Hotel Villa Pamphili Roma
Rome is brimming with history — not to mention many centuries-old buildings and ancient ruins. And while the Eternal City is home to dozens of charming hotels housed in older structures, some folks prefer a more contemporary place to rest their head, complete with modern amenities, sleek rooms and suites, and trend-forward food and drink offerings. Enter Hotel Villa Pamphili Roma, which seamlessly merges old and new in a somewhat secluded location that feels worlds away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Ahead, our full review.
What You Need to Know
The Look of Hotel Villa Pamphili Roma
Flanked by lush greenery, Hotel Villa Pamphili Roma gets its name from the quiet neighboring park, Villa Doria Pamphili. The sleek interiors, designed by London-based architecture firm Dexter Moren Associates, are equally tranquil. The reception area features a multicolored tile wall plus pops of greenery in the form of leafy palms and houseplants. The main gathering spot, the all-day Bar Rendez-V, features plenty of colorful seating — some with palm-printed cushions as an homage to its surroundings — along with striking light fixtures and an elegant black marble-topped bar. There’s also the super swanky Terrazza Pamphili rooftop bar (pro tip: Arrive well before golden hour to beat the crowds and enjoy aperitivos and some of the best views in Rome), and the main restaurant, Ristorante Acquaviva, which serves traditional Italian staples for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a laid-back, sun-drenched setting.
Spread over five floors, the hotel’s 235 rooms are designed to serve as serene urban sanctuaries with sleek lines, plenty of natural light, and some sort of pop of color in the form of an accent wall, paneling, and/or seating. Regardless of the category, each accommodation offers a touch of the outdoors (think: beautiful blooms, plants, or, in some cases, walls painted with plants) plus a private balcony overlooking either the surrounding Valle dei Casali, the hotel’s swimming pool, or the park at Villa Doria Pamphili.
