The best hotels in Rome, from luxury palazzos to affordable boutiques

Hotel De’ Ricci offering just eight suites, one with a serious terrace, this intimate albergo is akin to a private home tucked away on an unassuming cobblestone street in Regola, a mostly residential neighbourhood running alongside the River Tiber. It feels removed from the hustle and bustle, and yet the Pantheon is a 15-minute walk away.

There is no restaurant (but there is 24-hour, very good room service in its place); rather, Italian wine is the focus here, with eight varieties offered in each suite and many more (up to 1,500) in the cellar. The bar also makes knockout aperitivi – house negronis and other cocktails crafted at a trolley beside your table before dinner among the winding, ivy-clad streets of Trastevere just across the water.

Design is by photographer Daria Reina and fashion illustrator Andrea Ferolla of Chez Dédé, the ultra-cool concept store almost next door (clothes, accessories, books, gifts), with no two rooms alike, each a meld of vintage and midcentury-inspired furniture and hand-painted trompe l’oeil murals.
