Fodor's Review:

If Rome's semi-stodgy hotel scene has an It-Girl, it's the Exedra. Hardly a travel column unfolds without a mention of it, celebs vie for face time, and it's the hostess of the moment for out-of-town high rollers and Roman big spenders alike. Unlike its naughty younger brother the Aleph, the Exedra is a model of neoclassical respectability, all gilt-framed mirrors and fresh flowers, but there's a glint of cutting edge in the paparazzi-inspired (and inspiring) Tazio brasserie. Rooms are predictably luscious in an uptown way, with silky linens and handsome nouveau-colonial bedsteads, and many face the spectacular fountain in the piazza outside. Why stay here, rather than at the umpteen other expensively elegant hotels in central Rome? You can think about it while you lounge by the rooftop swimming pool. Pros: spacious and attractive rooms; great spa and pool; terrace with cocktail service. Cons: food and beverages are expensive; hotel seems overstaffed at times; beyond the immediate vicinity; parts of the neighborhood seem unsavory.
