Rough Guide "The Raphaël is a mix of plush traditional style – antiques and rich colours – and sleek contemporary furnishings by American architect Richard Meier."
Michelin Guide "With its collection of porcelain, antiquarian artifacts and sculptures by famous artists, the entrance to this hotel resembles a museum. The recently renovated guestrooms are modern in style."
Travel + Leisure "A favorite of Italian politicians, the ivy-covered Hotel Raphael is located just outside the Piazza Navona, within walking distance of the Pantheon and Spanish Steps." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A lovely burnt-sienna palazzo, strewn with ivy and fairylights just off the Piazza, Raphael is romantic and stylish."
Time Out "This ivy-draped palazzo in a picturesque square is deservedly popular, particularly with politicians (it's close to the Senate)." Full review
Star Service "In a quixotic ivy-covered manse on a quiet side street just west of animated Piazza Navona, this hotel is a dignified ambassador in the Relais & Chateaux chain." Full review
Frommer's "With a glorious location adjacent to Piazza Navona, the Raphael is often the top choice of Italian politicos in town for the opening of Parliament." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Most famous for its terraces overlooking the splendor and rooftops of Rome, the Hotel Raphael has something to offer even if you aren't planning on, say, proposing in that romantic spot." Full review

For panoramas of the Roman rooftops, ask for a room on the top floor.
Concierge "Perched at the top of the Spanish Steps, the classic Hassler has spectacular views and—with more gold and brocade than a Palm Beach dowager—a timeless, stately elegance."

To make sure you get your money's worth, ask for a city-side view.
Fodor's "When it comes to million-dollar views, this exclusive hotel atop the Spanish Steps has the best seats in the house." Full review
Insight Guides "At the top of the Spanish Steps, this classic hotel has long enjoyed the status of one of the best in Rome (and the world)."
DK Eyewitness "At the top of the Spanish Steps, this is the glitterati’s choice and the grande dame of Rome’s hotels."
Time Out "Looking down imperiously from the top of the Spanish Steps, the Hassler remains the grande dame of the city's deluxe hotels." Full review
Star Service "This hotel is a love-it-or-leave-it kind of place." Full review

Guests seeking quiet should request rooms facing the courtyard, although these tend to be a tad dim.
BlackBook "Expect all the best old money can buy. Suites appear as though the interior decorator took each furniture and art piece from Hearst Castle."
