Hassler Roma

The Hassler has sat at the top of the Spanish Steps since 1893, which gives it one of the most enviable addresses in Rome and one of the most photographed views in the world — the entire city unfolds from the roof terrace. Owned and managed by the Wirth family for five generations, it has the personal touch that chain-managed hotels rarely achieve. The Palm Court garden, hidden behind the building, is one of Rome's best-kept secrets. 87 rooms, Michelin-starred Imàgo restaurant on the sixth floor, and a guest book that includes every American president since Eisenhower.
