Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Alexandra

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

For nearly a century, this hotel has been a family affair, with distinguished style and moderate prices that have allowed it to hold its own against its flashier big brothers and sisters on upscale Via Veneto. Thankfully, the hotel has seen some slight revamping since the dolce vita days of the '50s and '60s; most of the no-frills rooms have been tastefully redecorated with both elegant antiques and handsome contemporary furnishings. Rates aren't bad considering its prominent location (in low season, you can find rooms for as low as €120).
