The Best Hotel Restaurants and Bars Across Italy

Italy's hotel restaurants tend to lean on two things above all else: the strength of the regional larder and the strength of the view. Rome delivers on both, from La Terrazza's panorama over the Villa Borghese gardens to Cielo's rooftop above the Spanish Steps, while Florence's Belmond Villa San Michele and Hotel Savoy anchor a city where a great meal and a great view are rarely separate decisions.

Further north, Lake Como's Villa d'Este and the Dolomites' St. Hubertus and La Stüa de Michil at Aman Rosa Alpina show how differently Italian dining can read depending on the landscape, lakeside chandeliers in one, a centuries-old mountain stüa in the other. Across every region, the common thread is a kitchen that trusts its own ingredients enough to leave them alone.
