Hotel Leon's Place, Rome

Set in a glamorous palace of the eighteenth century, the Leons Place is a brand new design hotel with lots of black, shiny mirrors and chandeliers giving it a feeling of Grande Dame.

It’s not quite a top-end luxury hotel, but it’s far from uncomfortable — space is relatively plentiful, especially in the junior suites, and the offerings include a bar and lounge and a wellness center complete with spa.

There’s no restaurant as such, but there is a light snack menu with a few lunch and dinner options available in the dining room between noon and 11pm.

This dark jewel of a room is the same place you'll enjoy your delicious breakfast every morning (unless you choose to take it in your bedroom, of course).
