Hassler Roma
The self-styled “stairway to heaven” boasts fine views of the eternal city





Placed right at the top the iconic Spanish Steps with outstanding widescreen views of the eternal city, the Hassler exudes Roman atmosphere like perhaps no other hostelry. Its 92 unique guest rooms and suites are citadel-like lodgings featuring Murano chandeliers and Venetian lamps, alongside fine mood-creating pieces such as paintings and mosaics.
Indulge too in the famous Italian cuisine at five restaurants and bars, including the Michelin-starred Imàgo, which dishes out regional fare served to landmark-filled panoramas, and the characteristically elegant Salone Eva with its menu of afternoon tea twinned with handmade delicacies. Guests may also luxuriate at the Amorvero SPA and receive massages designed to “bring wellness through the senses”, while if you're after a trim or new-looking locks then be pampered by Rossano Ferretti at his HairSpa.
