“A 1920s Art Nouveau styled hotel oozing character and offering prime positioning. Spacious, beautifully designed rooms with mod-cons and excellent business facilities. The lively bar attracts a local and fun crowd. Perfect for a romantic weekend.”

Hotel review

It’s not surprising if this stylish 1920s hotel has the air of a film set about it: Swiss director Bernard Weber used it as the location for his 1978 movie ‘Hotel Locarno’, and its low-key glamour makes it a perennial favourite with artists. An impressive collection of Art Nouveau and Deco pieces furnish the reception rooms, and a birdcage lift creaks up to the distinctively decorated bedrooms.

Hotel Locarno

A hotspot for artists and creatives such as Mimmo Palladino, Enzo Cucchi and Federico Fellini since the 1960s, this Art Deco jewel remains simultaneously sceney and classic. Pre-dinner cocktails in the courtyard are guaranteed to impress even the fussiest guest.

Hotel Locarno

Hotel Locarno has bags of charm, a sterling location near the glorious Piazza del Popolo, and it’s not unreasonably priced.
