Margutta 19

It shares a street with the similarly named Margutta 54, but that’s not all — Margutta 19 also shares an owner, the luxe and glamorous Rome Luxury Suites. And if you had nothing else to go on, “Rome luxury suites” is a good start towards describing Margutta 19’s appeal. The best hotels in Rome are small, and the Via Margutta, just up the road from the Spanish Steps, in the shadow of the Villa Borghese, is one of the city’s most prestigious streets, known for the artists who once called it home.

Inside this well-preserved palazzo you’ll find high-end contemporary Italian elegance at its finest. There’s one deluxe room, which is lavish but compact, and the rest are suites, spanning well over 400 square feet and equipped with luxuries like king beds dressed in Frette linens, in-room Nespresso machines, and indulgent travertine marble bathrooms with walk-in showers and separate bathtubs.

Not every hotel in this town has a restaurant, but this one does — the fine-dining Assaggia, whose Michelin-starred chef delivers upscale Roman cuisine in a space with a stunning outdoor terrace. Meanwhile, for an evening drink, you’re welcome on the rooftop at Babuino 181, another Rome Luxury Suites hotel just around the corner.
