The Regency, Rome, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel Review

I stayed here for one night in June 2022. As a write this I am still in the room.

I can definitely recommend this hotel without any reservations. I booked it on points (40k) and got upgraded to a queen deluxe with a city view and balcony.

Everything is clean and fresh smelling. The hotel still seems new.

The check in was quite efficient. I had to present my passport which was scanned. I was thanked for my ambassador membership and loyalty. I was offered three amenity options - 1000 points, a local gift (I think it was a bottle of alcohol, but I did not listen very closely) or an a la carte breakfast.. I immediately went for the breakfast option.

I have high hopes that this breakfast might compare to what used to be the finest free breakfast in the Bonvoy program - they Edition Hotel London. Unfortunately people like me ruined it for others by pigging out. :) Back on topic...

The room has plenty of outlets, USB-A ports, wall controls for tv volume, very modern climate control center, etc. The USB ports appear to have low amperage since they were very slow at charging.

The bed is comfortable.

The outdoor terrace has a city view. Nothing of note is visible, except a nearby building that must be one of the strangest mixture of architecture I have seen.

The rest of the view...

The ironing board and iron is well hidden in a "secret cupboard".

I particularly liked the shower pressure. Some people might not like the lack of a bathtub. Otherwise there were definitely plenty of towels.

The room does not have an ironing board and iron in it. However these can be requested.

There is a coffee machine and a kettle. Plus there is a free bottle of complimentary still water. The minibar and safe are also available.

THe toiletries are from the brand Salvatore Ferragamo

I was offered a free glass of Prosecco as a welcome drink in the bar. It was well received.

The hotel has a small gym next to a very charming treatment room. Considering the low number of rooms in the hotel the gym seems reasonably sized. All of the equipment looked brand new.

Room service is available until 22:00 daily.

I received a personalized not with some sweets as an in-room welcome amenity, which was a nice touch.

The hotel has a restaurant/bar in the lobby where the a la carte breakfast is served. As a hotel guest you get a voucher for 10% off dinner.

Breakfast is served from 7 - 10 each morning.

I did not eat anything. I did have an evening Aperol spritz which was quite tasty. The bartender offers olives and chips along with you drink, if yoiu choose.

The a la carte breakfast is really recommended. I will provide some pictures later.

The a la carte breakfast was unlimited as the platinum amenity. The selection and presentation was not as luxurious as I had been expecting, but what I did order was all tasty.

Trevi Fountain 16 minutes walking. I am sure some people will think that this is far, but for me it was perfect. The hotel does not feel like it is in the middle of the tourism crowds. There are so many tourist in Rome at the moment!
