To say it’s an embarrassment of riches is no pun. The luxury hotel scene in Rome is dazzling, rapidly growing, and even bewildering in its abundance of offerings, with more than 70 five-star hotels in the city and more slated to open this year and next. Whether you’re accustomed to staying in these laps of luxury, or a five-star stay is a splurge for a special occasion, the same conundrum remains – deciding which luxury hotel to choose in Rome is no easy feat.
Choosing the best luxury hotel for you should be based on a number of factors – which are all considered in this list. First and foremost, the finest hotels offer a real sense of place – because when you fall asleep and wake up in the Eternal City, you should be reminded of where you are. Location, amenities and room options are all important but, just as principal is whether these luxury hotels make travellers feel as they should – valued, welcomed and pampered guests. And there’s also the all-important question of value – a quality not often associated with five-star prices. Because even when money is no object, at the end of a stay, it’s important to feel that yours was well-spent.
