Roman Elegance Above the Spanish Steps

Hotel de la Ville sits on Via Sistina, just above the Spanish Steps and within easy walking distance of the Trevi Fountain, Villa Borghese and Rome’s main shopping streets. You’re firmly in the heart of the city, making it a strong choice if you want to combine sightseeing with a few rounds at one of the excellent courses just outside Rome.

The hotel occupies an 18th-century palazzo, but the interiors feel fresh and confident rather than overly traditional. Expect bold colours, patterned fabrics and a lively, upscale atmosphere. Rooms and suites are comfortable and well finished, with marble bathrooms, quality linens and good soundproofing considering the central location.

Dining is a real highlight. The rooftop restaurant and bar offer panoramic views across Rome, making it one of the hotel’s standout features, especially in the evening. There’s also a stylish bistro and a relaxed lounge for drinks. The Irene Forte Spa adds another layer, with treatment rooms, a vitality pool, sauna and gym – useful after travel or a day exploring the city. Service is attentive but natural, not overly formal.

Why Play at Hotel de la Ville?

For many golfers, the appeal is balance. You can spend the morning threading drives through parkland fairways outside the city, then return to panoramic rooftop views and a proper Roman dinner. It’s a refined base, but never stuffy. The Irene Forte Spa is a welcome bonus after a long round, with its vitality pool and sauna easing travel and tired legs alike. Location matters too. You’re within walking distance of iconic sights and great shopping, which makes it ideal for couples or small groups mixing golf with culture.
