Blending exquisite contemporary art curated by a local gallery with the elegance and comfort of a delightfully restored 19th-century palace, The First Roma Arte creates quite an impression. Its aesthetic and philosophy capture the vibrancy of Rome’s modern art scene with more than 150 pieces of impressive artwork from the 20th century throughout the hotel — including in each guestroom. The refined, yet homey décor, impeccable service, and creative dining experiences continue the theme, ensuring your relaxation and absolute immersion in modern art before you explore Rome’s iconic galleries and ancient sights.
Some of Italy’s most dynamic artists have their work hanging on the walls of The First Roma Arte, so take your time to explore the art and appreciate its refined appeal. Creativity continues in the hotel’s Michelin-starred seafood restaurant, Acquolina, where the kitchen artfully combines Mediterranean flavors using fresh, authentic ingredients.
The First Roma Arte mixes 19th-century architecture with modern art and design. The hotel hosts regular exhibitions, and the unique artwork and sculptures really stand out against the striking blue velvet furniture and simple lines of lacquered wood in each of its 26 stylishly decorated guestrooms and suites. Spacious wardrobes, marble bathtubs, iPhone docks, and a carefully curated selection of books are featured in all guestrooms. Suites also offer separate sitting areas, prime views over the city, and Nespresso coffee machines — and in the exceptional Spa Suite View, a private rooftop Jacuzzi overlooking the city skyline.
The hotel’s cultural manager is happy to share local knowledge to help upgrade your experience of The Eternal City, while the hotel’s personal shopper and art consultant will guide you through your purchases.
Innovative dishes and creative cocktails lead the way at The First Roma Arte's three restaurants and bars. Fine Italian flavors await in the magnificent Acquolina restaurant, the Acquaroof garden is a breathtaking spot for a leisurely lunch, and The First Roma Arte’s art-filled Lounge Bar is an intimate setting to indulge in Italian aperitifs.

Our 4th or 5th time at this friendly hotel, staying in a suite or a deluxe room. Modern, spacious, well furnished. Friendly staff. Lovely rooftop bar / restaurant with a nice Roman view. A quiet street. 2 mins. walk to Pzza. di Popolo. 10 mns. to Spagna. If you stay on the 4th floor prepare for some noise from rooftop bar action.

I stayed in 3 hotels during my time in Rome. My husband had a medical emergency so we were not able to fly back when initially planned. I wanted to extend my stay here but unfortunately they were all booked out so had to go somewhere else. The staff went above and beyond our entire stay. If I ever come back to Rome this is where I will stay. It was by far the best of the 3 hotels we stayed.

Nice small hotel. Staff is excellent. We had a suite on the first floor which was big enough for the 3 adults. But there is not seating when the pull out bed is in use. The hotel is down what I would call an alley,which is pretty typical in Rome. Near many of the important sites of Rome. The alley becomes noisy at night with garage cans and garage trucks which I didn’t like. The restaurant on the top floor was good for breakfast but is only seafood which my family is not very fond of so we didn’t eat in the hotel except for breakfast. There are plenty of good restaurants within a 5 minute walk. Convenient but if you are alight sleeper,get a room that doesn’t face the front of the hotel.

The whole experience was lovely, from booking the reservation in person, to the fun art books and decor in the lobby area, comfy bed and bedding. Everything was done with attention to detail. The staff was so friendly and so helpful. A grand way to end our stay in Roma. I would stay there again and again!!
