Hotel Locarno
A great hotel that completely lives up to the
praising words that it receives in various travel guides. The rooms are
individually designed with hand-made wallpaper and classical Italian
style. The service is great and there are bikes available free of
charge. That is awesome in Rome, if you don’t have the guts to rent a
Vespa.

Aleph
Decadent
and chic are some of the adjectives that you can put on this
price-winning hotel. The hotel’s theme circles around love and hate and
angels and sinners – and in the lobby, two Samurais will greet you!
You have to enjoy design, attitude and details that are over-the-top in
order to appreciate a stay here. It’s not for the minimalist aesthetes!

Hotel de Russie
Expensive,
but wonderful and trendy. Celebrities stay here when they’re in Rome
and the rooms are large, beautifully decorated in the 1930’s style –
and situated right by the Piazza del Popolo. You can actually book
rooms at reasonable prices outside the peak seasons, which applies to
most hotels in Rome.
