On 1st July 2019, luxury hotel Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese reopened its doors following extensive renovations and a complete re-design by French contemporary architect and interior designer, Jean-Philippe Nuel. Located in the heart of Rome, minutes away from the city’s finest attractions and landmarks, Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese evokes the feel of a traditional Roman home with a laid-back atmosphere and a sense of being truly immersed in the Italian capital. Architecture & Design Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese is situated in a former 19th century Roman palazzo and its original features stood as a prominent stimulant for Nuel’s vision. The landscape gardens of the adjacent Villa Borghese further inspired the new look of nature-based colours, prints and furnishings. The overall design of the hotel is a fusion of ‘La Dolce Vita’ Italian heritage with contemporary French ‘Art de Vivre’, creating a dialogue between the elegance of French classicism and the opulence of Italian baroque, but also between city and nature, heritage and modernity. This is showcased through crisp, pastel colours and Italian heritage art. The downstairs public spaces revolve around statement pieces such as the marble mosaic floor contrasting with the building's original chequered tiles. Rooms & Suites The hotel features a total of 78 rooms and suites and each have exquisite interiors and detailing throughout; Baroque-inspired ceiling art that creates the illusion of a blue sky above, a signature Sofitel MyBed* bed, and a marble bathroom complete with Hermès toiletries. The hotel offers a wide range of accommodation categories, from superior One-bedroom, to the 538 square-feed Prestige King-bedroom Suites. The seven Prestige Suites, some with private terraces, all come with luxurious amenities – leather key cardholders, a choice of room fragrance, indulgent bath rituals, and monogrammed pillowcases. All 78 rooms and suites have access to 24-hour room service. Restaurant & Bar The crown jewel of the hotel, situated on the seventh floor, is the restaurant and bar, ‘Settimo’. One of the highest rooftop restaurants in the city, Settimo is an elegant botanical escape that offers panoramic views of the Villa Borghese gardens, The Vatican City and St. Peter’s Basilica. It displays bold interiors and seats up to 50 guests indoors and 15 on the terrace. Cocktail enthusiasts at Settimo can enjoy sundowners with a view, with one of Settimo’s signature drinks, which comes with specially paired finger food. Settimo serves contemporary Roman dishes using locally sourced ingredients, such as the Supplì alla Romana, Cacio e Pepe and Rigatoni Amatriciana. The Executive Chef, Giuseppe D’Alessio, incorporates traditional Roman culinary styles with his signature flair across the menu. After his studies at the Institute Hotelier and wide experience in various parts of Italy, D’Alessio refined his culinary skills across Europe, working in the restaurants of luxury hotels in England, France and Germany – two of which have received Michelin Stars. D’Alessio arrived in Rome in 2004, for a prestigious position at the famous restaurant, La Terrazza dell’Eden, where he worked alongside the Executive Chef. Meetings and Events The hotel has three meetings rooms, which can host up to a maximum capacity of 40 people, or a maximum banquet capacity of 20 people. The meeting rooms and welcoming lounge can be adapted for events, banquets, cocktail evenings or even private receptions. The hotel’s Meeting concierge are on hand to guide an option of activities and visits, as well as suggesting tailor-made menus, from wine tasting to French patisserie. The hotel is also a popular business centre in the heart of room with boutique secretarial services. Fitness and Wellness The hotel offers guests a fitness centre, which is equipped with a Techno-gym and Sofitel Fit wellness programmes. Location Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese is ideally located in the heart of Rome, by the gates of the Villa Borghese gardens and just minutes away from landmarks such as The Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and Villa Medici, making it a perfect choice for those looking to be truly immersed in the Eternal City. The hotel is also only 32km away from Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, allowing guests to travel with great ease.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A true pleasure to come back each year at the Sofitel Villa Borghese Roma. Just expect perfection, from the kindness of all staff members, the cleanliness of the room, the delicious rooftop breakfast. All this in a wonderful palace decorated with style and beautiful rooms with utmost comfortable beds. Looking forward to come back next year! Thank you for the great memories, again!

It's hard to be a "best" in a city of thousands of properties, but I would place the Borghese Sofitel amongst them! Location is great; walking distance to the Borghese Museum, Spanish Steps, Trevi, Forum/Coliseum, and a short drive to the Vatican. Service is impeccable and I spent hours in the rooftop restaurant. We will be back!!

An excellent hotel, well placed for the gardens of the Villa Borghese. Great restaurant on the top floor with a wide view across the terrace. We had a fine room, well proportioned with elegant decorations. Great staff and a good breakfast. Highly recommended.

My experience at Hotel Sofitel Roma was far from what one would expect from a 5-star establishment. The hotel's inability to provide tour services, especially in a city like Rome, which is rich in historical and cultural sites, was baffling and unacceptable. As guests at a luxury hotel, we expected comprehensive services, including assistance with arranging tours to prominent attractions. This significant shortcoming greatly diminished the quality of our stay. It's preposterous for a hotel of this supposed standard to neglect such a crucial aspect of the guest experience.

I always have the best memories from this hotel. The reason is the staff and level of service. There is not a single minus in our stay. Breakfast is beyond all praise, and when the entire management serves you, it’s pure bliss!!!! At breakfast, the level of service is simply off the charts; management wants to fulfill all your taste preferences. Thank you very much for the warm welcome. The room is large and spacious. The bed is super comfortable. Very clean and warm.

Booked a twin room as travelling with a friend. When we got to the room we decided maybe we should each have our own room. The front desk staff were super accommodating and although they were having their computer system upgraded that day which caused them extra work to help us they did not flinch. In fact I was taken to the 6th floor to see some bigger rooms (which were absolutely gorgeous) but in the end we decided to just get an additonal room of the same category. My room was beautifully decorated, spacious with lots of hanging space and drawers ( I travel with lots of clothes and shop along the way), a coffee maker and tea kettle was provided, water, mini bar etc. The bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I have slept in...some days I didn't want to get up out of it. Everything was kept spotlessly clean. The bathroom was lovely and a good size. We absolutely loved the rooftop terrace, had drinks there, lunch another day, all food and beverages were delicious and the view just can't be beat. I have stayed in 4 other locations in Rome and this one is pretty hard to top. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious and coffee was very good. We did find some nearby coffee bars for breakfast some days when we just wanted coffee and a cornetto. Massimo was excellent in booking us great restaurants for dinner, he was unfailingly pleasant and friendly, a real credit to the hotel. The entire staff is a credit to Sofitel, every single person we encountered from the doormen to the wait staff in the restaurant to the front desk staff was helpful, pleasant and kind. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

I just finished my second weeklong stay at this excellent hotel. What a perfect experience! Quiet, welcoming, elegant are three words that come to mind. Food and service are outstanding. The dining room has one of the best views in Rome. It remains the best run hotel I have ever visited. I also recommend the Accor loyalty program. This is the only place I would stay in Rome. Location is near the Villa Borghese. It is a tranquil, convenient retreat.

Stayed 3 nights for our 30th wedding anniversary and was impressed from the moment we entered. Front desk and concierge provided polite and incredible service. The rooftop dining - breakfast buffet was the best we've ever had with French press coffee, variety of pastries, fruit, meat/cheese platter with pancakes or omelet service. Our room had a beautiful view and was very spacious. Located near Villa Borghese park (5 min walk) and within 15 mins of city center monuments and shops. Could not have been happier.
