Rome, Italy
Hotel De' Ricci
Intimate Elegance
What it is
A glam eight-suite hideaway with a wine cellar 1,500 labels deep, plus a cigar lounge that’s renowned for its Cubans.
What it isn't
Equipped with a spa. But the concierge is delighted to arrange treatments in your suite with local pros, whether you’re hankering for a deep tissue massage or one that’s designed to lessen your jet lag.
What we think
In a city like Rome, you won’t spend much time in your room—which is exactly why the starting suite option at Hotel de’ Ricci, the 258 square foot Junior Suite, may be all you need. Plus, it’s a sumptuous stay, with its Mid Century inspired interiors (including antique Italian furniture); frescoed walls; parquet flooring; and modern amenities like coffee machines and individually controlled air conditioning. For even more room to roam, we love the Deluxe Suite with Terrace; it’s nearly 700 square feet, with its own de facto wine cellar in the separate living room and (yes!) a private terrace ideal for sipping a glass of Frascati as the sun sets.
You're here because
You’re an oenophile, and clearly the hotel is, too. You’re looking forward to treating yourself to one of their hour-and-a-half-long wine tastings.
The Moment
The hotel’s cigar lounge is buzzing tonight: you almost think you see a young Ernest Hemingway, who lived in Rome in the 1950s, laughing his deep belly laugh in the corner.
