“The crown jewel of the Bulgari hotel collection set in the heart of the Eternal City (Bulgari’s birthplace) and close to the luxury shopping district that naturally includes the Bulgari Dolci store.”

Hotel review

This is somewhere for a really special treat, like a honeymoon or a wedding anniversary. It opened in 2023 right beside the river Tiber and the famous Ancient Roman landmarks of Augustus’s mausoleum and Ara Pacis. The Spanish Steps are close by.

Set on 7 floors its entrance runs under a large portico of classic travertine colonnades. Vast canvas sunscreens hide giant vivacious banana plants. A 2nd century statue of Augustus adorns the entrance and the décor is magnificent with Murano glass and walnut wood throughout. It comes with a luxurious pool and serene sanctuary-like spa. The rooms are super smart with 7 different pillows on offer (from the aloe vera or lavender to the spelt, buckwheat or millet) and divine coloured marble bathrooms. The staff, with their motto “veritas tibi et alteris” (“truth to yourself and others”), are telepathically attentive in their golden uniforms. No wonder Virtuoso awarded it Best Hotel in the World 2024.

La Terrazza is the rosemary, thyme and sage scented rooftop terrace bar. It has smart cabanas and a true panoramic view of the city. Beneath is the hotel’s Niko Romito restaurant with its ambiance music playing along its uber-cool runways to the lengthy restaurant. It has gorgeous autumnal colours, long orange velvet banquettes, a coffered ceiling and a wooden lacquer backdrop. This hotel is a monument to elegance, service and savoir faire. So opulent and luxuriant.
