The Inn at the Spanish Steps

The Inn at the Spanish Steps

Rome, Italy

Occupying an enviable location in the heart of Rome, The Inn at the Spanish Steps offers an intriguing boutique hotel concept that allows their guests to feel part of the city. The property is not simply a hotel but a series of small annexes, clustered, as the name suggests, right by the Spanish Steps. Each section offers a selection of rooms nestled within the grand buildings that make up the city’s most fashionable shopping district, and contains a private lounge and terrace where breakfast is served each morning.

With impeccable service and attention to detail, the Inn gives the impression that you are staying within your own luxurious set of suites rather than a traditional hotel. Particularly as each section only has a handful of rooms. After breakfast has been cleared each morning, the friendly staff lay out a selection of sweets and sandwiches in the lounge area that is available throughout the day should you wish to refuel in between sightseeing. In the evening, an aperitivo selection is also available in the main bar area.

OUR OPINION:

We particularly like sitting out on the terrace, enjoying breakfast each morning nestled among the rooftops and watching the city come to life.

Rooms

With each annex located in a different building, the rooms here offer an array of diversity in terms of their situation and views. However, all are beautifully furnished in an elegant and sumptuous style and feature air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. Each annex has its own roof terrace and private lounge where breakfast is served each morning with views of either the surrounding streets or the Piazza Spagna.

Various combinations of rooms and suites can be linked together for groups traveling together. It is also possible to book an entire annex section or floor to ensure complete privacy.
