Portrait Suites
Owned by the Salvatore Ferragamo family, better known for their exquisite shoe creations, this is an equally exquisite pied-à-terre that overlooks the designer-lined street of Via Condotti. It's not a hotel but an intimate residence, with only 14 studios and suites (each with a sleek kitchenette). Ideal for privacy-loving fashionistas, there's a personal feel that you won't get in a hotel. There's a stunning roof terrace that feels like an outdoor living room, with views over Via Condotti, Rome's rooftops and up to the Spanish Steps.

Aleph Hotel
Hell and heaven are the themes of this otherworldly Adam D Tihany-designed hotel, set in what used to be a bank not far from the Via Veneto. The entrance hall, restaurant and bar are fiery red, the rooftop terrace has pure white armchairs and sunshades. The pared-down elegance of the bedrooms is inspired by 1930s and '40s design and have blown-up photos of Roman sights, TVs in the bathrooms, and huge beds.

Hotel Locarno
Close to Piazza del Popolo, the classy yet moderately priced Locarno dates back to 1925. It's full of atmospheric art deco details, from its rattling cage lift to the wood-polished bar. Each of its sometimes subdued 68 rooms and suites (the latter are in a new luxury wing) is uniquely decorated with discreet antiques and coordinated Liberty-style wallpaper and fabrics.
