Palazzo Roma
Rome, Italy · Independent · High Luxury
Most Roman palaces with frescoed ceilings are museums now, or still private, which makes a night at Palazzo Roma unusual: a seventeenth-century house on Via del Corso, once home to the Tuscan Guelfi Camajani, with the medieval Tower of the Tosetti standing inside the walls. Giampiero Panepinto spent close to three years on the restoration before it opened in June 2023, keeping the marble staircase, the painted coffered ceilings and the frescoes, and laying Versailles parquet through thirty-nine rooms.

About Palazzo Roma
- The palace still holds the medieval Tower of the Tosetti inside it, a survivor from the centuries when Roman families fortified their own houses.
- Giampiero Panepinto, the Milanese architect who directed the work here, had already turned part of the sixteenth-century Palazzo Borghese into Hotel Vilon in 2018.
- Through the nineteenth century the palace passed between families and hosted circles of intellectuals, working as a venue for cultural gatherings as much as a private home.
- Two dining rooms and a bar work under executive chef Federico Sartucci, and several of the suites open onto private terraces above the roofline.
- The front door is at the crossing of Via del Corso, Via delle Muratte and Via di Pietra, two minutes from the Trevi Fountain and from the eleven surviving columns of Hadrian's temple.
History
Palazzo Roma stands at Via del Corso 337, on the corner where the street meets Via delle Muratte and Via di Pietra in Campo Marzio. The palace dates to the seventeenth century and was the Roman residence of the Guelfi Camajani, a noble Tuscan family, who built around and absorbed the medieval Tower of the Tosetti; the tower is still inside the building. After the Tuscans it passed between families through the nineteenth century, serving as a distinguished private residence and as a meeting place for circles of intellectuals and cultural gatherings.
Shedir Collection took on the conversion and spent close to three years restoring it, with the Milanese architect Giampiero Panepinto directing, the same hand behind Hotel Vilon inside Palazzo Borghese in 2018. The original marble staircase, the painted coffered ceilings, the inlaid wood panelling and the frescoes were all brought back, and Versailles teak parquet was laid through the rooms. Palazzo Roma opened in June 2023 with 39 rooms and suites, several with private terraces, four-poster beds, and original artworks, along with two dining rooms and a bar under executive chef Federico Sartucci. It is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World and appears on American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts.
The setting
Via del Corso is the straight mile that Rome has used as its parade and shopping street since antiquity, running from Piazza del Popolo to Piazza Venezia, and number 337 sits at the point where Via delle Muratte and Via di Pietra branch off it. Via delle Muratte leads directly to the Trevi Fountain in about two minutes. Via di Pietra opens onto Piazza di Pietra, where eleven colossal columns of the Temple of Hadrian survive embedded in the wall of the building that later served as Rome's stock exchange. The Pantheon, Piazza Colonna and Montecitorio are all within a few minutes on foot, the Spanish Steps a little further north, and Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline just south.
