First opened in the late 1800s and run by the sixth generation of Swiss hoteliers—making it Rome's only luxury property to remain in private hands—the Hassler hits you with old-world elegance, exclusive clubhouse vibes, and refined service the moment you enter.

One penthouse claims the largest terrace in town (and a €10,000-per-night price tag), while the other goes one better with two terraces, not to mention butler service (€18,000 per night). More standard rooms at the back will spare you and your wallet the VIP prices, but they don't offer the coveted vistas across the Roman skyline. The Michelin-starred rooftop restaurant, Imàgo, is world-famous for its view and gets top marks for a menu that reinterprets seasonal Italian cuisine. There's also a spa, gymnasium, and salon on-site.

If you'd like more room when you're scrubbing down, request on booking.
