W Rome

“When in Rome,” as the saying goes, you simply must indulge. The ghosts of Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck demand it. And the new W Rome was seemingly designed to pamper creative types, with its art-stocked halls and buzzing dining options. But it’s the guest rooms that feel truly sumptuous after a day spent strolling the cobblestones. Even the 247-square-foot “Fabulous room” is a treat, with its herringbone wood floors, channel tufted leather headboard, marble-lined bath and intricately paneled walls.

A 162-room gem tucked into an ancient palazzo, with a Wet Deck outdoor pool on the 6th floor and a dreamy rooftop bar.

Avoiding sweets. The hotel has its own Wonka-ready pastry shop by Rome-born Chef Fabrizio Fiorani.

Amenities include 24-hour room service, gratis bottled water and in-room air conditioning (rare, here).

With its colorful cocktails and rainbow-bright place settings, the hotel’s Giano Restaurant seems like it was designed for Insta. But the on-point Sicilian menu—including this unforgettable Palermo-style swordfish—proves it’s as authentic as it gets.
