Dei Mellini - Rome

For a stylish stay in Rome, look no further than Dei Mellini. Get comfortable in chic rooms, work up a sweat at the gym or simply relax on the rooftop terrace – overlooking Rome’s historic skyline. This boutique hotel also boasts a buffet breakfast and a bar serving Italian cuisine, as well as cocktails and wine tastings. Plus, a central location with the top sights nearby, makes this the ultimate stay.

Residing in the Prati neighbourhood next to the River Tiber’s west banks, Dei Mellini is close to many well-loved sights. Wander the surrounding streets, filled with pizzerias, gelaterias and beautiful Baroque buildings, or admire Castel Sant’Angelo Palace’s opulent gold interiors, which are just half a mile away. For more lavish landmarks, visit Vatican City – merely one and a half miles away, and gaze at Michelangelo’s frescoed ceiling in the Sistine Chapel or catch a glimpse of the Pope at St Peter’s Basilica. You can also cross the ancient river for the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, both one mile away. Or connect to Trastevere’s cobblestoned lanes via the Lepanto metro station, which is half a mile away. Rome’s Fiumicino Airport is 18 miles away.

Dei Mellini resides within a 19th Century building yet possesses a contemporary aesthetic, with plenty of Italian flair – imagine velvet seating and classic mahogany furniture. Rooms have white bedding, decorated with mulberry-coloured throws and playful pistachio pillows. To top it off, bathrooms are decked out in coveted Carrara marble. If you’re craving more stylish touches, opt for a Suite, which spoils you with a bottle of sparkling wine on arrival, a balcony with courtyard views and two bathrooms. For added VIP treatment, a housekeeper can unpack your luggage on request.
