“This plush hotel sits within a 17th-century palace designed by Italian architect Francesco Borromini overlooking Piazza Navona. Suites have a classical feel, featuring antique furnishings and luxurious linens; the best offer spectacular city views. Don't miss the rooftop terrace bar. A unique hotel.”

Hotel review

Lovers of Italian architecture, look no further - your dream hotel is here. Located in Piazza Navona, with breathtaking views over some of Rome's most renowned sights, is Eitch Borromini; the hotel sits in the Pamphilj Palace, designed in 1654 by Baroque master Francesco Borromini. Original features abound, from the dramatic staircase and high ceilings to the terracotta flagstones. Suites lead off from a red-carpeted hallway lined with artworks and fresh flowers. Rooms are dressed in a period style; expect gilded headboards, painted ceilings and plush linens. On the fourth floor the hotel hosts its own private art gallery, which sits alongside the rooftop bar and restaurant. The terrace offers a wonderful vista across the piazza and historic Rome. Overall, this is an elegant heritage hotel with a magical feel to it; step back in time with a stay here.

Eitch Borromini

Once upon a time there was a hotel called the Eitch Borromini in a 17th-century palace overlooking one of the most beautiful squares in the world. It doesn’t get more magical than this if you want a room with a view – and it’s still in fact owned by a prince.
