5 romantic hotels in Rome

1. Eitch Borromini Palazzo Pamphilj  (Our pick)

Spend your days in the Italian capital in a 17th-century palace where you'll feel like part of Rome's history. The location is ideal for sightseeing: it sits right on Piazza Navona, a short walk from the Pantheon and the iconic Trevi Fountain.

Why we like the Eitch Borromini Palazzo Pamphilj ?

1. The location of this former palace is hard to beat, and the suites look out over Bernini's beautiful Fountain of the Four Rivers.
2. The on-site art gallery (yes, really) holds genuine masterpieces, and the Terrazza Borromini restaurant serves Italian classics.

2. Hotel Barrett

If your budget is tight but you still want to stay somewhere memorable, this is a very good option.

The Hotel Barrett's style draws on imperial Rome and baroque art. Every room is different, and some look out onto the 16th-century palace across the street.

Make the most of the classic Italian breakfast of croissants, fruit and coffee included in the price, then head out to enjoy the city and its Roman monuments on the walking routes the hotel staff put together for the center.
