Condè Naste Traveller

Situated in the heart of the city centre between Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps, Babuino 181 deposits you within a short walking distance to Rome’s most sought-after sights, such as Villa Borghese and the Trevi Fountain. The 25 spacious and modern rooms feature marble bathrooms and original art – some even include stone fireplaces and writing desks with views of the inner courtyard. There’s a local feel here that’s underscored by a knowledgeable concierge team, available 24/7 to provide guests with insider information and secret tips around the neighbourhood. Tips can also be found in the hotel’s thoughtfully curated physical insider’s guide, provided at check-in and covering everything from the best gelato spots nearby to their favourite Roman millinery – but don’t leave without a visit to the property’s new restaurant, EMME.
