Hotel Locarno

Via della Penna, 22, 00186 Roma RM, Italy

Down the road from Rome’s ever-buzzing Piazza del Popolo lives Hotel Locarno, a bohemian, elegant, and perfectly charming place whose style meshes vintage with vogue. Located only a mile away from the Vatican, the hotel is nearing its centennial and has yet to falter in quality since opening. And while the rooms themselves are top-of-the-line, Locarno’s breathtaking terrace views and exquisite bar—the latter a “beverage concept” founded by mixologist Nicholas Pinna, and considered one of the best in all of Rome—are perhaps its most enthralling aspects. If “charm” is what you seek, the Locarno will not disappoint. —Jack Sullivan
