Sina Bernini Bristol, Autograph Collection

Rome


Conveniently located on the Piazza Barberini, a short walk from the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps, the five-star Bernini Bristol’s contemporary interior was fully renovated in 2022. The sleek lobby, which also houses a bar and plenty of seating, contrasts with the wall-to-wall fresco of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s most famous works on the second floor. The renovated rooms are comfortable and match the contemporary vibe, with marble bathrooms and large windows. But the real star of the hotel is the panoramic views of Rome from its rooftop restaurant, Il Vizio, which serves an unexpected menu of contemporary Italian dishes and sushi. Breakfast is served daily on the top floor, so you can still enjoy your cappuccino with a city view. The spread is large and varied, from pastries and fruit to eggs, bacon and cured meats.
