Rome Cavalieri by Waldorf Astoria.
A grand hotel, in the broadest sense of the word, it is located just minutes from the city’s most iconic monuments. But its guests can enjoy the calm and relaxation of a great oasis since the property spreads through more than 6 acres of lush Mediterranean greenery, a haven of peace and tranquility in the middle of the bustling Italian capital that never sleeps.
Rome Cavalieri is more than a 5-star hotel, its Rome’s quintessential luxury retreat, featuring an art collection that rivals that of many museums, a spa with superb services and standards of luxury, style, and hospitality that make it stand out among the most elegant European hotels.

Inside the hotel, the cuisine is of the highest quality. The magnificent La Pergola restaurant, one of Italy’s best with three Michelin stars, offers highly creative Italian fare in a lavish environment. Under the direction of celebrated Chef Heinz Beck, every item on La Perloga’s menu is innovative and exciting. You can choose to compliment this exquisite meal with a selection of over 60,000 world-class bottles of wine and a water list featuring 45 choices.
A unique experience at the Cavalieri is their lovely high tea, featuring a selection of finger sandwiches, scones, pastries, and fruit sushi, all served in Vermeil porcelain. The room is adorned with a beautiful Giovanni Battista Tiepolo triptych painted in 1725, valued at $8 million. These are the three most precious paintings in their entire collection and a treasure of museum quality.
Moreover, pet owners are in luck because the Rome Cavalieri offers the Very Important Pet option, with special menus for your pet, daily walks through the lush garden, and access to the nearby Domus Aventine spa for dogs. Who could ask for anything more? ■
