Private Homes Turned Hotels

Dating as far back as the 1500s, Il Palazzetto in Rome has been the longtime retreat of noble Roman families. Abandoned in the 1980s, the building was rediscovered by Bernardo Bertolucci, who chose it as the setting for his film The Siege in 1998. The following year, it was purchased and became sister hotel to the famed Hassler Roma, located just steps away across the piazza. Today, guests of the four rooms will find historic touches like original, multi-colored, marble flooring. Perhaps the best part? Incredible views of the iconic Spanish Steps.
