At a glance
The Rome EDITION occupies a former 1940s Italian Rationalist bank building steps from Via Veneto and the Spanish Steps. Conceived by Ian Schrager in collaboration with designer Patricia Urquiola, it brought a design-led approach to a city better known for its historic palazzos and grand hotel traditions.
The interiors run through light oak panelling, linen textiles, travertine and bronze detailing, with a courtyard garden of over 400 plants at the centre of the property and a seventh floor rooftop with a plunge pool and views across the Roman skyline.
Four bars and restaurants have made it as relevant to Romans as it is to guests, which in a city this attached to its own institutions, says something.
Highlights
- Former 1940s Italian Rationalist bank building in the Ludovisi neighbourhood, steps from Via Veneto and the Spanish Steps
- Anima restaurant with a courtyard garden of over 400 plants, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner
- The Roof on the seventh floor with a travertine plunge pool and panoramic city views
Accommodation
Rooms
The 74 rooms are offered across five categories, each carrying the same design language with the outlook and scale stepping up through the collection.
The Guest Room is the entry point, with city views and the full EDITION design palette. The Superior and Deluxe rooms add more space and a sitting area, while the Premiere City and Premiere City Skyline categories offer the most pronounced outlooks over the Roman rooftops.
Suites
The 17 suites each feature separate living and sleeping areas, with many looking directly over the church of San Nicola da Tolentino and the streets below.
The Loft Suite takes a double-height configuration, while the Garden View Suite looks onto the hotel’s courtyard garden of over 400 plants. The EDITION Signature Suite and Skyline Suite step up in space and outlook, the latter with views across the Roman skyline from the living room.
Penthouse Suites
At the top of the collection sit two penthouses. The EDITION Penthouse Suite and The Rome Penthouse Suite each offer panoramic views over the city and the most complete suite experience the hotel provides.

Italy
Italy is a long, narrow country running from the Alps in the north to Sicily and the Mediterranean in the south. The geography changes faster than the language. Alpine lakes (Como, Garda, Maggiore) in the north. Industrial cities, fashion and finance in Milan and Turin. The Renaissance cities of the central plain (Florence, Bologna, Siena). The capital and ancient sites in Rome. The southern coastlines of the Amalfi, Puglia and Calabria.
Our Experts
Italy is one of the best places in Europe to experience culture, food and beautiful scenery. With so much character and colour, the Amalfi Coast is a personal favourite of mine.
I never get tired of planning luxury vacations in Italy. There are so many magical cities and experiences to be enjoyed. Beaches, mountains and rolling countryside, there really is something for everyone.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

Luxury Gay Matera & Puglia Tour: Caves, Masserie & Coast
Tailor-made HolidayThere are few places in Europe quite like Matera. Carved into a limestone ravine, its ancient Sassi are a maze of cave dwellings, rock-cut churches, hidden courtyards and steep lanes that seem to fold into one another.

Luxury Gay Honeymoon in Italy: Rome & Amalfi Coast
Tailor-made HolidayItaly is one of the best destinations on the planet for a honeymoon. Rome comes first: four nights in a city where ancient history and exceptional restaurants occupy the same street. Then the Amalfi Coast for five nights, where the agenda shifts to boat trips, cliff-top dinners, and endless views over the Mediterranean. The itinerary runs nine nights across two bases, with private transfers connecting every stage.

Rome’s Gay Legacy: A Luxury LGBTQ+ Tour Through the Roman Empire
Tailor-made HolidayThe Roman Empire's relationship with sexuality was fundamentally different from the morality imposed by later Christianity. Same-sex relationships existed openly among the elite, were documented in historical records, and shaped the empire's political and cultural landscape. What's often sanitised in standard history books becomes viscerally real when you stand in the actual spaces where these emperors lived, ruled, and loved. This isn't revisionist history.
