Feel like royalty with a stay at Palazzo Dama, a beautiful, historic villa ideally located next to the banks of the Tiber in the heart of the city, just steps from Piazza del Popolo in Rome. This high-end, pet-friendly palace-turned-hotel was once home to nobility, with stunning original features blended with modern amenities and design by famed Italian architect Antonio Girardi. Admire the crystal chandeliers and sophisticated décor. Stroll the enchanting gardens amid lemon and olive trees. Swim in the outdoor pool. Work out in the 24-hour gym, dine in the Peruvian-Asian restaurant, and sip a cocktail at the exclusive Raspoutine nightclub.
This beguiling noble palace was once the residence of the Malaspina family, a family that hosted high-society gatherings for dignitaries, diplomats, aristocrats, and the cultural elite. The hotel’s name was inspired by the 18th-century dama Marchesa Anna Maria Malaspina, who was admired for her wit and sophistication.
Relax and make yourself at home in the sophisticated, comfortable accommodations at Palazzo Dama, and add an in-room massage for extra pampering. All 29 guestrooms and suites feature modern style in a historic setting. Each includes inspiring artwork, wood floors, Nespresso coffee machines, and marble bathrooms with Acqua di Parma toiletries. The soundproof walls add to the privacy, and flat-screen TVs, free WiFi, and individually controlled air conditioning systems bring modern technology to the tranquil surroundings.
The Garden Suite, set in the heart of the lovely garden, is in an attached annex and offers a first-floor private entrance, plus a seating area with a sofa. The Executive Suite features a private terrace and wood-beam ceiling, while the Suite Lady offers generous space, a luxurious seating area, a terrace overlooking the garden, and a large bathroom with a unique bathtub and separate shower.
Whether you are having an aperitif by the pool, continental buffet breakfast to start your day, wine at Pisco Bar, ceviche at PACIFICO restaurant, or your favorite cocktail to a background of music at the intimate and infamous Raspoutine nightclub, you will love the options available to you on-site at Palazzo Dama.
Palazzo Dama is an ideal place to relax, enjoy activities, and return from a day of exploring Rome. Have tea in the tranquil landscaped gardens. Swim in the sparkling outdoor pool. Indulge in a soothing in-room massage. Have your favorite cocktail at Pisco Bar, dine at PACIFICO, and dance the night away at Raspoutine Club. The hotel’s concierges can help you plan the perfect itinerary including private access and tours of secret Rome. You can also have a rental Vespa delivered to the hotel doors for your use.
You don’t have to go far to see the glory of Rome from the hotel’s central location. Walk to popular shopping at Via del Corso and Via del Babuino, with fashion-forward labels Givenchy, Versace, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel all in one place. Famous attractions, like the Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps, are also nearby. Escape the urban landscape with a stroll through Villa Borghese Park and its lush, manicured lawns. Take in the sights, sounds, and food at Piazzale Flaminio and its surrounding neighborhood. History comes alive at the Ara Pacis and Trinita dei Monti. Both spectacular sites are among the most-visited in the city. The iconic Trevi Fountain, where tourists toss coins into the water for the promise of a return visit to the Eternal City, is minutes away.
Within 2 mi / 3 km you can see St. Peter’s Basilica, the Roman Forum, and The Colosseum and within 5 mi / 8 km you can visit Vatican City and Popolo Square. Olympic Stadium — home to Serie A clubs Lazio and Roma, as well as the annual Coppa Italia final — Trastevere, and Villa Adriana in Tivoli are all within 30 mi / 48 km.

A really beautiful hotel in a wonderful location. The staff were lovely and we absolutely enjoyed our weekend there. Breakfast was wonderful, especially eating outside in the sunshine. Our room was great and the staff were very helpful with all of our many enquiries.

We were here for a Welcome party with our friends the night before a Wedding and to say it was beautiful is an understatement. Food was amazing. Loved the decor; atmosphere A+; the grounds were beautiful and surrounded by other beautiful architecture.

Reading the reviews below, I guess selecting your room is pretty critical to the assessment of your stay at Palazzo Dama. We had room 208 (the two windows on the upper left of the photo above), a junior suite, and couldn't have had a more enjoyable stay. The traffic noise was a bit of an issue, but that's not the hotel's fault. Our room was spacious and comfortable, the lobby, restaurant and pool area were beautiful and relaxing. The service was great, and the concierge staff very helpful and welcoming. And the location is perfect for walking all around Rome. Highly recommended!
