Rome has 21 MICHELIN Key hotels in 2026, and only one of them holds Three Keys: the Bvlgari Hotel Roma. Five hotels have Two Keys and 15 have One. Two names are new to the list, both at One Key: Corinthia Rome and the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi. The tiers come from MICHELIN’s list of all the Key hotels in Italy, published on 18 September, which counts 224 across the country: 17 at Three Keys, 49 at Two and 158 at One.

The Bvlgari, Rome’s only Three Keys
The Bvlgari Hotel Roma opened in 2023 in a 1930s building on Piazza Augusto Imperatore, facing the Mausoleum of Augustus. It is the only Rome hotel at the top tier, one of 17 in Italy, all of them in our list of Italy’s Three-Key hotels.
Five at Two Keys, from the Pantheon to the Spanish Steps
The Two Keys are spread across the historic centre. Hotel de la Ville is on Via Sistina, a few steps from the top of the Spanish Steps, and Hotel de Russie is at the other end of the Tridente, on Via del Babuino by Piazza del Popolo, with its terraced garden. Orient Express La Minerva faces the elephant obelisk on Piazza della Minerva, behind the Pantheon. The St. Regis Rome is the old grand hotel near Piazza della Repubblica.
Palazzo Talìa is the smallest of the five. MICHELIN’s page on the hotel lists 26 rooms in a 16th-century palazzo on Largo del Nazareno, with interiors designed by Luca Guadagnino, the film director.
Fifteen at One Key, and the two new names
Corinthia Rome is the newer of the two arrivals. It opened in 2026 in a former Bank of Italy building near the Pantheon, as AFAR reported at the opening. The Anantara Palazzo Naiadi is the other, on the curve of Piazza della Repubblica, above the fountain.
The rest cluster in the triangle between Piazza del Popolo, the Spanish Steps and the Corso. The Hassler sits at the top of the Steps. Portrait Roma is on Via Bocca di Leone, JK Place on Via di Monte d’Oro, Hotel Vilòn behind Palazzo Borghese, Palazzo Ripetta and Hotel Locarno a few streets from Piazza del Popolo and The First Arte on Via del Vantaggio. Hotel Eden is the one on the hill, near Via Veneto.
Around the Trevi Fountain and the Corso, Maalot Roma, Umiltà 36, Palazzo Roma and Six Senses Rome are all within a few minutes’ walk of each other. The Singer Palace Hotel is in the Pigna district, in an early 1900s building listed by Turismo Roma on Via Alessandro Specchi.
Where the Keys meet the Stars
Four of the Key hotels also hold a Starred restaurant in the 2027 guide. Acquolina, at The First Arte, has Two Stars. Imàgo is on the top floor of the Hassler, La Terrazza on the roof of the Eden and INEO at the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi, each with One. The full city list, with the two new Stars, is in our guide to Rome’s 22 Starred restaurants.
The Luxury.it perspective
Rome’s Key list is a map of the Tridente. Ten of the 21 hotels sit in the triangle between Piazza del Popolo, the Spanish Steps and Piazza Augusto Imperatore, which makes it the easiest part of the city to walk and the hardest to book in spring and autumn. The Pantheon side is the newer story, with La Minerva and Corinthia arriving within a year of each other.
For a first stay, choose by what you want outside the door. The Steps, the shops of Via Condotti and the restaurants of the Tridente point to the Hassler, de la Ville or de Russie. The Pantheon and Campo de’ Fiori point to La Minerva. For rooms that show as full on your dates, our concierge desk can help.
