Location, location and elevation. Sitting atop the Spanish Steps beside the church of Trinità dei Monti, Hassler Roma is quite literally king of the hill, with the Eternal City unfurling from its front door and spilling down the travertine steps. A ...

Our Inspector's Highlights

The Hassler's rooms come in two personalities, classic (wood paneling, marble) and sleek contemporary, and every famous guest seems to have had a favorite. Audrey Hepburn chose the San Pietro Presidential Suite, with a wood-paneled living room, a coffered ceiling and a terrace aimed squarely at the dome of St. Peter's. Karl Lagerfeld went for the Presidential Suite Trinità dei Monti: black and white, naturally, with an Art Deco vibe, Carrara marble floors, Swarovski crystals in the ceiling, and five balconies with arguably the best view of the church's bell towers in the house. Lagerfeld’s cat, Choupette, stayed across the hall. For pure wow factor, nothing beats the eighth-floor Hassler Penthouse, a 3,550-square-foot escape with a grand piano, bathtubs with city views, a private elevator and a butler.
In 1950 the Hassler opened Rome's first panoramic restaurant, and in 2026 it was reborn as Imàgo. It has a sleek new look and an open kitchen, with a four-seat Kitchen Table that gives both a front row to chef Andrea Antonini’s team as well as St. Peter’s Dome. Antonini marks the anniversary with ERROR15, a 15-course tasting menu that playfully treats mistakes as the seeds of creativity. It opens with a prosciutto-and-fig pizza eaten by hand, nods to Rome with dishes like Roman-style green beans and ends with a dessert that blurs sweet and savory.
Jacques Garcia worked from the luxury hotel's own archival photographs to remake the historic Sala Vietri lounge, bringing to light its original Vietri ceramic tiles. Garcia also returned the Palm Court, the hotel’s hidden open-air courtyard, from its Miami-influenced style to a more traditionally Roman feel. This is where you’ll sip a Summer in Palm Court (gin, limoncello and elderflower) or a Hassler Martini with pomegranate and take in the Roman skies.
Imàgo gets the headlines for its panoramic view, but the 7th Floor Terrace is arguably the best aperitivo perch in Rome. From the spritz to a signature Veruschka (a sparkling cocktail named for Roberto’s daughter made with pomegranate extract and champagne), this is one of the city’s best-kept secrets. Also it helps that there’s a polished yet unfussy menu where you’ll find a pepper waffle topped with beef tartare, a classic prawn cocktail and Beluga caviar with blinis.
From 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., an electric courtesy car with chauffeur is on hand to whisk guests around the historic center. This is key in the Roman heat.

Things to Know

The concierge team has an enviable network of guides and behind-the-scenes access. If Rome has a locked door worth opening, one of the concierges likely knows who holds the key.
A 32,000-square-foot, two-level spa is set to open late autumn. Expect a 13-by-6-meter heated pool facing a mosaic wall inspired by the Baths of Caracalla, Finnish sauna, ice chamber, Kneipp path, treatment rooms, private spa suite and treatments powered by Biologique Recherche products.
The Rome hotel's in-house scent, Amorvero (which means “true love”), was created by Roberto E. Wirth. And you’ll find the floral and citrus notes in all the bathroom amenities.
The Hassler's 19th-century sister property, Il Palazzetto, sits right beside the Spanish Steps. It has four beautiful rooms, and more importantly a panoramic wine bar terrace that’s just off of Piazza Trinità dei Monti.
