Insight Guides "Between Termini station and the Via Veneto area, this dignified hotel occupies a patrician palace, with oriental rugs, chandeliers and antiques."
Travel + Leisure "A stone’s throw from both the Quirinal Hill and the Baths of Caracalla, the St. Regis Grand is a respite from the centro storico fray." Full review
DK Eyewitness "It is one of the world’s finest hotels and attracts heads of state, celebrities, royalty, and industry moguls... sumptuous rooms and impeccable service."
