Crossing Condotti

A short stroll from Prada, Bulgari and other fashion heavyweights, Crossing Condotti is remarkably central. The owner’s gorgeous antiques are set against a cool contemporary background, and attentive staff are unfailingly helpful. It is more Roman hideaway than fully fledged hotel, though; there are just eight rooms and public spaces are limited to a handy kitchenette with coffee- making facilities and a fridge stocked with (free) soft drinks.
