Hotel La Residenza
Via Emilia 22/24, Rome, Latium, 00187, Italy, Rome, ItalyWhy We Like It
Just around the corner from Via Veneto, this welcoming hotel is full up upgraded furnishings with rooms kept immaculately clean. We love the on-call staff that will help you get wherever you need to go. The delicious breakfast buffet and intimate bar make it easy to stay close to home when you've had your fill of sightseeing. The combo of modern amenities in a classical Roman house make this a picture-perfect stay in the eternal city.
Fodor's Expert Review
This cozy hotel in a converted townhouse near Via Veneto is widely popular among American travelers thanks to its American-style breakfast and helpful staff. The rooms are basic, comfortable, and tasteful (although single rooms are almost windowless), but the real charm of the hotel lies in its bar, terrace, and lounges, which are adorned with stylish wallpaper and inviting loveseats. Nightly in-house movies are also quite popular. Tourists arriving by car will appreciate the hotel's small parking lot.
Tip This hotel has a terrace and an out-door fireplace to cozy up to in winter.

Room
Rooms are fairly spacious for Roman hotel standards. All furnishings are new, with big fluffy beds and chairs. Decor is peaceful in beige and gold colors.

Lobby
With wood flooring, antique rugs and grandfather clocks, a frescoed ceiling, and vintage red and yellow leather sitting chairs, the lobby feels like a comfortable living room in your own private palazzo. Leave your keys at the check-in desk when you exit for the day.

The large breakfast buffet includes homemade muffins and pastries, and well as American-style sausages and made-to-order eggs. There's a wide assortment of fresh juices and coffee on demand.
Drinking
Cocktail hour is a big here at their intimate bar. There's a wide variety of over-the-top frilly drinks on the menu, as well as the standard spritz.
