"This hidden gem on a quiet street near the Spanish Steps is housed in a 16th-century building annexed to the city’s opulent Palazzo Borghese. Hotel Vilòn features a bold, cinematic look by noted Roman set designer Paolo Bonfini. All 18 guest rooms are staged with dramatic lighting, and feature botanical prints, jewel-toned curtains, and marble-clad bathrooms; some have terraces that look onto Palazzo Borghese’s tranquil gardens. For even more of a theatrical flair, check into Palazzo Vilòn, the hotel’s lavish private apartment. With its frescoed ceilings, ornate moldings and gilding, and rococo furnishings, Palazzo Vilon sprawls for more than 10,000 square feet over three floors. From $900" - Erica Firpo, Laura Itzkowitz
