Lungarno Collection: Portrait Roma

As exclusive as Roman accommodation comes, this residence boasts exquisite suites in a townhouse near the Spanish Steps. Interiors evoke the 1950s style and panache of Italian design king Salvatore Ferragamo, and rooms have comforts and gadgets galore; all have a kitchenette and one has its own sauna and mini-gym. The 360-degree city panorama from the roof terrace is exhilarating.
