What it is

A show-stopping 74-room, 17-suite retreat with four sceney restaurants and bars (one on the roof); a plunge pool; and a gleaming 24-hour gym to work off the cannolis.

What it isn't

Equipped with its own sprawling spa. But they’re opening two treatment rooms shortly for all your #treatyoself needs.

What we think

Hotelier Ian Schrager has famously created some of the world’s most exquisite experiences since he co-founded Studio 54 in the 1970s. The Rome Edition has all the spellbinding magic of his other hotels with an added bonus: it’s in Rome, one of the most eye candy cities on the planet. Guest rooms here are truly worthy of their locale, thanks to parquet wood flooring; modernist-meets-Art Deco-inspired design details; and ultra-luxe amenities that range from Bang & Olufsen speakers to custom Le Labo toiletries that will turn your marble lined rainforest shower into a de facto spa. Superior Rooms begin at 279 square feet (gargantuan, by the standards of Ancient Rome); for even more space, we love the Courtyard Suite for its 462 square foot floor plan complete with a separate living room—so cozy to come home to after a day pounding the cobblestones.

You're here because

You love a rooftop pool and bar; this one is so stylish it could grace the cover of Architectural Digest Italia with its olive trees and parade of creamy daybeds.

The Moment

Leave it to Ian Schrager to whip up the most delicious cocktail bar in all of Italy. Tonight in the candlelit Punch Room, the whole room is abuzz with starlets and other creatives living their best lives. Your drink—the Diplomatic Immunity—is only adding to the effect.
