“This intimate, five-star hotel occupies a former 17th-century palace on the elegant Via Giulia, Rome. Rooms are contemporary with hand-selected artisanal and design pieces; a warm palette adds a homely feel to the suites. Sample modern takes on Italian classics at the restaurant. An inviting hotel.”

Hotel review

Via Giulia is one of the most elegant streets in Rome's city centre; set away from the noisy nightlife of Campo de’ Fior, it is still a stone's throw from the Vatican and the Basilica, making it a perfect location for more refined visitors to this chaotic and beautiful capital. D.O.M Hotel sits on Via Giulia in a historic building that has had many iterations; first a palace, then a Claretian monastery, it is now home to this intimate, five-star hotel. The hotel name is an abbreviation of Deo Optimo Maximo, an inscription on the neighbouring Santa Lucia del Gonfalone church, a nod to the legacy of the hotel's surroundings. D.O.M oozes decadence; rooms are dressed in warm tones of crushed velvet while chandeliers adorn the hallways; expect Italian soft furnishings and international art pieces. Guests can enjoy forward-thinking Italian cuisine at the hotel restaurant, now with Michelin-starred chef Alessio Tagliaferri at its head. The bar is a cosy, low-lit affair with excellent cocktails. At just 18 rooms, this difference with D.O.M is that it's a luxury hotel which manages to feel both intimate and romantic; an indulgent city break.

DOM Hotel

The hotel, situated along the cobblestoned stretch of Rome's elegant Via Giulia, has an urban-gothic vibe that dovetails perfectly with the grandeur of the neighbouring Renaissance churches and palazzi. The sophisticated boudoir-noir style of the bar, restaurant, and rooms make this a favourite among fashionistas.
