Hassler Roma: Historic Spanish Steps grand palace atop Piazza Trinità dei Monti with Michelin-Starred Imàgo and rooftop vistas

Reigning with supreme aristocratic majesty at the absolute pinnacle of the iconic Spanish Steps on Piazza Trinità dei Monti in the historic heart of Rome, Italy (commanding 360-degree panoramic views of Saint Peter’s Basilica, the Pantheon, and the Roman skyline, 30 minutes from Rome Fiumicino Airport), Hassler Roma opened in 1893 as Rome’s premier family-owned luxury grand palace (under the legendary stewardship of the Wirth family). Rich in over 130 years of royal heritage hosting world leaders, Hollywood royalty, and European monarchs (including Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Princess Diana), the 87-room luxury palace is an immortal symbol of Roman high elegance. Featuring the Michelin-Starred panoramic rooftop dining institution Imàgo on the 6th floor, the enchanting Hassler Bistrot in the Palm Court garden, the classic Hassler Bar, and the serene Amorvero Spa, this property is Rome’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Roman aristocratic grandeur and Spanish Steps splendour: liveried Hassler Concierges greet guests beneath classical neoclassical porticos at the top of the Spanish Steps before entering the gleaming marble lobby with Venetian crystal chandeliers, antique gilded mirrors, and chilled Italian Prosecco with fresh Roman almond biscotti. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Rome historical, artistic, and couture pursuits: descending the Spanish Steps directly into Via Condotti to shop Bulgari, Valentino, and Prada (steps away), private VIP after-hours guided tours of the Colosseum and Vatican Museums (10 minutes away), walking through the Villa Borghese gardens and Borghese Gallery (5 minutes away), swimming in the rooftop hydrotherapy vitality baths, indulging in Roman botanical and thermal therapies at Amorvero Spa, sipping Bellinis at the Hassler Bar, and reserving dinner at Michelin-Starred Imàgo.

Palace living balances active Eternal City discovery with serene rooftop wellness: Amorvero Spa features private luxury treatment suites, Roman steam rooms, saunas, relaxation rooftop sun decks, and therapies utilizing organic Italian olive oils and thermal botanicals. Dining is an extraordinary Michelin-starred Italian culinary summit: contemporary Italian gastronomy at Michelin-Starred Imàgo on the 6th floor (featuring red shrimp ravioli, Roman pigeon, and Italian Grand Crus), garden dining at Hassler Bistrot, cocktails at Hassler Bar, and in-room royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 87 rooms and luxury executive suites styled in classical Roman boiserie, Venetian silk fabrics, and oversized windows framing the Spanish Steps or Saint Peter’s Dome ranging from 28 to 330 square metres. Each residence features dedicated 24-hour concierge service, plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom amenities.
