Rome’s Most Romantic Hotels

Rome is undoubtedly one of the most romantic cities in the world. Even its name in Italian, Roma, is amor, or love in Latin, spelled backwards. The city inspires romanticism through its long history, indulgent architecture, picturesque piazzas dotted with fountains, range of art, and of course the possibility of sharing all this over a bottle of wine with someone special. If just being in Rome can inspire romance, you’ll want to take a Valentine’s holiday, honeymoon, or just a romantic weekend to the next level by choosing the right hotel.

Most of the hotels listed below specialize in luxury, in their rooms and views and restaurants. Many of them have terraces overlooking the most historic parts of the city, and their rooms are furnished to be comfortable, sexy or modern (or all 3). So whatever you and your partner are in the mood for, check out our suggestions…

And if you’re looking for something a bit more romantic, consider renting an authentic Italian villa through a company like QualityVillasItaly.co.uk, which has property listings throughout Italy.

Portrait Roma

This luxury boutique hotel is relatively new to Rome’s 5-star hotel scene, but it has already made a lasting impression. It is located above the Salvatore Ferragamo shop, near the Spanish Steps and Via Condotti. The views from the rooms are amazing, as are the rooms themselves that delight in balancing comfort with black-and-white charm from the 1950s.

Suite Sistina

This hotel wins for being the sexiest on this list. With details such as round beds and bathtubs or a jacuzzi right in the room, the Suite Sistina can somehow pull these features off without being too much. And if such details weren’t enough, the hotel adds extra flourishes like a sound system and plush throws for the bed. These hotel rooms start at €170.
