2021 Openings & Reopenings
A few new hotels opened in Rome in 2021, while several others introduced a refresh or a change in brand.
W Hotel
W hotels are known as see-and-be-seen hotels, and the new W Hotel Rome follows that trend with Instagrammable public spaces like its open-air courtyard, rooftop bar, and quirky Sicilian-flavored restaurant and pastry bar Giano. The newest of more than 5-dozen Marriott properties in Italy, the W Hotel Rome has 162 rooms and suites. Another Marriott 5-star, the Pantheon Iconic Rome Hotel, opened near the Pantheon in 2018.

Anantara Palazzo Naiadi
Occupying an enviable position inside one of the twin buildings of the 19th century Palazzo Esedra, the 5-star Anantara Palazzo Naiadi takes over the hotel formerly known as the Boscolo Exedra Roma. In addition to its 221 guest rooms, 17 suites, and rooftop pool, the property has had an intriguing (and sometimes tragic) relationship with celebrity, including serving as a backdrop for some scenes in the House of Gucci film. This is the first hotel in Italy by the Thai brand, which is well known for its luxury hotels and spas in Asia.
