I love being the point of reference for many people, but often I find myself not having much time to compile a personalized list of fav places for everyone that asks. So here is my general list, applicable to all. If you have questions of want to personalize the list, drop me a line or a comment:
Accommodation:
Grand Hotel La Minerve: expensive and beautiful, with a great location right behind the Pantheon. This hotel also has a great roof terrace bar
Casa Howard: I had the chance to meet the owners once, and immediately I realized the genius behind the place. Each room is different, and each one is beautiful. Here you will feel like a noble living in your own Roman palazzo.
Hotel Locarno: hip and at the same time quietly old school. Right by Piazza del popolo. I like the fact that they have bycicles available for guests to use.
Ferragamo Portrait Suites: only 14 rooms (or a few more) but each one "dressed to the nines" in full Ferragamo syle. This boutique (literally) hotel is right by the shop in via Condotti: shop and sleep. The concierce service here is incredible and so is the rooftop with American bar.
Nicola's Inn:around the corner from our office, right by the Forum, this is a great B&B that mixes Italian hospitality with American efficiency. The owners are an Italian-American couple residing in Rome. Rooms are spic and span clean, a bit spartan but great value for price
Hotel Il Grifo: In the heart of Monti, small old school hotel. The location is great, the staff friendly and in general the feel of it is good.
The Beehive: perfect if you are on a budget. It reinvents the whole concept of hostel and budget hotel making you forget of all you bad back packing experience. The owners are Americans living in Rome and they have made their budget hotel a little oasis in the area around the station
My apartment: this is for my friends. You can always crash on our sofa..just don't touch Mr. R's books:-)
