The First Roma Dolce seamlessly blends the elegant design of a 19th-century private home with the charms of Via del Corso, one of the most iconic streets of la Dolce Vita in Rome. A boutique and warm residential atmosphere with bespoke 5-star service set the stage for the perfectly crafted stay. The 19th-century building was designed by the Italian architect and urban planner Giuseppe Valadier, who created the elliptical plan of Piazza del Popolo, then connecting it via stairs and terraces to the Pincio and to the Borghese Gardens. Exquisite and refined 23 suites and guest rooms combine the city’s architectural heritage with state-of-the-art modernity. With interiors by Studio Marincola, the contemporary design, spacious suites, and in-room amenities such as a personal fitness area, encourage guests to feel as though they are residents of the city during a stay, providing a real ‘home-away-from-home’ in the Eternal City. From homemade pastries on arrival, to ‘VELO’, the innovative patisserie-style restaurant, The First Roma Dolce celebrates the Roman passion for pastry. The First Roma Dolce is also the only hotel in the city serving a full English afternoon tea with an Italian twist. The ‘First Experience’ embraces a modern version of ‘La Dolce Vita’, which unfolds through the lens of contemporary art and design, and creative gastronomy.
