For as far as the eye could see; Rome Italy has been the epicenter of baroque style hotels dripping in gold trim, fabric walls, and classical European style; all that has changed. In the past two or three years Rome has seen a rebirth of the boutique and hip Rome hotels catering to the jet set and their tastes for the modern, elegant and understated.

These hip gems can be found all over the historical center of the city from the Coliseum to Piazza Navona and typically have less than 20 rooms.  The old school landmark properties such as the 5 star Hotel Regina Baglioni www.baglionihotels.com  offer the finest example of old world charm and baroque European elegance are renewing their style to match the modern revolution in Rome but can’t seem to keep up with the smaller hip properties popping up all over the city.  If you are looking for the latest in luxury properties you need to look past the ordinary and you will find the extraordinary when looking for Rome hotels.

Young entrepreneurs have purchased some of the cities run down Rome hostels, one and two star Rome hotels and invested millions to turn them into the most chic and glamorous stays in the Eternal City.  

A perfect example of this is the Opera Hotel www.theoperahotel.it this former dump has been reborn with all of the style that you could ask for and with only 13 rooms you will feel like a VIP for just getting a reservation. Located on the major fairway via Nazionale, between Piazza Venezia and Piazza Della Repubblica; the hotel has the perfect location to stroll the city sights by foot. The small lobby features glass art and modern architecture. Once inside; the rooms drip with understated elegance; from the fine linens to the bathroom fixtures. More than a dozen of these hip places to rest your head have shown up in Rome in the past year; and more are being built each day.

 It seems if you are wanting to re-live a night with Cesar in gaudy-glam surroundings; you may have to look a little deeper to get past the new wave mod hotels that have become Rome’s latest luxury trend.
