Hotel Vilòn

Steps from Rome’s famous Spanish ones, Hotel Vilòn is an elegant, art-filled boutique retreat in the shadow of the Palazzo Borghese. Esteemed neighbours aside, this former boarding school has been transformed into a small-scale hotel with just 18 rooms. Several of them overlook the Palazzo’s secret gardens; nab one with a furnished terrace suspended over them. The all-day bar extends out to the courtyard in fine weather, and you don’t have to wait for the bell to ring for the fun to start (first orders are taken at 10.30am). Don’t be fooled by the bistro’s Adelaide moniker: there’s nothing Antipodean about this seasonal Roman fare.

The hotel is in the historic heart of Rome, close to all of the big players, including the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the flashy boutiques of the Via del Corso.
