Ask someone from Baglioni Hotel Regina to define the aesthetic of the property and he might say something along the lines of “sophisticated elegance” or “classic sumptuousness.” What that translates to you is a marriage of timeless fabrics, original furnishings and Murano chandeliers that meshes in a wondrous way.
After the well-dressed doorman, the second thing you’re greeted by at Baglioni Hotel Regina is a statue of Neptune. The Roman god of the sea may never utter a word, but his presence near the wrought-iron staircase announces that the Italian Art Nouveaux movement will proudly be on display at this 1904-built treasure.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- A lobby with marble from Sicily sits next to an eclectic lounge proudly sporting leopard-print chairs, and it all harmonizes.
- From an enviable position at Via Veneto and Via Liguria, guests of the Rome hotel can see quaint cafés up and down the streets.
- Though Baglioni Spa by Caschera Spa features just two massage rooms, a sauna, a Turkish bath and a Jacuzzi, designers were precise about their moves, filling spaces with dark brown woods, cream walls and stunning plant silhouettes.
- If you were aiming to make your stay a once-in-a-lifetime experience, splurge on the new Roman Penthouse from Milan-based interior design firm Rebosio and Spagnulo.
- One of the area’s best bets for lunch or dinner is right on property — Brunello Lounge and Restaurant.

The Rooms
- Rooms range from the traditional,
269-square-foot superior to more art-deco-inspired, 645-square-foot suites —
yet every lamp and gilded mirror fits fabulously.
- In the Roman Penthouse, your senses are taken on a
ride through sight (a massive TV screen looks like a mirror), smell (Acqua
dell’Elba incense sticks) and feel (velvet-smooth couches). Three bedrooms
dazzle in typical fashions (fine linens, brocaded pillows) and unexpected ones
(upholstered closets).
The Restaurants
- Brunello Lounge and Restaurant’s
romantic vibe is set with dark-hued walls, black-and-white photos and
Moroccan-influenced lamps.
- Chef Luciano Sarzi Sartori’s robust
menu of Mediterranean flavors (codfish-stuffed ravioli, beef with Chianti white
sauce or lamb loin with sautéed chicory) only heightens the restaurant’s mood.
- After dinner, slide on over to the connecting
lounge for a nightcap (or night starter, depending on when you come down from
your room). Your eyes will be immediately drawn to eclectic furniture and light
fixtures, but after seeing the list of creative cocktails, you won’t stop
gawking at the goings-on behind the bar.
