Fodor's Review:

Once the preferred haunt of Hemingway, Ingrid Bergman, and Fellini, this superlative hotel combines dashing elegance and stunning vistas of Rome with the warmth of Italian hospitality. Set atop an oh-my-weary-feet hill near the Villa Borghese (and a bit out of the historic center for serious sightseers), this hotel was opened in the late 19th century and quickly became famous for its balcony views and Roman splendor. After a multimillion dollar restoration in the 1990s by Lord Forte, you'll now dive deep here into the whoooooossh of luxury, with antiques, sumptuous Italian fabrics, linen sheets, and marble baths competing for your attention. Even the most basic room here is elegantly designed (which is as it should be if your basic double room goes for some 700 euros). Banquette window seats, rich mahogany furniture, soaring ceilings, Napoléon-Trois sofas are just some of the allurements here. Pros: gorgeous panoramic view from roof terrace; you could be rubbing elbows with the stars; 24-hour room service. Cons: expensive (unless money is no object for you); no Wi-Fi in the rooms; some say the staff can be hit-or-miss.

I chose this hotel due to it's close proximity to the Bourgesi park and other major destinations (we walked everywhere). It's a lovely place with an outstanding view from the top floor restaraunt... we were there when the Itailians won the World Cup Try to book a room in the newer section of the hotel as our room was a 4, not a 5... but still very very nice. The concierge staff was outstanding.
