Palazzo Talìa

What an elegant oasis in the middle of a busy city! The rooms are larger than most in Rome, and the ambience was amazing. The pool and spa was so welcome after a busy day sightseeing. The food was delicious too. Don’t hesitate to treat yourself to this lovely hotel.

Was initially hesitant about booking Palazzo Talia which had just finished renovations with few reviews and was looking at other 5 star hotels nearby. Am so happy that we ended up staying here. The hotel was a spacious peaceful retreat in the middle of busy Rome, next to the Spanish Steps. There was a lot of space to roam around at the resort with a garden courtyard, open rooms filled with statues and ceiling frescos, a spa, and bar. At the end of the day was so nice to relax at their small warm indoor pool at the spa and return our our updated Junior Suite. The customer service at breakfast was 5 stars with the attentive staff serving a 5 star breakfast of hot dishes, fruit, pastries and cheese platters. The only negative experience at this resort was when we left. I had asked the front desk of their recommendation of the best way to transfer from their hotel to the train station the night before we left. They recommended and booked a taxi. When the taxi driver arrived he was rude to me and to the hotel staff . I asked the hotel front desk staff to confirm the rate to the driver but the hotel staff replied they couldn't confirm the rate but should be around 20 euros. I asked the hotel staff if we should call a different driver ? But the hotel staff who was working at the front desk just said to go ahead with the taxi driver who then ended up charging me $35 euros which I believe should have been much less. |Prior to this transfer to the train station , the hotel experience was fabulous and would stay here again and insist on booking a private transfer to the train station.

We stayed here for 3 nights before heading out to Tuscany. Beyond lovely boutique hotel with a lot of history preserved! Delicious breakfast and amazingly friendly staff. Rooms were also pristine and cleaning staff were very thoughtful in their tidying / turn down.

Our 2 night stay was an absolute 5 star service and more from beginning to end at the stunning Palazzo Talia. ||We arrived the day after their official opening and were warmly greeted by the operations manager Ginevra and her wonderful team. ||Despite some works still ongoing and in progress it did not affect our stay at all and infact we got to experience being one of the first to be in our gorgeous room.||What stood out was the exceptional service and the professionalism from every person who we had contact with during our stay.||It was my partner’s 60th Birthday and the staff made his birthday so special and memorable by upgrading our room together with complimentary bar, surprising him with a bottle of bubbly and cake which was bought to our room by Dario and his colleague. Breakfast in our room felt like a private dining experience in itself and our food was beautifully presented by the exceptional service and warmth of the staff. Also big thanks to Dario for recommending Drink Kong and for reserving us a table at such short notice, we had some amazing cocktails.|||What features we loved about this beautiful hotel was the space and light in our room. The walk in wardrobe with full length mirrors and lights. The bathroom, particularly the shower room and bath tub was in itself so big and spacious. The queen size bed was so comfortable and so big that it felt like we were sleeping in our own beds. The room service and cleaning was carried out daily and we loved that every evening we came back to our room there was a bottle of water on our bedside tables. ||The hotel corridor leading to the bedrooms were just so stunning. We can’t wait to return to experience this beautiful hotel in its full glory.||If you want to experience luxury at its best you will not be disappointed with your stay here.||Thank you to every person who made our first experience at the Palazzo Talia so special and memorable. You really know how to make your guests feel special and so welcomed.||With warm regards|Nirmal & Marcello

Excellent hotel in the center of Rome close to everything including the Vatican. Walked everywhere! Hotel is around the corner from the Trevi Fountain and near the Spanish steps. The hotel is a historic site that has been restored but all of the history has been preserved. The rooms are excellent and 5-star quality. The most important and best part is the staff, from the bellman to the management and everyone in-between, they are so welcoming and treat you like family. We look forward to returning!

Stunning renovation of historic palazzo. Rooms are beautiful. Common spaces are extraordinary. Door staff and reception were welcoming. Service is very much a work in progress. They are not yet delivering anything close to top notch service. We requested they make a dinner reservation, and when we arrived, we found out the hotel had not even called the restaurant. Given the prices being charged—this is not ok.

Whenever we come to Europe, we always seek out boutique hotels with rare quality as it adds so much to our experience. Although we have stayed in many quality boutique hotels over the years, we seldomly write reviews. However, we were thoroughly impressed the minute we arrived at Palazzo Talia, a 26 room gem situated in the original private residence of Secretary to the Pope. The halls to our room are graced with original sculptures of historic figures, backlit like a museum. WOW! You have to see for yourself to appreciate the awesome experience. The staffs made it especially memorable experience for us, from Front Desk Manager (Fabrizio), Martin booking us the restaurants, taxi, to Operation Manager (Ms. G) arranging every small details of our request, to a surprise birthday cake at my breakfast by the restaurant team (sorry, I forgot his name).. We experienced Rome again in a total different lights because all the thoughtful arrangements from the team, on top of the one-of-a-kind hotel setting. THANK YOU team Palazzo Talia, we are writing this at our airport lounge, and we miss you guys and Rome already :)

Don't know what they're doing here. A hotel of only 26 rooms and a staff of what must be 100 people can't get a room ready by the promised 3:00pm. Instead, the lobby is littered with weary travellers being ignored and snickered about by staff at the front desk. If you dare politely ask on a status of your room, you're snidely dismissed and they just turn away from you. Front desk team are useless and snotty. For $1k-$2k a night, this spot must do way better instead of trying to coast on the tails of its director-founder's fame. Do not recommend at all.
