Fodor's Expert Review Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese
Via Lombardia 47, Rome, Latium, 00187, Italy
Set in a refurbished 1902 Victorian palace, the Sofitel—which has a long-standing good reputation with business travelers—exudes old-world elegance with modern-design sensibility. The hotel is cleverly situated on a quiet street between the hot spots of Via Veneto and the Spanish Steps. The ethereal guest rooms are decorated in subdued tones with flowing white drapes and peeks of pastel frescoes. All feature amenities such as Hermès toiletries, Bose stereo systems, and Nespresso machines. The rooftop restaurant, Settimo, is the perfect place to watch the sun set over the city.
PROS
- luxury lodging off the main drag (but not far from it)
- first-rate concierge and porter
- luminous updated guest rooms
CONS
- rooms are on the smaller side
- prominent business clientele and quiet location might make it too low-key for some
- tiny fitness center
