The hotel is a refined retreat that puts you in the center of everything, whether you are visiting for art or shopping.

This review highlights why The First Roma Dolce is an excellent choice for those who enjoy sophistication with a hint of luxury.

Overview

The First Roma Dolce's spacious lobby will greet guests as they enter from the busy streets of Italy's capital. The chic décor, dark wood, and neutral colors of the suites and rooms will impress guests. Rooms include Illy coffee machines, marble rain showers, flat-screen TVs, and in-room libraries.

Velo offers casual dining, but guests may also explore the city for delicious food. The First Roma Dolce is in a great spot. Guests can easily walk to the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and other famous Roman sites. The hotel also offers guided tours in the city based on guests' interests. Depending on your interests, you can select a tour based on food or one that's family-friendly.

The First Roma Dolce is a quiet, low-profile hotel. However, its history is rich. Architect Giuseppe Valadier designed Piazza del Popolo. He also created the staircases and terraces that link it to the Pincio Gardens and the Borghese Gardens.

Location

The property is in the heart of Rome, near many historical sites and famous landmarks, such as the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain. After the shops closed and tourists scattered to other parts of the city, this busy stretch of Via del Corso became relatively calm.

Style & Character

First Dolce is part of the Pavilion Hotels & Resorts Collection, which features three Rome properties, each with its own theme. Dolce refers to this hotel's "sweet" theme (sister hotels focus on music and art). The hotel is a beautiful 19th-century palazzo. Giuseppe Valadier renovated it and designed the layout of Piazza del Popolo.

Service & Facilities

The service is efficient and polished, and the attention delivered meets five-star standards. The staff and concierge can create exceptional experiences. Enjoy private pastry lessons with the hotel chef.

You can also play golf at the Parco di Roma Golf Club, which offers views of St. Peter's. Moreover, Dolce and its sister hotels, Arte, Musica, and Prati, are nearby.

Dolce is a small hotel with a limited menu. Guests can enjoy Arte's rooftop and ground-floor restaurants. There is a free transfer between the two hotels, and a complimentary shuttle service also links the two properties.

Dolce's standard rooms aren't large, and there isn't a spa or gym. However, guests will enjoy the "sweet" service that adds to the overall experience. Small pets are also allowed.

Rooms

Dolce has 23 suites and guest rooms. The contemporary, cool rooms in greys and taupes are not as sweet-themed. They don't feature bubblegum pink or any other sweet shades. However, they do have some abstract wall artwork and welcome treats. The minimalist look is completed by dark wood paneling and black and chrome furnishings.

The beds are luxurious and plush, with various pillows and mattress toppers. The bathrooms also look stunning. They feature bold Saint Laurent marble and elegant stained wood designs.

Moreover, Acqua di Parma bath products are included. Although there isn't a gym, some suites offer state-of-the-art Technogym and steam rooms. These are perfect for working off those tempting treats from the patisserie.

Dining

Velo is the property's patisserie-restaurant. It displays all its delicious treats as if they were gems. Andrea Cigottini is a pastry chef who aims for perfection with her classics and modern creations, combining bold flavors.

You can also find unique versions of the maritozzo. This classic Roman dessert features brioche rolls filled with different whipped creams. Flavors include tiramisu, profiterole, and fun tortes. This is primarily a pastry shop; however, some light pasta dishes are also on the menu. Moreover, from 2 pm to 7 pm, afternoon tea includes pastries, finger sandwiches, and scones.

As you would expect, the breakfast is also lavish. It is a feast of sweets and pastries. There are also eggs cooked to order, pancakes with bacon, fruit, yogurt, personalized coffee drinks, and various teas. The presentation is also stunning and reflects the hotel's patisserie theme.

Area

The First Roma Dolce is the sister property of First Roma Arte, which opened this March. It's in a prime location but very far from all the crowds. This modern boutique hotel sits on Via del Corso, east of the Tiber River, among various high-street and designer shops.

Moreover, you can walk 10 minutes one way to reach Rome's landmark Piazza del Popolo. This is home to Rome's oldest obelisk and the northern entrance to the city. If you take 20 minutes in the other direction, you will arrive at Piazza Venezia. Here, you'll see the oh-so-grand Altare della Patria. It's a grand temple that honors both Italy's First World War soldiers and Italy's First king.

You're also a few steps away from tourist attractions like the Spanish Steps or Trevi Fountain.

Family-Friendly

Some suites are connected and can accommodate up to three people. The concierge can also help with family-friendly activities. You can enjoy pizza-making classes or trips to Castel Gandolfo.

Takeaway

When you want a hotel in Rome to feel welcoming and luxurious, the First Roma Dolce ticks all those boxes. It is a place that will leave a lasting impact on you. Every detail is designed to provide comfort and style. You'll enjoy comfort, style, and sweetness at every turn.
