Follow Rome’s well heeled down the Spanish Steps to The First Roma Arte. A five-minute stroll from the city landmark brings you to the doorstep of this restored 19th-century nobleman’s house, its neutral walls now showcasing more than 200 original contemporary artworks. Most of the 26 accommodations are suites; all boldly exhibit rotating pieces of art alongside leather headboards, royal-blue fabrics, and built-in, book-lined shelves. Sample Daniele Lippi’s mouthwatering creations at the Michelin-starred restaurant Acquolina; end the evening with cocktails in the year-round magical AcquaRoof panoramic terrace.
