Hotel de la Ville

Overview

The Hotel

Perched at the very top of the Spanish Steps — one of the most dramatic addresses in Rome — Hotel de la Ville reopened in 2019 after a complete restoration that revealed 18th-century frescoed ceilings and Baroque architectural details that had been hidden for decades. The 104 rooms and suites by Olga Polizzi layer bold color, Italian craftsmanship, and contemporary art against this historic backdrop, with a rooftop restaurant and bar that offers what is arguably the finest view in central Rome: the Spanish Steps below, the dome of San Pietro in the middle distance, and the entire skyline of the eternal city stretching to the horizon.
