Overview

From its debut in 1963 as Europe’s first Hilton (it’s now part of the Waldorf Astoria Collection), the Rome Cavalieri has brandished a certain label of distinction — one of an old-world sophistication. Far from the tourists and the tangled lanes of the historic center, the boxy and functional structure may at first seem out of place in a millennium-old metropolis, but its period furniture, marble busts and bronze columns are reminders of grand eras past. We checked in to see if the property’s reputation has withstood the test of time — and upheld its standards in accordance to long-standing traditions.

The 345 guestrooms /25 luxurious suites adopt the ambiance of Mediterranean-style villas, swathed in regal blues and yellows, and equipped with plush chairs, pillow menus, and mirrored bathrooms with travertine tubs, his- and her- vanities, and Salvatore Ferragamo amenities. Sitting rooms open up onto a balcony, where you can soak in bird’s-eye views of Rome, or the surrounding gardens. There’s also an exclusive Imperial wing, with a wood-paneled lounge serving breakfast, afternoon tea and cocktails, and an over-the-top penthouse suite with a private rooftop, solarium, and whirlpool.

If you’re a foodie, the Rome Cavalieri is home to La Pergola, the city’s only restaurant with three Michelin stars – which boasts upscale refinery, from frescoed ceilings and cherry wood tables to gold-plated silverware and French tapestries — not to mention the lauded cuisine of Chef Heinz Beck.

Good to Know: This luxury hotel isn’t just a stone’s throw away from central Rome — though it’s accessible with the hotel’s complimentary shuttle service. Travelers who want to be in smack in pulse of the Eternal City may want to book a room elsewhere.
