If you’re looking for understated, minimalist, no-frills accommodations, the Residenza Ruspoli Bonaparte is not for you. Located in the Palazzo Ruspoli, a 16th-century palace in the heart of Rome that at one point housed the exiled Napoleon III, the luxury hotel offers four exquisitely ornate suites. Complete with frescoed walls and ceilings, cascading velvet canopies, and gold-embroidered duvets, the suites ooze with opulence befitting a royal’s quarters. Balancing the historic splendor are all the comforts of modern hospitality, including a jacuzzi shower, a Smart TV, and an on-site masseuse.
