3 Best Hotels in Piazza di Spagna, Rome

Near the most expensive shopping street in Rome, Via Condotti, and one block from the Spanish Steps, this group of hotels and apartments is all about peace, comfort, and location. Common areas and guest rooms in the main building have elegant, walnut period furnishings, gilt-edge mirrors, and top-notch linens and fabrics in warm, relaxing tones. The guest rooms exude a classic charm, though they tend to be on the smaller side. There are annex rooms and larger apartments with fully equipped kitchens spread out over seven buildings in the neighborhood.

Located blocks away from Piazza di Spagna, Crossing Condotti is a chic, apartment-style escape in an 18th-century palazzo that comes with a curated pantry stocked with complimentary snacks and a library lounge. Rooms and suites are outfitted with vintage furniture by the likes of Hans Wegner and stocked with bath products by L'Occitaine.

Formerly the retreat of a rich noble family, this 15th-century house is now one of Rome's most intimate and luxurious hotels, with gorgeous terraces and a rooftop bar affording views of the never-ending theater of the Spanish Steps. Even the Hassler, Il Palazzetto's iconic sister hotel on the other side of Piazza Trinità dei Monti, can't make this claim. The four tranquil guest rooms are outfitted in soothing taupes and creams (three look out over the Steps); none of them have room service, but guests enjoy full use of the facilities at the Hassler. Without the 24-hour attention of the Hassler, and with their sense of privacy and independence, Il Palazzetto's accommodations feel more like small, luxury apartments than hotel rooms—something that's seen as a major perk by guests, who tend to book up the rooms months in advance.
