Luxury on the River

Luxury on the River Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Luxury on the River along the Lungotevere, you immediately understand why this four-star property gets such rave reviews. The building sits right on the Tiber, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — you’re in Prati, which locals know is one of Rome‘s most livable neighborhoods. I mean, you’ve got the Vatican practically next door, but without all the tourist chaos that comes with staying right in the thick of things.

The Perfect Roman Neighborhood

What I love about Prati is that it feels authentically Roman while still being incredibly walkable to major sights. You can stroll to St. Peter’s in about ten minutes, but when you want a proper Italian dinner, you’re surrounded by trattorias where actual Romans eat — not just tourist traps. The tree-lined streets here are perfect for evening walks, and there’s something really special about coming home to the river after a day of sightseeing. The couples who stay here absolutely get it — there’s a romantic quality to this area that’s hard to find elsewhere in the city.

Sleep Quality That Actually Matters

You know what’s rare in Rome? A hotel where you actually sleep well. The beds here are genuinely comfortable — not just hotel-marketing comfortable, but the kind where you wake up refreshed instead of feeling like you wrestled with lumpy pillows all night. The room I stayed in faced the river, and while Rome can be noisy, this spot stays surprisingly quiet. Maybe it’s the distance from the main traffic arteries, or maybe they just invested in proper windows, but either way, you’ll thank yourself for choosing a place that prioritizes rest.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll save you headaches — they actually have parking on site. If you’re driving in Rome (brave soul), this is basically gold. Most hotels in the center either don’t have parking or charge ridiculous fees for spots blocks away. The staff here knows the neighborhood inside and out too, so when you ask for restaurant recommendations, you get real suggestions, not just the places that give them kickbacks. They pointed me toward this incredible gelato spot that I never would have found otherwise.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.2 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects what happens when a hotel gets the fundamentals right without trying to be something it’s not. You’re not paying for marble lobbies or celebrity chef restaurants, but you are getting a genuinely pleasant stay in one of Rome’s best-positioned neighborhoods. The river location gives you those postcard moments (especially at sunset), while Prati gives you the authentic Roman experience. It’s the kind of place where you spend your days exploring the city and your evenings actually enjoying where you’re staying, rather than just crashing somewhere convenient.

Reviews of Luxury on the River

• Dávid from Hungary (10/10)

  The room and bathroom was clean and tidy, the bed was very comfortable.
  Plenty of great places to eat or have a coffee nearby. While the place is not in the very busy center, it is 10-15 minutes walk from places like Trevi fountain, Pantheon, Piazza del Popolo, Piazza Navona, the Vatican, Castel Sant'Angelo, etc.
  On top, Beatrice's and Luisa's hospitality is unmatched. They booked us table at a nearby lovely restaurant and also tried to book tickets to an already sold out museum.
  When in Rome…stay at Luxury on the River.
  We will be sure to return!
  
  Grazie mille Beatrice and Luisa!

  Very helpful. The area is perfect.

• Leah from United Kingdom (8/10)

  The hotel room and foyer areas were very modern, well furnished and extremely comfortable. The location was brilliant for us as the hotel is not within the busier areas of the city and also within mostly equal walking distances between the main landmarks.

• Yan from Sweden (9/10)

  The rooms are quite spacious and very tidy! The location is by the river and very quiet! It has all the facilities we need. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help!

• Ella from Australia (10/10)

  The staff were so lovely and helpful! They gave us a map of Rome and lots of recommendations. The rooms were lovely and clean and a great location. Couldn’t recommend more.
