Why It Matters
One of Zaha Hadid's last completed projects. The pool has a glass floor through which you can see the excavated ruins of the ancient Port of Ripetta. Alain Ducasse chose ROMEO Roma for his first and only restaurant in Rome. The piano nobile suites retain 17th-century frescoes.
ROMEO Roma is a 5-star boutique hotel inside the 16th-century Palazzo Capponi, a short walk from Piazza del Popolo. Zaha Hadid Architects shaped the interiors — all fluid curves, Carrara marble, and Macassar ebony — layered over a building that still has original Renaissance frescoes on its piano nobile and genuine Roman ruins beneath the pool. Alain Ducasse runs the restaurant here, his first in Rome, and the whole package adds up to something genuinely unlike any other hotel in the city.

How you'll actually spend your days.
During restoration, ancient walls and artifacts dating back approximately 2,000 years were discovered beneath the hotel, including the remains of the ancient Port of Ripetta. Guests can view these ruins — most dramatically through the transparent pool floor. Among the finds: a marble portrait head of Livia Drusilla, wife of Emperor Augustus.
The hotel is a functioning art gallery, with works by Mario Schifano, Francesco Clemente, Mimmo Paladino, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Igor Mitoraj, Luca Pignatelli, and others spread across the public spaces and rooms. Self-guided exploration is part of staying here.
Exclusive special dinner events in Il Cortile garden, bringing together Executive Chef Iacopo Iualè (Alain Ducasse kitchen) and Diego Vitagliano (contemporary pizza). Seasonal event — check with hotel for current programming.
Thursday and Sunday evenings, La Terrazza opens for a rooftop aperitivo with Krug Champagne, signature cocktails, and selected appetizers. Panoramic views over Piazza del Popolo and the city roofline. Open to non-guests on these evenings.
