The ivy façade of Largo Febo

The Raphaël is at Largo Febo, 2, a quiet little square a few metres from Piazza Navona. It is a luxury five-star, a member of Relais & Châteaux since 2010, and is recognisable at once: the façade is covered in ivy, Virginia creeper, wisteria and bougainvillea, which in spring hide it almost entirely. Inside there are graphic works by Miró, Picasso and other artists spread through the lounges.

Rooms

It has 50 rooms, 20 of them suites. A number, the Richard Meier ones, were redesigned by the American architect's studio, with white lines, oak, leather and Carrara marble; others keep a classic style. Some suites have their own terrace.

The terrace and Mater Terrae

On the roof is Mater Terrae, a plant-based, organic restaurant opened in 2013, with a panoramic terrace over the domes of the centre: St Peter's can be seen in the background. For non-guests, it is the way to get to know the hotel. From here you walk to Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, Castel Sant'Angelo and the Vatican.
