Rhinoceros - Art Gallery Apartments with Rooftop Restaurant and Ancient Rome Views
Located steps from the Colosseum, this 5-star Rome hotel integrates a contemporary art gallery with 25 design apartments. The Rhinoceros property features apartments with home automation systems, Bang & Olufsen TVs, and fully equipped kitchens containing refrigerators, stovetops, and dishwashers. Each unit includes L'Occitane toiletries, double-paned windows, and designer furnishings by Vitra and Cassina. The building's top floor houses Caviar Kaspia Roma restaurant, complemented by three outdoor terraces offering panoramic city views. Chef Giovanni Giammarino prepares refined Italian dishes, while sommelier Alessia Meli curates an extensive wine collection. Two adjoining apartments accommodate up to four guests, and art installations regularly occupy the Sole and Luna courtyards. The property stands within a 10-minute walk of the Roman Forum and Circus Maximus, and 15 minutes from Piazza Venezia.
Pros
Double-paned windows ensure quiet nights despite the central location
Three rooftop terraces provide spectacular views of ancient Rome
Award-winning sommelier curates an extensive Italian and international wine list
Regular art installations and performances in the building's courtyards
Cons
Limited breakfast options with basic cereal, juice, and yogurt selections
Not all apartments are accessible by elevator
“In my opinion, this hotel is a standout in Rome, especially for its bold blend of historical architecture and contemporary design. The rooftop restaurant, Caviar Kaspia, undoubtedly elevates the dining scene with its panoramic views. I find that the personalized service, from welcome gifts to curated concierge attention, speaks to a high level of care.”
