Why we recommend it
Hotel Locarno opened in 1925 on a quiet street between Piazza del Popolo and the Tiber, and has long attracted artists, writers and film-makers; the hotel itself recalls Federico Fellini's affection for the place. It keeps a distinctly literary character, and is now a five-star property recognised by several international hotel guides.
The bar is a destination in its own right for a well-made cocktail, and Terrazza Locarno on the roof offers dining with views across the domes and rooftops of the centre. Piazza del Popolo, the Pincio and Via del Corso are on the doorstep, and Flaminio metro station is a short walk away. Book the terrace ahead in warm weather, when it is in high demand.
