Redefining Rome’s Luxury Landscape: A Look Inside Bulgari Hotel Roma. From the cobblestone streets of Rome, rich with centuries of history, emerges a new icon of Italian elegance – the Bulgari Hotel Roma. Standing majestically in the heart of the Eternal City, this luxury haven adds a layer of contemporary glamour to Rome’s already exquisite hotel scene. Perfectly positioned at 10 Piazza Augusto Imperatore, the Bulgari Hotel Roma offers a commanding view of the Mausoleum of Augustus, further enhancing the profound connection to the city’s classical past.

As the ninth offering in Bulgari’s portfolio of luxury hotels around the globe, and the second in Italy after the brand’s Milan venture in 2004, Bulgari Hotel Roma is a testament to the luxury brand’s commitment to excellence and refinement. Occupying a sprawling edifice of six floors, the hotel is home to 114 rooms, including 48 suites, each thoughtfully decorated in four distinct colour palettes: white, yellow, red, and green.


Each corner of the hotel tells a story of Rome, its history, and its culture. Designed by architect Vittorio Ballio Morpurgo, the Bulgari Hotel Roma seamlessly integrates the grandeur of Rome’s architectural heritage with Bulgari’s unmistakable touch of luxury. At the entrance, guests are greeted by an imposing marble statue of Emperor Augustus from the esteemed Torlonia collection, a fitting tribute to the city’s glorious past.

Bulgari’s deep-rooted love for artistry and craftsmanship is on full display throughout the hotel. The intricate handmade mosaics inspired by iconic Bulgari motifs, meticulously crafted in the province of Friuli, infuse the hotel with a unique charm. The hand-blown Murano glass lights and the precious Ginori vases from the 1930s further enhance the visual narrative, reinforcing the harmonious fusion of traditional Italian design with modern aesthetics.
