The hotel itself is a gem, among the 190 historical buildings in Italy. The 7th-floor Settimo Roman Cuisine and its outdoor terrace with a breathtaking view of Rome ensure an unforgettable experience. The 78 spacious rooms and suites, boasting Baroque-inspired frescoed ceilings, showcase the hotel’s past as a 19th-century Roman palace, once a guesthouse owned by the noble Ludovisi Boncompagni family. Each room combines modern design elements for comfort, featuring the luxurious Sofitel MyBed and marble bathrooms with Diptyque bath products.
The hotel’s designer, French architect Jean-Philippe Nuel, drew inspiration from the landscaped gardens of Villa Borghese next door, offering west-facing rooms with a view. Nuel’s design, with a neutral color palette and nature-inspired hues, blends Italian ‘La Dolce Vita’ heritage with French classicism. The public areas are adorned with striking features like a marble mosaic floor contrasting with the original checkered tiles. The lobby showcases a sparkling wall of French champagne bottles and rotates vibrant artworks from partner galleries.
Settimo, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, perfectly reflects the Villa Borghese influence. With a design reminiscent of a garden greenhouse and panoramic views, diners can savor Chef Giuseppe D’Alessio’s Roman delicacies, including iconic pasta dishes like Primi Piatti cacio e pepe and spaghetti carbonara. The Secondi options showcase his culinary expertise, from pan-fried chicken supreme to succulent roasted rack of lamb. Don’t miss the traditional tiramisu. And for a true Italian experience, enjoy a pre-dinner aperitivo on Settimo’s outdoor terrace overlooking Borghese Gardens and the Vatican.
