"Ian Schrager’s lifestyle property on Via Veneto injects contemporary, quiet-luxury design into a historic neighborhood with 93 high-design rooms that favor neutral palettes and artisan details; social highlights include a sultry Punch Room cocktail den, a leafy garden restaurant from a noted chef mixing Roman and Neapolitan flavors, and a private rooftop with a plunge pool." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
"Dining in a green courtyard garden highlights the culinary program here, where dishes such as tagliolini with Mazara red shrimp and a bisque by chef Paola Colucci (of Pianostrada) showcase refined, ingredient-driven cooking in a serene outdoor setting." - Laura Itzkowitz
"The Rome Edition is housed in a Rationalist building and features a restaurant by the team behind Pianostrada." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"This new addition to Rome’s boutique hotel scene does not disappoint, with 91 sleek, contemporary rooms and a peaceful garden and rooftop plunge pool. Rooms are decidedly modern, with custom-made furniture and minimal accessories—it’s all about understated elegance here. The location, just around the corner from Via Veneto, is an added boon, but the hotel is so lovely that you’d be forgiven for just wanting to stay in with room service, too. This is entrepreneur Ian Schrager and his team’s first foray into Italy (Milan and Como are slated to open in the near future). It's surprisingly child-friendly, with mini bathrobes and cots available; the restaurant, Anima, does a great kids menu too—very rare in Rome." - Maresa Manara
"Why book This new addition to Rome’s boutique hotel scene does not disappoint, with 91 sleek, contemporary rooms and a peaceful garden and rooftop plunge pool. Rooms are decidedly modern, with custom-made furniture and minimal accessories—it’s all about understated elegance here. The location, just around the corner from Via Veneto, is an added boon, but the hotel is so lovely that you’d be forgiven for just wanting to stay in with room service, too. Set the scene The Rome outpost of Marriott’s rapidly expanding EDITION brand is bang in the city’s historic center, around the corner from Via Veneto, amid ancient buildings, exclusive boutiques and chic locals. The hotel itself is a converted 1940s bank, with a big expansive lobby, high ceilings, and grand old marble staircase so majestic it must have a story or two to tell. Green spaces come in the form of a secret jasmine-scented courtyard and garden, and a rooftop with views across Rome. The location itself is faultless—central yet somehow secluded. The backstory This is entrepreneur Ian Schrager and his team’s first foray into Italy (Milan and Como are slated to open in the near future). For their Rome outpost, the team has gutted and renovated an iconic 1940s building and former bank, adding 91 rooms and a rooftop courtyard and pool. They’ve managed to honor the building’s original rationalist style, keeping the Cipollino marble staircase for example, and the central courtyards and original statues and lamps. The rooms The 91 rooms, including 17 suites, don’t scrimp on the design elements the brand is renowned for: think muted tones and immaculately designed custom made furniture. In keeping with the location, there’s plenty of Made in Italy, including Canaletto walnut wood accents and bathrooms basins made from Carrara marble. Food and drink Dining here is about seasonality. At Anima, Chef Paola Colucci treats diners to elevated Italian cuisine, including spaghetti with roasted tomatoes and veal with tuna sauce, alongside some of the best tomato and burrata we’ve had. Alongside the food there’s a strong, mostly Italian wine list—and some very good (and quick) 24-hour in-room dining. The neighborhood Locations don’t get much better than this quiet block in the heart of Rome, a few steps from Via Veneto. This is one of the most walkable areas you could find, close to Piazza Barberini, the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain, plus great restaurants, bars, bookstores, cafés, and shops.For families Romantic weekend away gatecrashed by your own kids? The Rome EDITION is surprisingly child-friendly, with mini bathrobes and cots available; Anima does a great kids menu too—rare in Rome. Eco effort The EDITION brand has made a bunch of thoughtful and responsible decisions to reduce plastic usage across their hotels. There’s no single-use plastics here; instead, expect to see boxed, not bottled, water, while minibar items are chosen for their ability to stay fresh without being wrapped in plastic. Bathroom products are wrapped in biodegradable packaging, and they ask guests to request towel and sheet changes, rather than the hotel automatically changing them daily.Accessibility The hotel is fully accessible for guests with disabilities, including both common areas and guest rooms." - Maresa Manara
