Waldorf Astoria

imperial floor where you can enjoy access to the club area, offering an array of light bites and refreshments – including a tea time with scones, sandwiches, and a plethora of teas. If you are looking to bathe in luxury, consider the Penthouse Suite, equipped with Karl Lagerfeld’s living room furniture and original artwork by Andy Warhol. Host a private dinner or rooftop party with breathtaking views of the city after stepping upstairs through a winding staircase with a retractable translucent roof. The bathroom is the size of a traditional apartment, dripping in Acqua di Parma amenities, with a walkin closet.

The hotel offers Rome from a different point of view, being only 10 minutes away from the Vatican and 15 minutes from the historic city center with private shuttle in and out, directly from the hotel.

If you are looking to unwind, the award-winning expansive spa spa selection includes ten treatment rooms with La Prairie and Natura Bissé products. Choose from sand therapy in the desert room or green nature in the forest room.

I dined at Uliveto, overlooking the landscaped park and outdoor pool, offering Mediterranean and eclectic global dishes served by Executive Chef Fabio Boschero. I selected a tuna dish as well as wild Canadian rice served with seaweed salad and algae chips, with a sweet finish of cheesecake, sorbet and gelato.
