The Portrait
Via Condotti is the street that runs from the Spanish Steps down towards the Corso, and it is the shopping street of Rome. Portrait Roma sits above it. That is the fact to hold on to: you are inside the historic centre, on foot from Piazza di Spagna, and yet you are upstairs, off the pavement, behind a door most people walking below never notice.
There are fourteen suites, between 33 and 190 square metres — 355 to 2,045 square feet — and each one has a fully equipped kitchenette rather than a full kitchen. That distinction matters for a long stay: you can make breakfast and heat a meal, and you will still eat out. The interiors are by Michele Bönan, and the house belongs to the Lungarno Collection, the hotel group of the Ferragamo family, which is why the service reads as lifestyle rather than front desk.
The nightly rate is not published on the house’s own site; the suites are quoted by dates on the number above.
Who it suits: a week or a month in the centre of Rome for someone who wants the address on Via Condotti, a terrace over the roofs, and the smallest possible number of other guests.
