Destination Rome | some basic information and travel assistance, Roma Italy

Romantic Ruins

Visit the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, and the manicured Villa Borghese park overlooking the city. Admire Michelangelo’s work at the Sistine Chapel and the spectacular St. Peter’s Basilica.

You’ll never tire of this lively, chaotic, beautiful city.

Chapter Roma
Rome’s historic Regola neighborhood

Rome has glamorous hotels, opulent hotels, luxurious hotels. But it doesn’t have many hotels that are in the top tier when it comes to pure style. Whatever the explanation, Hotel Chapter Roma is an illuminating exception. Add one part dark and moody industrial modernism, one part gem-toned Art Deco-inspired swank, and one part irreverent street-inspired art and you’ve got yourself an unforgettable experience.

This hotel also has an owner with quite a good history with Modern Boutique Hotels that may make an interesting read.

J.K. Place Roma
Spanish Steps Area

One of the Top Hotels in Rome. Very few rooms, so it tends to be fully booked several weeks (or months) in advance

Designed by architect Michele Bonan, like its sister hotels in Capri and Florence, the JK Place Roma offers unique personalized services to all guests visiting the Eternal City. Located in the very heart of Rome, only a few minutes walking from the Spanish Steps and Via Condotti and all the main attractions, the hotel features rooms and suites appointed with contemporary and antique pieces to create a feeling reminiscent of the era of La Dolce Vita, combined with the most modern comforts of a luxury boutique hotel. The JKCafe Lounge, Bar & Restaurant offering Italian and international specialties, and the roof garden bar are the perfect places to relax the “JK” way.

Villa Spalletti Trivelli Dimora d’Epoca
Quirinal Hill

One of my favorite smaller hotels in Rome. Every room is very different in this Mansion turned into a hotel. And life in this posh Roman villa is indeed sweet, and if ever there were a hotel that perfectly exemplifies the genre, it’s the Villa Spalletti Trivelli, on Quirinal Hill around the south side of the Palace.
