We recently stayed at the Portrait and absolutely loved it. Beautiful rooms and great service. It is a very small hotel but in a wonderful location by the Spanish Steps. We had breakfast and pre dinner drinks on the rooftop every night. I highly recommend.
We had a lunch at the De La Ville which also looked great and stopped buy the Hassler one night for a cocktail with friends and were impressed with it as well.

By the end of the year, the Edition and Six Senses should also be open. Great additions the Roman hotel scene.
I have stayed at St. Regis, wouldn’t return. Location, service, f&b all more than underwhelming.

I still think the Cavalieri is a great hotel - and my favorite because it is *not* in the city, but up on a hill over looking Rome. You can take the hotel shuttle into the city, or just take a quick taxi ride - which is fast and under $20 each way to/from the city.

There is no comparison to the StR.

The Cavalieri is a dreadful, ugly hotel with a lobby that is a zoo where the bellboys yell out flight numbers for countless guests awaiting their airport transfers. The pool, while located within a garden, has Cabanas that overlook the building and its delightful Satellite antenna.

Currently at the Portrait. Not much to add to previous stays - excellent property. Room finishes & details are excellent. Bathroom, walk-in closet/changing area with a steam room & its own gym equipment including a bike is down a flight of stairs.

Stayed at StR in 2009, so experience is dated. I'm one of the few who thinks the location is quite good.

Luxury Hotel prices in Rome (or elsewhere in Italy) for decent rooms are around or at least €1000 per night (Spet/Oct). Any recommendations for less that that?

That's the price tag today. Sure, for example some very decent hotels in Tuscany charge less, but things are expensive today.

Been at The Aleph the past few days and things are much better in Rome than when i was last here in January but still not great. Had dinner at a place on Via Sardegna- emptied out at 2030 and walked back to hotel. Hardly any traffic on Via Veneto, the big hotels were quiet, only cafe open was Harry’s. Empty storefronts. Know La Dolce Vita days are long gone but this was depressing
