A first-hand review outranks desk research every time, and yours will sit above this one.

Share your experience

The Hassler Roma has 82 rooms and suites and sits directly at the top of the Spanish Steps. Its rooftop restaurant, Imago, holds a Michelin star. Nightly rates are not published as a fixed figure and vary with season. The position is the entire proposition. You walk out of the door onto the top of the Steps, with the whole city below and Villa Borghese behind you, and the Via Condotti shopping street running down to the Corso. Nothing else in Rome is placed like this. Eighty-two rooms is small for a hotel of this standing, which is why the service is the other thing people remember.

What was great

The single best address in Rome, at the top of the Spanish Steps. A Michelin-starred rooftop restaurant with a view over the city. Eighty-two rooms, small enough that staff know who you are.

What nearly ruined the trip

Among the most expensive hotels in Italy, with no published rate card. The Spanish Steps are one of the busiest spots in the city, so stepping outside means stepping into a crowd. Rooms vary considerably in size and outlook at similar prices.
