Rome’s Elizabeth: boutique hotel in a townhouse

Rome’s newest boutique hotel is set in a beautifully restored 17th-century palazzo in the heart of the capital’s historic center amid the picturesque Via del Corso area. The Elizabeth Unique Hotel, offering 33 rooms, has just opened.

According to its own description, the new Elizabeth Unique Hotel “marries the Rome of yesterday with finely appointed, art-filled luxury of the moment.” The hotel combines sophisticated design and international allure.

The architects and interior designers dedicated great attention to the arched walls, lacquered wooden panels, reproduced antique wallpaper prints, canopy beds, couture fabrics, and carefully curated artwork.

The hotel is well-located, just a few minutes from the famous Spanish steps and adjacent to the city’s top restaurants and boutiques. The Elisabeth boasts a lobby and reading room warmed by an open fireplace. Designhotels.com describes the hotel’s Bar Bacharach & Bistrot as a bar and bistro open onto a terrace made of stone and wood. It is “a magical urban garden filled with the scent of jasmine—offering up the best gourmet breakfast in Rome thanks to an exquisitely researched menu that includes local and international delicacies.”
