The best boutique hotels in Rome

This collection of 24 classy serviced apartments, spread across two nearby townhouses in one of the city’s smartest shopping streets that connects the Spanish Steps with Piazza del Popolo, is at the epicentre of Roman glamour. It's a great option for independent mid-budget travellers who want an excellent location and suave design without paying elevated prices. In the annexe just across the street from its main townhouse at number 181 is the hotel's lovely top-floor terrace bar (al fresco in summer) where a continental buffet breakfast is served in the morning and evening cocktails are mixed from 6pm to 9pm.
