Glossary

5-star hotel
High hotel category associated with comfort, service, and facilities standards. It does not fully define style or atmosphere.
Boutique hotel
Smaller hotel with a strong identity. In Rome, this format suits discreet stays and highly central locations.
Concierge service
Key service for arranging transfers, restaurants, private visits, and priority access. In a dense city like Rome, it saves real time.
Historic address
Hotel set in an old or emblematic location. This matters greatly in Rome, where location often weighs as much as the room itself.
Palace
Official French distinction above 5-star level. It is not an Italian rating. In Rome, it mainly signals prestige recognized by the French market.
View over Rome
A major criterion in the city. Terraces and higher floors noticeably change the experience, especially around the Spanish Steps and the historic center.
