Palm Suite
"Why book? Bold tropical patterns, tiger statues, and palm-tree lights: a stay at Palm Suite feels like you’re sleeping on the set of Oscar-winning film The Great Beauty. Set the scene. A riot of color, mismatched furniture, and vintage objects, Palm Suite draws a swanky, fashion conscious clientele looking for spacious, boutique residences just steps from the Colosseum and Roman Forum. The backstory The building dates back to the 18th century, and feels more like a private residence than a hotel. The rooms There are five suites set across three floors, each with their own design and vibe. All suites have their own living areas, and striking city views. But it’s the design that people come for: bold, tropical patterns on white walls, and perfectly mismatched cushions propped up against rattan headboards. If you’re looking for cookie-cutter, this isn’t your place. Food and drink There’s no on-site restaurant per se, but guests can visit Michelin-starred rooftop restaurant Aroma at sister hotel Palazzo Manfredi. The experience—overlooking the Colosseum and Roman Forum—is once in a lifetime. Or just go for a cocktail at The Court on the terrace, where the Roman Martini (gin, chamomile, absinthe, laurel and puntarella bitters) is a house favorite. The neighborhood/area This is one of the most central locations in Rome, with all five of Rome’s major sites—including the Pantheon and the Roman Forum—within a seven-minute walk. The service Personalized and thoughtful; they’re a step ahead and seem to know what you want, before you do." - Maresa Manara
