Fodor's Review:
Once the top hangout for Rome's 1990s wheeler-dealers and yacht-brokers, currently the retreat for Berlusconi's courtiers, the Lord Byron has been a byword for decadent chic for some time. When this villa first opened (with a rather overrestored exterior) it was Rome's first boutique hotel and still retains much of that jewel-like charm inside. Hanging on the elegant white walls, a painted bevy of Divinely Deco beauties eye you as you enter the intimate public salons, where sidetables are adorned with objets d'art and art books. This is a private world where carpets are deep and diamonds are big, so you won't have too much fun here if you don't find cheek-kissing second nature. The downstairs bar -- a magnificent piece of cabinetry -- is a conversation piece. Nearby is the new Sapori restaurant, whose in-house French chef earns consistently high marks. Upstairs, modern and antique styles combine to create highly polished opulence in the guest rooms. Surrounded by the twittering of birds in the posh and pricey Parioli district, the Lord Byron feels like a small country hotel, or better, a small country manor where you are the lord.
