EDITION ROME
Designer: Ian Schrager
On Offer: Long a destination for landmark attractions such as the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, the Sistine Chapel, and more, Rome is a city lost in time—an endearing quality that makes it one of the world’s most visited places. The hotel scene mirrors that energy, but recently a flood of new properties have poured in: The W, Soho House, Six Senses, and Bulgari to name a few. Ian Schrager and his hit Edition brand have taken notice, joining the fray with a 91-room outpost.
Standout Features: Inhabiting an erstwhile 1940s Italian bank, Schrager has breathed new life into the building’s rationalist shell while preserving its historic charm, like a stunning central staircase crafted from precious cipollino marble. This new entrant is positioned steps away from the legendary Via Veneto, an area immortalized by the classic film La Dolce Vita. The signature Edition touches are all there, with new flourishes like an intimate jade-cloaked cocktail bar and chef Paola Colucci Jasmin-strewn courtyard restaurant Amina. Standouts include interpretations of classic Italian dishes like the divine Cantabrian anchovies served with bread rolls, malga butter, wild fennel, and candied lemon or the seasonal pumpkin tortellini and Dijon mustard. Another revelation? A rare rooftop pool in the Eternal City.
