A strikingly stylish retreat in the heart of Rome’s historic centre, The First Roma Arte Hotel offers a peaceful, residential ambience that feels worlds away from the city’s crowds. Its prime location ensures effortless access to iconic landmarks, including the Spanish Steps just a ten-minute walk away, as well as the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and Villa Borghese, all within easy reach.
On entering the lobby, it is evident that art defines this hotel. The space is elegantly adorned with contemporary works, evoking the feel of a gallery. The art goes beyond decoration; it’s integral to the hotel’s character, with each piece thoughtfully chosen to enrich the mood, with some available for purchase.
The bedrooms and suites have a minimalist yet warm aesthetic – clean lines, neutral tones and high-quality materials that create an atmosphere of understated elegance.
For dining, the hotel is home to the two-Michelin-starred Acquolina. For a more relaxed setting, the Acquaroof rooftop garden offers panoramic views of Rome. It’s where breakfast is served and it’s open in the evening for drinks, providing the perfect spot from which to catch the sun setting over the city after a long day exploring. There is also a small lounge bar off the reception area should you wish to grab a quiet drink or coffee.
The concierge and staff are exceptionally welcoming, always greeting guests with a friendly smile. They are more than happy to offer recommendations, from the best local restaurants to must-visit spots in Rome, ensuring a personalised experience.
The First Roma Arte Hotel is more than just a place to stay – it’s a celebration of art and design. Its location, décor and artistic focus make it a compelling choice for travellers seeking a culturally enriching and tranquil retreat in the Eternal City.
