Concierge.com's insider take:

Perched at the top of the Spanish Steps, the classic Hassler has spectacular views and—with more gold and brocade than a Palm Beach dowager—a timeless, stately elegance. Bigger rooms come with ornate moldings and ceiling frescoes, and a family-owned atmosphere still prevails. To make sure you get your money's worth, ask for a city-side view. The Hassler also has a restaurant worthy of the hotel's august reputation: stylish rooftop perch Imago, helmed by talented young chef Francesco Apreda. Oenophiles should consider staying at the adjacent Il Palazzetto: four intimate suites above a wine school, restaurant, and bar that are run by the hotel (39-06-699-0878; www.wineacademyroma.com).

The location at the top of the Spanish Steps is "ideal, with easy access to all the sights." The classic room decor includes Venetian lamps, French crystal, and nineteenth-century mirrors. With panoramic views of the Eternal City, the sixth-floor restaurant, Imàgo, serves regional Italian. High marks are given to the "patient and informative concierge."
