 2 adjacent rooms on the Imperial Floor. For Imperial floor guests they do have separate nice and intimate check-in area and whole process was fast and efficient with glasses of prosecco offered to us and juices to our sons while we were waiting. After check-in we were guided to our rooms. Imperial floors are 7th and 8th (you need special card in the elevator to be able to access these 2 floors) and our rooms were on 7th floor very close to Imperial Club lounge which was very convenient. Rooms were huge in size, with extra comfy king-size bed in our room and 2 separate twin beds for our children, separate seating area, big bathroom with luxury bath amenities (recently they switched from Salvatore Ferragamo to Aqua di Parma), fluffy bathrobes and comfy sleepers. Rooms were mainly in light yellow colors, adding brightness to already airy and big room, with high-quality wooden furniture in very good state and in bathrooms all is in marble. Every room also has very interesting feature which is quite unique to this hotel - there is a mirror on the wall in the room corridor, which is in fact second door, which can be closed to make room itself completely sound-proof from main corridor of the floor – very nice touch. Overall, room indeed provides the luxurious feeling and is inviting you to relax. However, room description would be not full without mentioning the balcony - or I would rather say big terrace equipped with table and armchairs and providing absolutely GORGEOUS views of the whole Rome (it’s an additional charge for rooms overlooking Rome, however it is really worth it). Because of the hotel location (on the highest hill of Rome) and high floor (7th and 8th are highest leaving floors, on 9th only restaurants and terraces are located) the view is really breathtaking - you have absolutely uninterrupted Rome view including if you are lucky (depending of room location on the floor) dome of St. Peters Cathedral. As I already mentioned they do have Imperial Club lounge and all guests of Imperial floor can enjoy its services. Prior to COVID times it was open from 7 AM to 11 PM, this year when we stayed it was closing a bit earlier, serving: buffet breakfast, afternoon snack, Tea time, and then Dinner snack and drinks in the evening). I've been to many hotels’ executive lounges all over the world - and to be short Cavalieri's is definitely up among the best! Wide variety of food at all servings, high quality products matched with impeccable service in the classic setting surrounded by real pieces of art, making Lounge experience really unforgettable. Lounge has several balconies overlooking Rome and it is very nice to spend some evening hours there with wonderful views. Also included in Imperial room rate is use of SPA and indoor swimming pool, in previous stays we never used indoor pool as always did stay in warm months, however as this time we stayed in January – indoor pool was one of the hits for our children. It is located on lowest level of the hotel (along with SPA) and can be easily reached via all main elevators. Pool is quite big in size in classic setting with zone of jacuzzi and small waterfall, it also has HUGE real fireplace with big glass front door so you can admire works of fire while swimming and relaxing in one of the lounges – really great experience. This year I also used their gym (located on the same level as indoor pool) it is well-equipped with modern facilities and has good air-conditioning, so really joy for morning or evening workouts. Coming to the food and drinks - we did try breakfast both in the Lounge and in the main restaurant – both did have nice variety of high-quality products and so anyone can find smth to the taste. Drinks served in Lounge and in the lobby are of highest quality as well with nice presentation. One other thing worth mentioning – is that hotel has really very big territory (I would even say huge by Rome standards) – impeccably clean and well-manicured park where they have 2 swimming pools (one really big and another smaller one with more intimate atmosphere) with a lot of places to relax and dine outside in warm months – so outdoor space is real gem for month from May to Sep when outdoor facilities are open. To finish few more words about location – hotel is on the hill 20-25 minutes’ walk from Vatican, at the same time they also provide hourly free shuttle bus service to the Centre of Rome - which is very convenient option (shuttle operates from 8.30 till 21.00). WiFi is free throughout the hotel and of very good quality. Hotel is spotlessly clean. Staff always was very helpful, friendly and efficient. Wanted to say separate huge thanks to Alessandra Mezzanotte, who helped us with booking and throughout our whole stay – she is great personality and very professional, always willing to go extra mile to please hotel guests – just exemplifying excellent service. Summarizing, we did really enjoy our stay and didn’t want to leave this wonderful and inspiring place. We will be very much looking forward to return yet again and can highly recommend Rome Cavalieri for anyone searching for unforgettable luxurious experience in Eternal City.

My wife and I visited the Rome Cavaliere in mid September. The hotel is beautiful and you feel like royalty. My two biggest complaints are the cost of drinks at the hotel and the location. The location is not walkable and quite far from some of the attractions. The hotel offers a free shuttle which takes you into the heart of Rome. This is wonderful and great if you have an open itinerary. We didn’t get to really use this service as we needed to get to certain parts of the city at certain times, leaving us with taxi service. Requesting a taxi is extremely easy and very fast. You almost always had a taxi within 30 seconds to a minute. The problem was it would cost us about €15-25 one way every time we wanted to go somewhere. The second complaint is the cost of food and drinks here. The cost is in line with most luxury hotels but it made it had to justify when there are so many places in the city that are more than 50% cheaper. The lack of walkability forced you to buy an expensive drink or food if you didn’t want to go anywhere far. Despite this the food and drink that we did get were very good. Now for the good. The rooms were huge and had a sound proof wall that would extend. This worked great to drown out any hallway noise. The bed was unbelievably comfortable and they had a pillow menu (never seen that before lol). My wife used the spa and she found the prices reasonable and the services great. If you’re a Hilton Diamond Member they let you use the Turkish bath and some of the spa areas. This was an added benefit which was very nice. Overall, I’d recommend this hotel as long as you are prepared for the extra cost. If you plan on staying at the hotel mostly this is the best hotel out there.

Not quite what I hoped. Arrived last night, have booked 5 nights- not quite the view I had hoped - car park and mobile tower. One very disappointed Hilton Diamond member. Basic room and feel like I’ve be shoved in car park!

We were very disappointed with our room location. As Hilton Diamond members, we were told there were no upgrades available when we checked in, which was a bit surprising. However, from reading other reviews, this sounds like their standard operating procedure of not offering any upgrades based on status. But regardless of that, we felt they placed us in the least desirable room they had on property looking straight at a radio tower/parking lot on the 3rd floor. We had told them in advance we were celebrating our 13 year wedding anniversary. They did place a bottle of prosecco in our room which was a nice touch but quite frankly, to be expected for a luxury 4-star property. The property is far away from the city center and while they did provide a shuttle, we did not feel the timing was very convenient or in the best area to drop off/pick up, so we ended up spending a lot of money on taxis to get us where we needed to go. I was also surprised they did not really have a sundries shop on site (with them being so far away) that sold medicine, toiletries, etc. As Diamond members, breakfast was included and we felt it was pretty decent with a nice selection. It was raining off and on while we were there so we did not use the pool but looked nice and I am sure we would have enjoyed it had we taken advantage of it. The front desk, concierge, and bellman staff were all very friendly and helpful. The staff working in the Tiepolo lounge did not seem like they enjoyed their jobs and could have been more engaging with the customers. Housekeeping was great- we had no complaints there. Overall, it was fine but I would probably not stay here again. I was underwhelmed for a Waldorf Astoria property.

The cavalier is the best hotel in Rome. The location overlooking Rome, the pool is by far the best in Rome. The fitness center is large and has plenty of equipment. I would only go to the Rome cavalier when in Rome.
