Amy Adejokun Section editor

A small hotel located in the Piazza di Spagna district, the Daniels is a good compromise between mid-range accommodation, which is less chic, and an upmarket hotel, which are a lot more expensive. This is a good place to spend a weekend in Rome, as a couple or a family, for shopping, antiques and gardens (Villa Borghese Park begins at the top of the steps from Piazza di Spagna). Winter is the best time of year to visit in order to appreciate the luxury (which is quite rare) of the covered terrace on the top floor.

    Location 7.27 /10

    On the Via Frattina, the street leading to the Piazza Mignanelli, beside the Piazza di Spagna. Closest underground station: Spagna (656 ft from the hotel).
    Fiumicino airport is 16 mi away, Ciampino 9 mi away. Transfer time is around 45 minutes from Fiumicino and 30 minutes from Ciampino.

    Accommodation 7.45 /10

    The 14 bedrooms consist of 9 standard rooms (overlooking a small backyard) and 5 junior suites (overlooking the Via Frattina). The furniture is identical, apart from the Rossini and Verdi suites (each has a painted ceiling). As far as floor area is concerned, standard rooms cover around 172 sq ft and suites cover 215 sq ft. The walls are painted in yellow spatolato (an enamel coating of Venetian origin), the floors are carpeted and the double headboard, in ochre suedette, is surrounded by gilded wood. Four of the rooms are spacious enough to be able to accommodate an extra bed on request and 3e of the junior suites can accommodate two adults and two children. Babies under 2 years of age can stay free of charge and a cot is available at no extra cost. As far as facilities are concerned, there is a television and there is a mini-bar, air-conditioning a telephone and a small safe deposit box. Bathrooms have a bathtub, hair-dryer and the hotel's own hospitality products (40ml). The 5 junior suites have the additional luxury of bathrobes, Bulgari hospitality products (30ml) and a hydromassage bath (private whirlpool bath!).

    Overview 7.20 /10

    The Daniels is a great place to stay for those who wish to indulge in a little luxury shopping without their legs getting tired. The building is located on one of the commercial streets of the Piazza di Spagna district (with its large fashion houses, antiques, delicatessens, etc.). Once through the hotel door, you find yourself in neo-renaissance surroundings: walls half panelled in white wood, the rest covered by shot-silk fabric and two-way (old-fashioned) mirrors giving an impression of space. It is welcoming, as the hotel is the size of a private house: a small reception desk at the end of a corridor and sitting areas at the back, in a separate room which also serves as a bar. Access to the bedrooms is via the staircase (or lift). The breakfast terrace is on the top floor. You can also have a drink there in the daytime.

    Food and drink 7.45 /10

    The hotel only serves breakfast. This is provided in the form of a continental buffet in the bar area of the covered terrace on the top floor: diced fresh fruit, cooked fruit, jam tart, bread rolls, cheese and cooked meats are all available. Fried eggs and omelette are available on request. As the terrace is covered and surrounded by picture windows, it is used all year round: this is an undeniable advantage in winter and a (moderate) disadvantage in summer, as there is no open area on the terrace. You can make the most of this by coming in January, one of the months in Rome when the hotels are not full and when the days can be as sunny as in the springtime. If you would like to have a drink, take a seat on the terrace rather than the ground-floor bar: in fact the latter has no outward-looking windows (which is a shame given the elegant buildings in the area).

    To know

    The Daniels is one of the smaller hotels (14 bedrooms) with a terrace on the top floor: this can be used all year round thanks to its roof and picture windows (ideal for winter) and its view over the Piazza di Spagna district, the Villa Medici and the Quirinal Palace. Superb for breakfast!
    Accommodation advice
    Note: standard rooms (of which there are 9 in total) overlook a narrow patio, with no particular view. They therefore have less natural light than the junior suites (of which there are 5). If at all possible, book a suite: you will pay around 50% more (not double, which is reasonable) and you will have a much better room (view of the street, hydromassage bath, Bulgari hospitality products, etc.).

      A pretty, well located hotel with a limited number of rooms: for those who want to experience the chic side of Rome, take a stroll through Villa Borghese park or do some shopping on the Via Veneto or in the Piazza di Spagna area. This rococo-inspired hotel is beyond reproach, if you can afford to stay in a suite and take lunch and dinner in the gourmet restaurant with no budget restrictions.

    • Grand Hôtel de la Minerve Grand Hôtel de la Minerve Grand Hôtel de la Minerve

      • Value for money 7.22
      • Location 6.72

      Located in the historic centre of Rome, the Grand Hôtel de la Minerve is a monument in itself. It is a classified building, and has been a hotel since the 18th century. It has 4 suites with unique antique decor, and is topped by a terrace looking over the Rome of the Pantheon, of piazza Navona, a district lit up by classified monuments at night and little bothered by road traffic. If the hotel, given its high standing, is out of your budget range, just come for dinner or a drink. However, only do so from April to October, when the panoramic terrace is open.

      With only four suites, Margutta 54 really is an out-of-the-ordinary hotel experience. Nestled into a corner of a quiet courtyard, surrounded by private residences, artists' workshops and drooping willow trees, it provides one of Rome's ultimate exclusive locations. For the independently minded traveller, this hotel is paradise, with guests left to come and go as they please and minimal staff to disturb the tranquillity. Each suite is unique in size and furniture but the beautiful contemporary Italian decoration features throughout, extending even into the softly lit corridors and entrance hall. Comfort, style and superb location are the corner stones of this hotel, making for a truly welcoming experience, however long you decide to stay.

      Tucked away down a small yet exclusive street not far from the Spanish Steps, the Mario de' Fiori 37 is a couple's paradise. Charming, comfortable and beautifully private, there is nowhere better to secret yourselves away for a weekend or longer in the heart of Rome. Similar in style to its two sister hotels (Babuino 181 and Margutta 54), Mario de' Fiori marries medieval with contemporary Rome. Original wooden beams protrude from the ceilings and the suites are full of quirky little niches and corridors. It may be old, but guests are treated to real roman luxury for the duration of their stay. Staff are wonderfully welcoming and accommodating, making this old style townhouse one of the most romantic get-aways in Rome.

      • Location 6.43

      The well-located (adjacent to the Via Veneto, in close proximity to Villa Borghese park), historical, luxury Sofitel Roma is one of the best choices for an upmarket weekend and is also reasonably-priced. It is welcoming, comfortable and serves a princely breakfast. You can be a little lenient, then, on the bedrooms which overlook a narrow backyard; there is also no point asking where the hammam and whirlpool bath are. The hotel doesn't actually have a spa.

      Here is a hotel that is thought of as an art gallery, or even a contemporary museum: living place, the type of design where the rooms blend in with one another, evoking the minimalist, neo-baroque and post-modernist styles here and there. As there aren't many rooms, you will have to book in advance. If the hotel is fully booked, you can always come here to have a drink and enjoy the decor. Especially as the Spain Square area (nearby) is packed with shopping temptations.

Huge revolving entrance doors and porters in top hats and tails will make you feel like you've stepped onto the set of an Audrey Hepburn movie. This classical hotel is all glittering chandeliers, grandeur and glamour, with a great restaurant to boot. Its size and style make it a hot choice for weddings and dinners, with a delightful central courtyard and rooftop terrace, offering views over the sprawling city. Perfect for business clientele, as well as those wanting to enjoy the city for leisure, this hotel will provide you with a stylish base from which to explore it.

      For those travellers wanting a slightly more personal feel from their stay in Rome, look no further than Babuino 181. This charming little boutique hotel offers one of the warmest welcomes in the city and guarantees both comfort and style for as long a stay as you wish. Handily named after its address, Babuino 181 aims to provide its guests with a high level of independence and privacy. The spacious rooms and comfortable common areas make for a hotel that you could quite happily not leave for a week. Though the hotel itself is only two years old, the building dates back to the 18th century, adding a true Italian authenticity. Its location on one of the city's oldest and most lively streets means that you're staying in, as well as alongside, all the Roman history your heart could desire.

      The Hotel de Russie is one of the grand hotels in Rome with a garden. A privilege that is all the more remarkable because this garden, which backs on to the Monte Pincio (the hill leading to the Villa Borghese Park from the Piazza del Popolo), gives the impression of being in the very heart of the countryside. Perfect for getting away from the commotion and noise of Rome (which begins at the hotel door) whilst remaining just a few minutes by foot from Piazza di Spagna and the elegant shops in the area.

      Take the winding roads through the gardens of the Villa Borghese (one of Rome's most historic villas and gardens) and you will emerge into the peaceful neighbourhood of Parioli, distinctly different from Rome's usual bustling centre. Here, flanked by large private residences, the Aldrovandi Palace hotel offers its guests an exclusive place to rest their heads. As a Leading Hotel of the World, the hotel is used to welcoming guests who expect only the very best - attentive staff, gourmet food and comfort. And this is exactly what it delivers, with elegance, style and a two-Michelin-star restaurant to boot.

      • Location 7.44

      It may be on the list of Rome's hotels but the Villa Spalletti Trivelli is quite different from your ordinary hotel experience. It cannot be confined to any kind of category, nor can it be given any stars. It is simply in a class above the rest - an aristocratic home away from home if you will. Still owned by Count Trivelli and his wife, the Villa was converted from the Count's private residence and still retains its original furniture. You must be looking for the very best in luxury accommodation (with a budget to match) to appreciate the magnificence of this 20th century property, its beautiful rooms and gardens. Rest assured though, that you will receive only the best in exclusive service and ultimate privacy. If official photos tend to exaggerate the elegance of the hotels they picture, then those of Spalletti Trivelli don't do it justice. You must be sat in the grand drawing room with a hot drink or snuggled up in the library with a book in order to really see the restored beauty of one of Rome's most exclusive addresses.

      The Regina Baglioni is one of the historical landmarks of the Via Veneto. Wander down as if to have a drink at Harry's bar (located on the same avenue): for a chic yet traditional atmosphere. Take in the luxury of early 20th Century palaces, the traditional service and the refinement of the decor. It is best suited to couples celebrating a special occasion (birthday or other celebration) to fully appreciate the hotel.

      To make sure of a pleasant stay, impress your other half with a setting that lacks neither gilding nor history, and to discover ancient (or Renaissance) Rome within walking distance of your hotel, reserve a room at the Exedra. This is a luxury hotel but it is not flashy, with attentive and discreet service. It is like living in a palace and, from June to September, you really can get a feel of the "dolce vita", with the open-air swimming-pool on the roof.

      For true boutique style, class and impeccable service, the Lord Byron is our top choice of places to stay in Rome. There is a reason that this hotel has such a loyal returning clientele and it is simply because the service is outstanding. From the moment you walk up the steps to the reception, a relaxed atmosphere washes over you. It may be out of the immediate vicinity of Rome's biggest attractions, but it is all the better for it. After a long day of absorbing the endless roman culture, it is true heaven to come back to a hotel that really feels like home.

      • Location 6.02

      An upmarket hotel, well located for exploring the Piazza Navona and the Trastevere district on foot, the St George is recommended for a week-end away from it all... This will give you the opportunity to try the spa (maybe a treatment or two and a dip in the hydrotherapy bath), sample the restaurant menu and hang out in the wine bar. Ideally you would stay here when the panoramic terrace is open (between April and October). In practice, though, if the rates offer a better deal in January, don't hesitate to stay at the St George: the decor in the hotel (all beige, grey-green and glossy brown) makes it feel more like winter than summer anyway.
