Historical undercurrents run strong in this bank-turned-hotel, which was designed in the 19th century to reflect architecture of the Italian Renaissance. Classical pillars still stand in the lobby, and the rooms and restaurants have a “darkly elegant beauty” according to Flea Hoefl von Löhneysen, who also praises the location. “Hotel de Rome is right by Unter den Linden Street and the Gendarmenmarkt, a mecca for a girl’s day off from being mummy!” she says.
