PB hotel design editorial

Two early twentieth-century palazzi on Via Liguria, steps from the Via Veneto and directly opposite the neoclassical bulk of the Palazzo Margherita — now the American Embassy — form the architectural shell of W Rome, which opened in 2021 as the brand's first Italian outpost. The five-storey terracotta and cream facades, with their rusticated stone bases, pedimented windows, and wrought-iron balconies, are precisely the kind of Roman Liberty-style structures that heritage authorities protect with fierce conviction, making the brief to Concrete Amsterdam — the Dutch studio behind several of W's more persuasive European conversions — a genuinely constrained one. Inside, Concrete worked the tension productively rather than against it. The bar runs beneath a sequence of cream-plastered arches, their mouldings intact, while the floor shifts to rose-veined marble and the counter arrives in verde alpi stone trimmed with brushed brass — Roman grandeur redirected through a mid-century Italian lens. Guest rooms carry the same productive collision: herringbone oak floors and pale panelled walls hold channel-tufted tan leather headboards, kidney-shaped velvet settees in dusty rose, and sculptural black-and-brass wall sconces with clear debts to Arredoluce. The rooftop, framed by umbrella pines and looking directly across to the Palazzo Margherita's ornate cornice, grounds the whole project in a very specific piece of Roman geography that no amount of interior styling could manufacture.

About

Historic palazzo on the outside, a bold interpretation of luxury inside, W Rome celebrates the Italian attitude and captures the energy of the Eternal City. With its 162 rooms and suites, design twist and vibrant experiences, the hotel marks the W Hotels’ entry to the scene in an unapologetically Italian way. Head chef Ciccio Sultano shakes up the city’s foodie scene, with authentic Sicilian cooking served at Giano Restaurant. Loaded with Roman vitality yet dismantling the norm, W Rome has something for everyone, whether it be a sweet retreat at Zucchero x Fabrizio Fiorani, a cocktail with upbeat music at W Lounge or live entertainment at Giardino Clandestino. On the upper floor, striking views of the city make Citrico Rooftop - Pizza & Cocktails, in collaboration with Ciccio Sultano, and WET Deck even more exceptional.

"I'm currently staying here on vacation with my mom, who has mobility challenges and uses both a walker and a wheelchair. We truly appreciate that her accessible room is thoughtfully designed, with plenty of space for her to move around comfortably in her wheelchair. The service throughout the hotel has been exceptional. Every staff member we've encountered has been warm, professional, and eager to help. On our first night, we ordered room service, and the food exceeded our expectations. Everything was delicious, and the meatball appetizer was an absolute standout - definitely a must-try! The hotel's location is also fantastic, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. Overall, we've had a wonderful experience and would gladly stay here again."

"I’ve stayed at W Hotels all over the world, including Los Angeles, New York, Barcelona, and several other cities, and this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had at a W. I paid over €1,000 per night, so I expected a luxury experience. Unfortunately, that wasn’t what I received. Every single night, we’d come back from dinner to find our room extremely hot. It felt like the A/C had been turned off or a window had been left open, but neither was the case. The first night, I called the front desk, and they agreed something was wrong and sent maintenance. They spent over 30 minutes working on the A/C in the ceiling after 1:00 AM. That is not how anyone wants to spend their vacation, especially at this price point. The next day, the hotel moved us to another room. I appreciated the effort, but the exact same issue happened again. That night, I had to call the front desk once more, and maintenance spent nearly an hour trying to repair the A/C in the middle of the night. As if that wasn’t enough, checkout was another frustrating experience. A staff member came to collect our luggage and took two of our suitcases. I told him to give me one minute because I was zipping up the last bag. He specifically told me, “Please don’t rush, take your time. I’ll wait right here.” I kid you not, less than two minutes later I opened the door and he was gone. Because my taxi had arrived, I had to carry the remaining luggage downstairs myself. When I got to the lobby, the two suitcases he had already taken were nowhere to be found. I then had to spend additional time asking multiple employees where my luggage was and searching for it myself. At that point, I was completely fed up. I explained everything to the front desk and expressed how disappointed I was. Their solution was to offer me 20,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. After spending well over €1,000 per night and dealing with multiple nights of A/C issues, maintenance working in my room after 1:00 AM, being moved to another room with the exact same problem, and then having my luggage misplaced during checkout, that gesture felt completely inadequate. The most disappointing part is not just that there were problems. It’s that every day seemed to bring another issue, and instead of enjoying my vacation, I spent my time dealing with problems that should never happen at a luxury hotel. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to warn others. If you’re deciding between luxury hotels in Rome, I would strongly recommend staying at The Rome EDITION instead. I stayed there just a few weeks earlier and had an excellent experience. The only reason I booked the W Rome this time was because the EDITION was sold out. Given how great my experiences have been at other W Hotels around the world, I expected the same standard here. Unfortunately, this property fell far short of that expectation. I genuinely hope someone from senior management reaches out because this experience was unacceptable and fell well below the standards I associate with both the W brand and Marriott. As it stands today, I will never return to this property, and I cannot recommend it to anyone looking for a luxury stay in Rome."

"We stayed at W Rome for four nights during our honeymoon, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning interior design that blends modern luxury with the character and elegance of Rome. From the moment you walk in, the attention to detail is clear — including the incredible fragrance throughout the property, which creates such a memorable atmosphere. The service truly set this hotel apart. Claudia at check-in was outstanding and immediately made us feel welcomed and valued. She was warm, professional, and thoughtful, helping make the beginning of our honeymoon feel special. The front lobby team was also exceptional throughout our stay — always friendly, attentive, and eager to help with recommendations, directions, and anything we needed. The rooftop pool was a highlight, especially during the July heat. Having such a beautiful place to relax and cool off after exploring Rome was a huge benefit and made the stay even more enjoyable. The hotel’s central location was also perfect, allowing us to easily walk to many of Rome’s most iconic sights while still returning to a peaceful and luxurious retreat. Overall, W Rome exceeded our expectations. Between the beautiful design, excellent location, incredible service, and thoughtful touches throughout the property, it was the perfect place to celebrate our honeymoon. We would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rome."
