The Inn at the Spanish Steps Hotel Rome

Hidden behind a discreet entrance on Via dei Condotti, The Inn at the Spanish Steps Hotel Rome is an elegant haven set in a former 19th-century stately home in the centre of Rome. Listed as a national monument, this delightful boutique hotel has a glorious roof terrace overlooking the Spanish Steps, rooms with period décor and was once home to Hans Christian Andersen.

The rooms and suites feature stylish modern décor blended with antiques and original works of art and frescoes. Some have a balcony overlooking the Spanish Steps. The atmosphere of The Inn at the Spanish Steps Hotel is almost club-like, intimate yet friendly and welcoming to families.

Step out of the front door of The Inn at the Spanish Steps where designer boutiques selling Italy’s famous names such as Armani, Ferragamo and Prada line the street. After a hectic day’s shopping, return for a pre-dinner drinks on the rooftop terrace.

The Inn at the Spanish Steps has every modern comfort with bathrooms as glamorous as they come (some with a Jacuzzi). The period elegance of the 24 rooms and eight suites is dramatised by gorgeous fabrics, antique furnishings and frescoed or beamed ceilings; some have balconies. Recently The Inn was crowned by a magnificent suite and three executive rooms, all overlooking the fabled Spanish Steps. The roof garden terrace, with its olive and lemon trees, is open all day. No wonder Andersen wrote so lyrically of the view!
