"Marriott invested 40 million euro into renovating this formerly faded property, reimagining it for today with light-filled communal spaces and plenty of glitz. It’s no surprise that well-heeled professionals love the opulence of this grand hotel—not to mention its proximity to Rome’s major sites. First opened in 1894 as "The Grand," the St. Regis was Rome's first true luxury hotel—and it's a mantel the property still holds fast to. Luxury suites feature a myriad of original artwork from the private collections of important contemporary artists, including Luca Pignatelli, Ubaldo Bartolini, and Paolo Fiorentino. Even smaller touches, including Murano glass lamps and original frescos, give each set of rooms their own style and feel." - Maresa Manara
