Fodor's Expert Review Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese

Set in a refurbished 1902 Victorian palace, the Sofitel—which has a long-standing good reputation with business travelers—exudes old-world elegance with modern-design sensibility. The hotel is cleverly situated on a quiet street between the hot spots of Via Veneto and the Spanish Steps. The ethereal guest rooms are decorated in subdued tones with flowing white drapes and peeks of pastel frescoes. All feature amenities such as Diptyque toiletries, Bose stereo systems, and Nespresso machines. The rooftop restaurant, Settimo, is the perfect place to watch the sun set over the city.
