In brief

What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 23:30. Late arrivals after 23:30 may need to arrange special access.
  • Early check-out hour — Check-out begins at 05:00 but ends at 11:00, which is earlier than many luxury hotels. Guests who prefer a late departure may find it restrictive.
  • Premium room rates — Starting at £504 per night, the hotel sits at the higher end of Rome's 5-star market. The price reflects the central location and Relais & Châteaux branding but may not suit all budgets.
