Elizabeth Unique Hotel | a Member of Design Hotels™ Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Elizabeth Unique Hotel | a Member of Design Hotels™ feels like discovering a well-kept secret in the heart of Rome. This five-star boutique property sits on a quiet cobblestone street just steps from the Spanish Steps, and honestly, the location alone is worth the stay. The moment you step through the doors, you realize this isn’t your typical Roman hotel — there’s an intimate, almost residential feel that makes you forget you’re in one of the world’s busiest tourist destinations.

Location & Neighborhood

You know what’s brilliant about Via delle Colonnette? It’s tucked away enough that you escape the crowds, but you’re literally a two-minute walk from the Spanish Steps and Via del Corso’s shopping madness. I mean, couples absolutely love this spot — and I can see why, given that romantic evening stroll to Trinità dei Monti is practically on your doorstep. The Trevi Fountain is maybe a seven-minute walk, and you can reach the Pantheon in about ten minutes if you know the back streets. There’s something magical about being able to slip away from the tourist chaos and return to this peaceful little corner whenever you need a breather.

The Room Experience

Each room here tells its own story — and I actually mean that, not in some marketing way. The design team clearly put thought into making every space feel unique, with contemporary Italian furnishings mixed with unexpected artistic touches. My apartment had these gorgeous marble accents and a bathroom that felt more like a private spa than a hotel amenity. The attention to detail is impressive — from the lighting that actually works for reading to blackout curtains that let you sleep in after those long Roman dinners that stretch past midnight.

Dining & Amenities

Breakfast here is honestly one of the better hotel spreads I’ve encountered in Rome. They’ve got everything covered — continental classics, proper Italian pastries, full English if you’re missing home, and surprisingly good vegan options. The restaurant staff seems to genuinely care about dietary restrictions, which isn’t always a given in Italy. There’s also private parking available, which is basically like finding gold in central Rome — if you’re driving, you’ll appreciate not having to navigate the nightmare that is Roman street parking.

Why Guests Love It

What sets this place apart is how it balances luxury with authenticity. You get all the five-star touches — impeccable service, beautiful design, premium amenities — but it never feels stuffy or pretentious. The staff treats you like a welcomed guest rather than just another tourist, and they’re full of insider tips about which trattorias to hit and when to visit the major sites to avoid crowds. It’s the kind of place where you actually want to spend time in your room, but you’re also perfectly positioned to explore everything Rome has to offer. For couples especially, this hits that sweet spot of romantic intimacy and urban sophistication.

  From the moment you check in you’re made to feel special. They take great care in ensuring you have the best experience and we did. We were travelling with some elderly guests and the staff went over and above to ensure their needs were taken care of. We were very impressed. The hotel is small but very well located, the decor was of a high standard with beautiful rooms and comfortable beds. We loved the all day breakfast option and the location was perfect for shopping and seeing many of the major sites of Rome were easily accessible.

  Simply an amazing hotel on a cosy street just two steps away from buzzing via del Corso.
