Eitch Borromini Palazzo Pamphilj in Rome

If you love history and beauty and if you treasure superb customer service, you must book this Palozzo overlooking Piazza Navona. Once the family residence of a Pope, this 16th century structure connected to a church and a museum is now a beautifully updated elegant Hotel. Close to a wealth of restaurants including a wonderful and romantic eatery on the 4th floor of the hotel that is open for lunches and dinners (best to make reservations through the concierge). Because we visited in December, it was too cold to eat outdoors and we weren't able to enjoy a sunset at the rooftop bar. By the way, 2 taxi drivers commented that the hotel has the best views in the city. Our suite combined new, high end furnishings in the grandeur of the 16th century structure. The old fireplace, large windows and updated bathroom made for a comfortable stay and the in-room safe for valuables added to peace of mind. An elevator made life easier. An included daily breakfast was far beyond what one typically gets in American hotels.
A big part of what makes Palazzo Borromini the special place that it is, is the incredible staff. The Concierge's who work day and night are friendly, warm and gracious, not to mention incredibly informative and helpful. During our stay we didn't meet an employee who wasn't friendly and warm and helpful.
I could go on and on about this gem of a place to stay and we hope to be able to return there soon. Finally, while there, an urgent medical issue arose. The staff response was extraordinary. Not only did they assist us in navigating their medical system, but kept in touch with us throughout the day. Multiple staff members inquired after us and it was lovely and kind beyond the parameters of their work.
For truths sake, the only negative we encountered was also one of the positives. There is a beautiful, rustic interior courtyard open to the outdoors. In December, the cold air funneled upwards. The room was well heated but the hallways got cold and drafty. For us, this was part of the charm of spending time in a genuine place of history.

Staying at Eitch Borromini was an unforgettable experience! The hotel is absolutely stunning — a perfect blend of history, art, and modern comfort, right in the heart of Rome. Waking up to the breathtaking view of Piazza Navona felt like living inside a painting!

The staff were exceptional: warm, attentive, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. Every detail, from the beautifully restored rooms to the elegant breakfast terrace, shows great care and passion for hospitality.

The rooftop bar is simply magical — the view over the city at sunset is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.

I can’t recommend Eitch Borromini enough. It’s not just a hotel — it’s a Roman experience full of charm, elegance, and timeless beauty. I will definitely return on my next visit to Rome!

Such a fantastic hotel. In a former palace, the entire facility is beautiful and charming. Each floor is a separate art gallery, worth walking through the central staircase and exploring each floor.

We had breakfast everyday on the incredible terrace overlooking the piazza and surrounded by the incredible architecture of the attached church!

There is even a secret room the Pope used to spy on the congregation!

Or room was very comfortable, great bedding and sheets, loved the shower.

The staff was always super helpful and friendly with us.

This is a really special place!

Staying at Eitch Borromini was truly unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond, offering warm, personalized service—including vegan dishes specially prepared off-menu just for us, which was such a thoughtful and rare touch.

The location couldn’t be more ideal—right in the heart of historic Rome, with many iconic sites within easy walking distance. Every evening, we joined the locals for a leisurely "passeggiare" through charming piazzas and winding streets, soaking in the city's timeless beauty.

The rooftop bar was our favorite way to unwind at the end of each day—peaceful, scenic, and with the kind of relaxed vibe that makes you want to linger. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and quiet, providing the perfect retreat after full days of exploring.

From the breathtaking views of Piazza Navona to the elegant atmosphere, every detail made us feel immersed in the magic of Rome. We’d return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Amazing hotel. Location is very convenient to reach most of the must-see-places.
Stuff is so welcoming and friendly. Will definitely come here again ♥️

This is a beautiful hotel filled with historical charm and lux amenities, nestled in the heart of the city is close to all that you need. We were walking distance to the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, shopping, and delicious eateries (Osteria Fortunada). The staff was highly professional and quite accommodating and upgraded our room to a two-story apartment to allow more space for the children. They made an extra bed, which was more than we could ask for. Everyone slept in clean comfort after sleeping in a more cozy cabin stay on a 7 night cruise. The staff even secured our luggage for us to allow us to site see before check in.

The complimentary daily breakfast was absolutely fulfilling and delicious! We were expecting to pay for that type of quality and service. The views on the rooftop terrace for breakfast was spectacular! Not to mention the roof top bar and lounge at night (reservation recommended).

The water in the shower did get cold quickly, but that may just be a city issue rather than the hotel itself.

If ever in Rome again, the Eitch Borromini would be our choice!

It is a lovely property on Piazza Navona; what more could you ask for? It is in an ideal location.
