Hotel Art Review

It's Alta Roma Moda meets a chic contemporary art gallery at this hotel that sits cleverly on Via Margutta, "the street of painters." As you glide your way through the stylish lobby, the smart furnishings and fixtures in the public spaces of the hotel will build up your urge to bid on an item as if you were at an auction at Christie's. The real gem is the Crystal Bar, set in an old chapel, with gilded panels in Raphaelesque style and topped off with a glittering chandelier. Guest rooms—color-coordinated, inexplicably, with hallways—are a more standard upper-middle contemporary style, with sleek wood headboards, puffy white comforters, bathrobes, and hi-speed Internet connection.
