Roma
Industrial-chic meets Art Deco. Dark, moody, and deliberately unglamorous on the outside — anonymous doorway on a cobblestone lane — but theatrical inside. Furniture by Tom Dixon, Moroso, Seletti, and Diesel. Brass and copper as a nod to the craftsmen who worked this street for centuries. The kind of place that attracts young Roman creatives as much as design-minded travellers.
Ask for a corner room — they have dual-aspect views and an orange velvet sofa that hugs the wall
Why It Matters
One of Rome's few genuinely design-forward boutique hotels. Member of Design Hotels, on Condé Nast Traveller's Hotlist 2020, and featured in Wallpaper's Best Urban Hotels 2019. The first property in the Chapter Italia portfolio by Rome-native Marco Cilia. The Campocori restaurant has built a serious following among Romans, not just hotel guests.
Chapter Roma occupies a neoclassical building from the 1880s tucked down a narrow side street in Regola, the old blacksmiths' quarter that borders Rome's Jewish Quarter. South African designer Tristan Du Plessis took the industrial bones of the place — exposed brick, vaulted stone arches on the ground floor — and layered in dark moodiness: jet-black steel, brass fixtures, gem-toned velvets, and murals by Rome street artists like Warios, Alice Pasquini, and Willy Verginer. It's officially 4 stars but feels considerably sharper, and locals genuinely come here to drink and hang out, which tells you everything you need to know.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Baby Double
The entry-level double — intimate and cleverly designed. Some units have a corner sofa; others come with a small private bar. Furniture from internationally renowned firms like Tom Dixon, Moroso, Diesel, and Seletti, plus custom pieces by local artisans. Bathrooms in granite marble and cement with brass fixtures.
King · 22 sqmChapter Double
The middle ground — not too big, not too small. Corner sofa, bar unit, wooden flooring mixed with marbles and velvet fabrics. Same designer furniture DNA as the Baby Double but with a little more breathing room at 25sqm.
King · 25 sqm
Loft
More space to spread out, with a separate sitting area and private bar. Velvets paired with metal furniture, lighting by Bert Frank and Tom Dixon, and Buster and Punch fixtures throughout. The antique wooden floor gives it a warmer, more residential feel than the smaller rooms.
King · 28 sqm
Solo Pad
The smallest room in the house, built for solo travellers. At 17sqm it's compact but well-thought-out — French double bed, warm wooden floor, granite marble bathroom with cement walls and brass fixtures. A desk and chair round it out. Some have a private terrace.
French double (single occupancy) · 17 sqmSuite
The top of the range — generously proportioned by this hotel's standards, with mid-century Italian design at its core. Private bar, separate lounge area, velvet textures with metal furniture, lighting by Bert Frank, and Seletti rugs. Bathrooms in granite marble with brass fixtures. At the upper end these reach 35sqm.

A guided evening out through Rome's after-dark scene led by Lauren, an Italo-American from Brooklyn with deep knowledge of the city's nightlife. Starts at Hey Baby Bar and works through hidden spots, historic haunts, and the kind of places you won't find in any guidebook.
