4-Star Hotels in Rome: 5 Great Choices in the Center

The Italian capital is a global city with endless places to stay, but it isn't always easy to find the best hotels in Rome. In the center alone there are more than 300 four-star hotels, so if you're looking for central 4-star hotels in Rome, here are the best ones.

5 four-star hotels in Rome

Why choose a 4-star hotel in Rome?

Depending on the kind of trip you have in mind and your budget, a hotel's star rating can help you weigh up the features and services that will make you most comfortable on your next trip.

• What we like most about 4-star hotels is that they offer little luxuries and extras that make a real difference if you're staying several days.
• They're the choice of more demanding travelers, the ones who want a holiday without giving up rest and comfort.
• And for prices only slightly higher (sometimes about the same) as some of the 3-star hotels in Rome, you get considerably more.

1. Alpi Hotel (Our pick)

Five minutes from Castro Pretorio metro station, the Alpi is a welcoming 4-star hotel in Rome that has been owned by the same family since 1963.

The rooms come with a whirlpool tub, and you can also book a session with the on-site masseurs.

2. Augusta Lucilla Palace

Of all the 4-star hotels in Rome, this one stands out for comfort. The hotel takes rest seriously, which is why every bed has a massage function and memory foam; an oasis after a long day walking around the monuments of the Eternal City.

We love it because, if you book ahead and depending on the season, you can find nightly rates under €100. The Rome Opera House is nearby, and from Termini station you have connections to the Spanish Steps (Piazza di Spagna), the Vatican and the Colosseum. Perfect for a couples' trip!

3. The Hoxton, Rome

Free bikes, family rooms and a lovely terrace are just some of what The Hoxton, Rome has going for it.

It isn't in the center, but it's still one of the best hotels in Rome, as its scores on the main booking sites confirm. It's 1.9 km from Spagna metro station and 2.4 km from Repubblica – Teatro dell'Opera.

A few blocks away you'll also find the Museum of Contemporary Art, one of the leading museums in Rome.

4. Twentyone Hotel

With ultra-modern rooms and minimalist decor, this is one of our favorite 4-star hotels in central Rome. The boutique hotel sits on Via Cola di Rienzo, one of the best-known shopping streets in the Italian capital.

A 15-minute walk from the door you'll reach the Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica. You can also reach the city center from Lepanto metro station, 500 meters away.

5. Hotel Quirinale

Feel like European royalty in this beautiful 19th-century building, with parquet floors and elegant original features. Breakfast is spectacular (and included), and there's an à la carte restaurant plus the well-known Opera Bistrot.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this hotel, though, is that it connects to the Rome Opera House through a passage in its own courtyard.
