Residenza Napoleone III - A 16th-century palazzo with imperial suites, antique furnishings, and a rooftop garden in Rome's fashion district
Located within the historic Palazzo Ruspoli on central Via del Corso, this exclusive Rome hotel occupies a whole city block in the heart of the fashion shopping district. Dating to 1556, the Residenza Napoleone III features two distinctive accommodations: the Napoleone Suite with two reception rooms and a large bedroom, and the 592 ft^2 Roof Garden Suite with panoramic city views. The Napoleone Suite showcases 16th-century tapestries, hand-stenciled walls, parquet floors, and original oil paintings, while the Roof Garden Suite includes a terrace adorned with terracotta pots of lavender. Each morning, guests receive an organic continental breakfast served on Bvlgari silver, featuring homemade cakes, fresh pastries, and local cheeses. The property stands within 1640.4 ft of the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain, with the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo located 0.5 miles away.
Pros
Owned by Prince Pietro and Letizia Ruspoli, featuring their family's historical furnishings and artworks
Complimentary bottle of Chianti from the Ruspoli's Tuscan estate upon arrival
Private marble bathroom concealed behind an oil painting
Original baby cot decorated with delicate lace available at no extra cost
Cons
The Blue Room is only available when booked with the Napoleone Suite
No on-site fitness facilities or spa services
“This historic palazzo, centrally located near the Spanish Steps, impressed me as a luxe retreat. The suites are spacious and individually decorated, but the rooftop terrace truly seals the deal with its panoramic views. I was particularly struck by the personalized service, especially the option for a private breakfast on the roof.”
