Review
Opened in early 2015 by hoteliers Emanuele Garosci and Gabriele Salini, G-Rough is among a new crop of design-oriented boutique hotels to hit Rome recently. The property offers 10 suites spread across 5 floors of a 16th century building on the edge Piazza Pasquino. The rooms--all suites--face either onto the square or and internal garden and each is decorated with art and design pieces, which evoke the feeling of a contemporary Venetian residence (a nod to the hotel's sister property Palazzina G in Venice). Each floor is inspired by the work of a different Italian designer, including Giò Ponti and Ico Parisi.
Who Should Stay
Travelers who want to be in the middle of it all, but desire a retreat that embraces design and understated luxury.
