Suite of the week: The Roman Penthouse at the Regina Hotel Baglioni, Rome, Italy

Suite name: The Roman Penthouse, Regina Hotel Baglioni Location: Rome, Italy Size of accommodation: 6,000 sq ft Cost per night: $18,000 What makes it special: Perched atop the 8th floor of the Regina Hotel Baglioni, the undoubted highlight of the Roman Penthouse is the vast outdoor terrace, giving guests unrivalled 360-degree views of the Eternal City.

Sprawling across more than 6,000 sq feet of indoor and outdoor space, the Baglioni’s Penthouse Suite is the ultimate in luxury and took many months of effort to finish. Milan-based designers Rebosio+Spagnulo recruited the finest artisans and craftsmen to create truly breathtaking interiors and exteriors across the suite.

Bespoke pieces include custom-made furniture from Gabana Arredamenti and a $20,000 chandelier in the master bedroom by renowned Venice glassmaker Lu Murano. Beautiful modern glass lighting creations by Vistosi complete the look along with fabrics from Domus Market and stunning marble bath by Mongardini. No detail has been left to chance in this huge, exquisite private suite, which has one master bedroom, two further bedrooms, a dining room and living area, along with a kitchen and bar.

Blending contemporary design, with traditional Italian style, the Penthouse is a haven of soothing creams, dove grey, pale blues and marble floors. Outside, the terrace wraps around the suite, giving 250sq metres of outdoor space. A private jacuzzi by Kos allows guests to relax while soaking up the birds-eye views of some of Rome’s most famous sights, stretching from the Sistine Chapel to the Colosseum and beyond. There’s also a fitness area on the terrace, with Technogym equipment, surely making it one of the most scenic workout spots on the planet.

Easy rivalling the very best views anywhere in the world, the Roman Penthouse has service to match its stunning setting, making it the perfect suite for entertaining.

A butler is on hand along with the services of a private chef and a barman who can whip up some of the Baglioni’s delectable cocktail specialities. It may take a lot of willpower to leave the sublime sanctuary of the Roman Penthouse. But, when guests are ready to venture out, a dedicated in-suite concierge is ready to arrange exclusive luxury Rome experiences including a private limo service.

For guests who stay three nights or more, there is also the opportunity to enjoy a private tour of the Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museums and St Peter’s Basilica. The 5 star Regina Hotel Baglioni, which sits on the Via Veneto, one of Rome’s most illustrious streets, was already a favourite with the international jet set. But the new Roman Penthouse has sent its luxury credentials soaring into the stratosphere.

As the hotel’s marketing campaign highlights, the Roman Penthouse will certainly “upgrade your idea of a suite”. If you would like to be featured as ‘suite of the week’ on A Luxury Travel Blog, please contact us.
