Luxury Hotels - 5* hotel for group in Rome

Hello everyone,

we are looking for a luxury hotel in Rome (close to Piazza Navona) for a group of around 20 rooms. After Navona Palace (Wow: bad service) or Hotel Raphael I am running out of ideas. Can anyone think of another good option?
Thanks in advance,
baldes

EUR 330 (+VAT) per person/day at Il Pellicano for a minimum of 20 participants. [=€6600] This rate includes single use double accommodation, breakfast, light lunch and 1 coffee break
very interesting, i wonder how often properties do this during seasonal closures

La Posta Vecchia is FAR outside Rome. OP asked for hotel close to Piazza Navona. I have only stayed in hotel Raphael in that area, but it is so many years ago that I cannot say anything about how it is now.

indeed interesting, but i guess always possible if the money is right? :)

unfortunately these hotels are too far outside Rome. I am more looking for hotels within close proximity to Piazza Navona. It's a difficult area to find a hotel for us (historical old town, therefore not a lot of hotels with more than 40 rooms). I am sure there is a flyertalker who knows more :cool:

The St Regis ?

Hotel Raphael

Raphael >

we usually stay at the Raphael which is a bit rough around the edges but has a great location
Did you try Hotel Raphael? It's a Relais & Chateaux.

Raphael and La Posta Vecchia >

OK, so you will have to compromise. Try hotel Raphael in Rome - small and not perfect by any means, but OK. If you can consider being just outside Rome, then try Park Hotel Villa Grazioli, or my favourite, La Posta Vecchia (about 30 mins drive from centre). Depends on whether you are there for leisure or business. If business, then obviously no good.

La Posta Vecchia >

Luxury hotel with an art museum

The Posta Vecchia in Palo Laziale near Rome springs to mind.

This Michelin starred Relais & Chateaux is built on the reminds of a Roman villa and under the reception there are the original mosaics with a museum like Roman art display. Amazing place!

Aman-I-Khas...truly outstanding shower, the water pressure was “just right” – the only other such experience I had was in the spa at the Posta Vecchia

5* hotel
luxury hotel
good option

(here are five particularly strong comments re rome)

2 properties that are too small >

i do think [12 room Villa Spalletti Trivelli] is easily the best choice in Rome

plus 14 room portrait suites >

Portrait Suites...I...wouldn't stay anywhere else in Rome

Portrait Suites it a compromise I am willing to take (until a FS opens

for half the price of de Russie, I would take this any time (until, as vienna-resident said, a FS opens

2 options - Hotel de Russie or Portrait Suites. Everything else, in my experience, has you re-scheduling your flights to leave early

and tons of negative comments on russie here

More a 3 star than 5 star, but for what its worth...

My fairly picky mother, who doesnt walk well, has stayed in Albergi Caesari on two separate trips to Rome, once both before and after a cruise. She liked it. Not sure if there is a true 5 star that close to Navona, so you may have to balance proximity and stars. Mom was able to walk there easily, so any able bodied person can grab a tartuffo with minimal effort. Probably 4 stars in the US, but ratings are strict.
