More photosHotel Margutta 19 is an intimate five-star boutique retreat tucked away on Via Margutta, Rome’s legendary “artists’ street.” Housed in a beautifully restored historic palazzo, the property sits on a quiet, ivy-draped lane where legends like Federico Fellini once lived. The building’s interiors were reimagined by the Arassociati studio, which masterfully blended classic Roman architecture with sophisticated, contemporary Italian design.
The hotel feels like a secluded oasis, featuring airy suites adorned with textured plasterwork, warm wooden paneling, and elegant marble bathrooms. A standout feature is the lush, tiered private garden that slopes toward the Pincian Hill, offering a serene escape from the bustling city. Guests can enjoy traditional Italian cuisine with a modern twist at EMME, the hotel’s on-site restaurant, which spills out into this tranquil courtyard.
Its location is incredibly central yet wonderfully peaceful. You are just a short stroll from iconic landmarks like the Spanish Steps and the lush Villa Borghese park. Being situated between the Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo metro stations makes it an effortless base for exploring the city’s ancient treasures, from the Pantheon to the Vatican Museums.
Whether you are seeking a romantic getaway or a quiet base to recharge after wandering through Rome’s historic center, the hotel provides a refined and artistic atmosphere. With its blend of cinematic history, high-end design, and hidden garden charm, it offers a rare, calm experience in the heart of the Eternal City.

“Since opening in summer 2017, Margutta 19 has already become a word-of-mouth success among savvy travellers. This 16-room charmer has it all: stylish design, a prime centro storico setting with hidden garden, and a restaurant that attracts plenty of outside custom.”

Fabulous stay and worth the money!
Beautiful boutique hotel with all the necessary comforts and then some. Professional and courteous staff at every turn. Great breakfast and fabulous garden area to drink our cappuccinos and read the newspaper or browse our phones. Very good cell service inside hotel. Moments from the Spanish Steps, yet tucked into a romantic street. A luxurious bath and amazing mattress. The suite was exactly what we needed! Will stay here again when in Rome.

Relaxing hotel in the centre of Rome.
Great relaxing place to stay. Lovely staff. Quiet location yet in the heart of Rome. Our second visit.
The lighting is high tech and complicated. You can have scrambled eggs for breakfast but there is a supplemental cost for an omelette

A beautiful boutique hotel in an excellent location that is ideal for a terrific Roman Holiday
Excellent location, great service, very good breakfast. Upon checkin, we were presented a small booklet written by the owner which was an excellent personalized guide to where to go, what to see and where to eat in Rome.
The room had electronic switches and too many dimly glowing LEDs which we found too bright at night.

Best small hotel in one of the most precious corners of Rome.
We lived in Rome a few years ago, next to the hotel, and we love that corner of Rome. When we lived in Rome we ate a few times at EMME, the restaurant of the Margutta 19 Hotel, which is a great restaurant. So, for our 50th anniversary, we decided to stay for 4 days in the hotel, celebrating our jubilee with good friends from Rome. The hotel was an outstanding experience. The staff was great; Thank you, Valerio, for the coffee in the early mornings, thank you Alessandro for the efficient checkout, and thanks to the two wonderful girls at the reception who were trying so hard to make us happy and satisfied. The room was fantastic with a view of the inner garden, and the breakfast was great. In short, we will most probably come again and we cordially and unequivocally recommend this place.
None. It was perfect.

Lovely hotel in the perfect location.
Everything was fantastic. The amenities were great. The staff were super.
The only setback was the lack of view. Our window looked out on the side of the next door building.

We would return to Margutta 19 Hotel, in our near stay.
The Property extraordinary, clean , well constructed, the deco is very modern and elegant.
Really nothing. We like everything.

Would stay again in a more expensive (larger) room.
,Location, staff, breakfast, air conditioning, mattress,
Although well designed and nicely decorated I would warn that Deluxe room was incredibly small, requiring a careful shuffle at the foot of the bed to get to the bathroom. Late night visits to the W/C came with some peril!
Only one chair in the room ( and no space for another) make relaxing difficult. With no lobby or comfortable bar in the public areas options were limited

A beautiful and memorable stay at Luxury Margutta 19
Our stay at Margutta 19 hotel was nothing short of superb. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and our room with a garden view was a delightful touch. The attention to detail throughout the hotel is evident, and it feels like the general manager is personally ensuring everything is perfect. We are so happy we chose to stay here and will definitely return for future visits. A special thanks to Nabila at reception, who was amazing and incredibly helpful, making our stay even more wonderful. We can't thank her enough and the entire team!
Nothing!!! All superb

Other Rome hotels
G-Rough Hotel, Rome
G-Rough is a unique boutique hotel housed in a stunning 17th-century building just steps from Rome’s iconic Piazza Navona. Owned by Gabriele Salini, a seventh-generation Roman, the property was originally his family home. Salini transformed the historic townhouse into a "rough-luxe" sanctuary, intentionally keeping original frescoes and distressed walls exposed to create a fascinating tension between the building's ancient roots and modern artistic interventions.
New York Times + 1 more“Like a Fellini film, the G-Rough deftly balances the refined and the rugged, creating a sophisticated hotel with both a sense of place and a sense of style.”
Donna Camilla Savelli, Rome
Donna Camilla Savelli is a fascinating boutique hotel located in the heart of Rome’s vibrant Trastevere district. Originally commissioned in 1642 by the noblewoman Camilla Savelli, the building was designed by the legendary Baroque architect Francesco Borromini. For centuries, it served as a cloistered convent for nuns, and remarkably, a small group of sisters still resides in a secluded, private part of the property today.
New York Times + 1 more“Donna Camilla Savelli, in a quiet corner of Trastevere, has 78 rooms housed in a Baroque monastery with a grand staircase, courtyard garden and lots of Old World charm.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Rome.
The Inn At The Roman Forum, Rome
The Inn at the Roman Forum is easily one of the most unique places to stay in Rome. Located on a quiet side street, this boutique hotel is built directly into a private palazzo that houses a 2,000-year-old subterranean ruin. Guests can actually explore these ancient remnants, which include a gallery of stone inscriptions, right beneath the hotel’s lobby.
Frommers + 1 more“The name doesn’t lie. This small hotel is tucked down a medieval lane, on the edge of Monti and with the forums of several Roman emperors as neighbors. Its midsized rooms are sumptuously decorated.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Rome.
ROMEO Roma, Rome
ROMEO Roma is a stunning fusion of history and cutting-edge design, housed within the 16th-century Palazzo Capponi. One of the final architectural projects by the legendary Zaha Hadid, the hotel masterfully contrasts the building's Renaissance rigidity with her signature fluid, futuristic lines. It is a true sensory experience, featuring dark ebony finishes, sculptural staircases, and even original restored frescoes in some suites.
CN Traveler + 2 more“When you step into Romeo Roma, you will immediately find yourself in a truly unique place. That’s partly thanks to Zaha Hadid—there’s Carrara marble honed into bold curves, Makassar ebony, and a design reminiscent of a spaceship from the future.”
