Indulge yourself with luxurious treatments, or take to the baths like the emperors of old, at these restorative retreats in Rome – bookable on Culture Trip.
The Romans developed the concept of restorative bathing, so it’s apt that the modern-day hotel scene in the Italian capital excels at brilliant spas. From huge, cavernous spaces with columns and mosaics to chic, modern-day spas you can duck into for a quick glow-inducing facial, these healing hotels are just what Caesar ordered. Here are the best spas to book on your next city break in Rome.
1. Mama Roma, for rooftop views of the Vatican

The bold design throughout this new addition to the Rome hotel scene has proved a big hit with guests and locals alike. The pizzeria on the ground floor serves up some of the best pizzas in town and the rooftop gives you incredible views of the Vatican. Everything here is done with a sense of fun, from the adult gift boxes you can order to spice up your stay to the amusing messages staff leave in various places. The outdoor spaces are ideal for long summer nights, and there’s a sauna and pool in the basement that feels like a neon-lit throwback to the Roman baths of the past.
2. Aldrovandi Villa Borghese, for hedonistic spa sessions

Set on the fringes of the leafy Villa Borghese park, with its genteel stately home full of art, Aldrovandi is a class act. It has a serene outdoor pool that’s a godsend in the steamy Mediterranean summers, and its Mytha SPA is a petite oasis with a hydrotherapy pool, steam room and sauna, as well as results-driven facials using Biologique Recherche products. Hedonism is encouraged here, as evidenced by the night-time spa sessions with candles and prosecco. Yes, please.
3. Villa Spalletti Trivelli, for rooftop hot tub fun

On the west side of the Tiber River, close to Vatican City, Villa Agrippina is slightly out of the tourist crush, so it’s the perfect setting for a spa break. The all-white, orchid-dotted My Blend by Clarins Spa is a real treat, with a full suite of thermal areas: saunas, steam rooms, sensory showers, an ice fountain and a vitality pool. Book a hot-stone massage to dissolve a few days’ worth of sightseeing fatigue.
6. Grand Hotel Palace, for globally inspired pampering

The leafy restaurant terrace and candy-striped bedrooms at this hotel are every bit as invigorating as its spa, with a sexy, low-lit indoor pool, relaxation lounge and treatment rooms. The pampering sessions draw on global traditions from Indian Ayurveda to Indonesian jamu: try the Java Delight ritual for several treatments, including a coffee-based scrub, packaged up with a traditional spa bath.
7. Anantara Palazzo Naiadi, for short breaks

Close to the Spanish Steps, the spa at this five-star offering is a stylish, earthy number with unpolished concrete walls and basket lanterns, lit by the luminous glow of its indoor pools. The Sicilian product range makes this one of the most Italian-infused spas in Rome: breathe in great lungfuls of orange blossom, olive oil and sea salt during deeply cocooning treatments, or be massaged by hot rocks from Mount Etna.
