Located near Villa Borghese’s gorgeous gardens, The Duke Hotel is an urban four-star retreat for a perfect history- and food-fuelled break. Pay a visit to Vatican City, toss a coin in Trevi Fountain and connect with your inner gladiator at the Colosseum. Make sure you procure a creamy gelato and take part in the nightly passeggiata too.

Complete with delicious Italian cuisine at the I Duchi restaurant, you’ll be in Old Country heaven. Sample wines, olive oils and fine cheeses from Italy’s Lazio region, before sinking into The Polo Lounge’s damask-style sofas and sipping on a cocktail. The huge marble fireplace will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It’s no wonder TripAdvisor granted The Duke Hotel a Certificate of Excellence.
