Residenza Napoleone III - A 16th-century palazzo with imperial suites, original tapestries, and a rooftop garden in Rome's fashion district

Located within the historic Palazzo Ruspoli on Via del Corso, this exclusive Rome hotel occupies a whole city block in the heart of the fashion shopping district. The Napoleone Suite, where Emperor Napoleon III stayed in 1830, features two large reception rooms, 16th-century tapestries, parquet floors, and hand-stencilled walls. The 592 ft^2 Roof Garden Suite offers panoramic city views from its terrace dotted with terracotta pots of lavender. The suite contains a 215.5 ft^2 bedroom with a king-size bed and a 107.5 ft^2 marble bathroom with both a bathtub and walk-in shower. Residenza Napoleone III provides organic continental breakfast with home-made pastries served in Bvlgari silver at guests' preferred time. The property sits within 1640.4 ft of the Trevi Fountain and Pantheon, while the Villa Borghese park is a 15-minute walk away.

Pros

Each guest receives a welcome pack with fresh fruit and Chianti from the Ruspoli's Tuscan estate

Original marble statues of Roman emperors line the entrance staircase

The Blue Room offers additional accommodation through an interconnecting wooden staircase

Housekeeping uses non-toxic cleaning products and home-ironed laundry

Cons

No on-site fitness facilities or swimming pool

Access to the Roof Garden Suite requires climbing a spiral staircase

“The location in a 16th-century palazzo places one amidst the Spanish Steps and high-end shopping; suites, especially the rooftop garden, give unique perspectives on Rome. Breakfast on the terrace, coupled with attentive, personal service, makes it easy to settle into Roman life. It's the kind of stay that becomes part of the travel memories.”
