"The owners of Fendi Private Suites must have emptied a marble quarry—or five—during its construction, because the hotel’s public spaces are absolutely plastered with the stuff. Huge windows and mirrors sit in red marble frames, golden blocks form chunky tables, and the reception desk is five massive pieces sat higgledy-piggledy atop one another. It’s grand and solid, angular and elegant, which is no less than you’d expect after walking in from the imposing architecture of 18th-century Palazzo Fendi outside. Also, breakfast is complimentary, even if you order it to your room. Do this. Do this every day. The menu is amazing, the food is incredible, and everything tastes ten times better when you eat it in bed, while drinking an espresso from the equally complimentary espresso machine." - Maresa Manara
