Rome
First Hotel, Rome
Rome, 00186, Italy
This sleek newcomer to the luxury hotel scene may not be to all tastes; the bright white lobby, with its small, over-lit bar lacks coziness, despite the admittedly magnificent four-story, glass-roofed atrium, onto which room corridors face. The 29 rooms and suites themselves are more appealing and spacious for Rome (the smallest clocks in at about 220 square feet), kitted out with spacious dark-marble baths, ambient lighting, and impressive selections of art and culture books. But the First’s most impressive selling point is really its terrace bar-restaurant.
