More photosROMEO 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.
What makes this property truly remarkable is its status as a living museum. During restoration, 2,000-year-old Roman ruins were discovered beneath the foundations. The hotel integrated these archaeological treasures into its design, even creating an indoor pool that floats above the ancient remains. Guests can also admire a curated art collection that spans from antiquity to contemporary masterpieces by icons like Mario Schifano.
The hotel’s commitment to excellence extends to its gastronomy, with the on-site Il Ristorante Alain Ducasse bringing world-class culinary art to the heart of the city. For a more relaxed experience, the rooftop terrace, La Terrazza, offers an exclusive setting to enjoy Champagne while taking in panoramic views of Rome’s historic skyline.
Location-wise, you are perfectly positioned near the iconic Piazza del Popolo. Being in the city’s historic center puts you within easy walking distance of major landmarks such as the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, and the luxury boutiques of the Spanish Steps. It serves as an exquisite, tranquil base for exploring the endless layers of the Eternal City.
Expert reviews
“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.”
“The second hotel in the Naples-based Romeo Collection group lies steps from Piazza del Popolo and offers striking interior design in the shell of a 16th-century patrician mansion. The superb facilities include a fabulous Sisley spa, Alain Ducasse restaurant and a large internal garden with heated pool. Prices, it must be said, are staggering.”
“Located within Rome’s Tridente, Romeo Roma is a palimpsest of periods in which the late Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid left her avant-garde mark.”

Palazzo Scanderbeg is a hidden gem tucked into a quiet square just steps away from the bustling Trevi Fountain. Dating back to the 15th century, the building was originally the residence of the Albanian national hero George Castriot, known as Scanderbeg, who settled there in 1466.
