Palazzo Ripetta

What the classifiers highlight

A seventeenth-century convent became this 1920s-style hotel on Via di Ripetta, its 78 rooms in art deco by designer Fausta Gaetani: red, blue or green textile headboards against ecru walls hung with the owner's contemporary art. Forbes counts four stars. The rooftop terrace, Etere, pours wine from Italy, France, the US and Australia near the Trevi Fountain.
