The wine lover’s hotel par excellence is none other than Hotel de’ Ricci, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World tucked away on a quiet side street in the heart of Rome. With just eight suites, its diminutive size is belied by its extensive wine cellar boasting 1,500 labels, including rare bottles like a 1990 Barbaresco by Gaja, a 1988 Sassicaia, a 1988 Petrus, and a 1988 Château Latour. Each suite comes with a wine fridge that can be personalized upon request, and most of the staff members are sommeliers, including the general manager. A nightly aperitivo in the hotel’s Charade Bar is included in the room rate, and the staff will happily arrange a private wine tasting led by one of the sommeliers.
