The Rome Marriott Grand Hotel Flora is a classy, upscale option just next to peaceful Villa Borghese on Via Veneto. The 155 rooms are handsome, with amenities including queen or king beds, high thread-count linens, bathrobes and slippers, and pillow menus -- but you'll need to join the chain's free loyalty program for free Wi-Fi. The wraparound rooftop terrace with spectacular views and a fantastic free breakfast buffet are guest favorites, while an informal bar and restaurant, separate Mediterranean gourmet restaurant, and fitness center round out leisure facilities. Business facilities include 10 meeting rooms and a business center, although internet access isn’t free. Though service is generally lauded by guests, Marriott Rewards members tend to feel less pampered. For a modern business hotel with Wi-Fi included, try UNA Hotel Roma instead.

The four-pearl Le Agavi Hotel is in a spectacular cliffside location just outside of Positano, with beautiful panoramic views of the Amalfi Coast and surrounding mountains. Spread over five levels and connected by a funicular cable car and elevators, its 55 spacious guest rooms have balconies or terraces overlooking the sea. Room decor varies between classic and modern, but all are attractive and come with espresso machines, free Wi-Fi, and minibars. The hotel offers a host of notable features like an outdoor pool with a stunning view and nearby massage hut, private beach, two restaurants and three bars, and a large terrace with sea vistas. It's a bit removed from the center of town, though the hotel does provide a free hourly shuttle service. For something directly in Positano, check out the similarly priced Covo Dei Saraceni.

Twenty-four elegantly furnished rooms blend historic features such as frescoes and decorative fireplaces with modern designs; select rooms have balconies or terraces with Spanish Steps views. Suites and apartments are also available, with kitchenettes in some. The standout feature is a lovely rooftop terrace with Trinita dei Monti church views and where a free breakfast can be taken. There’s also a lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows for indoor dining and cocktails. As far as location goes, this hotel reigns supreme with designer boutiques and the Spanish Steps directly out the front doors. For a hotel with a spa and pool, check out the Palazzo Montemartini.

Looking every bit the stately, historic, and luxurious hotel it is, the 75-room Grand Hotel Fasano impresses from arrival. The 19th-century property is surrounded by beautiful gardens and is perched right on the shore of Lake Garda. Though it's secluded, it's within easy access to the nearest town and its dock for excursions around the lake. A room with a lake-view balcony is worth the upgrade, though all are elegant and airy, plus equipped with mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Guests need not worry about driving into town for dinner if they don't want to: Although pricey, the property's several on-site restaurants are all exquisite -- and with plenty of features, including an Aveda spa, it's hard to feel anything but relaxed here.

Yes, four-pearl Artemide's prices are higher than those of its nearby competitors. With the higher rates, though, comes a renovated spa, complete with indoor pools, sauna, and massage room. There's a large free breakfast, a popular rooftop bar and restaurant, and free minibars in the stylish rooms. This property is also smack in the middle of central Rome, within walking distance of the Piazza Della Repubblica and Termini Station, making this hotel convenient and decidedly upscale.

Of the three high-end hotels in the vicinity, the Covo Dei Saraceni is the only one on the beach with a pool overlooking Positano Bay and the spectacular Amalfi coastline. Crowds on the beach and boats headed to and from the nearby ferry dock can be a bit noisy, but rooms overall are pretty quiet and many are equipped with private hot tubs and two balconies. Exploring the ancient cliffside town involves a walk uphill, but the return trip is always downhill. There are three restaurants (including a brasserie with delicious pizza), and a gelateria, and though the Covo may be the most expensive hotel in the area, many guests feel it’s worth it.

The Hotel Campo De' Fiori has a lot of secrets, and you'd be wise to ask the front desk about all of them. For starters, this centuries-old hotel was once a bordello visited by priests, and there are preserved details found throughout the property. Historic scandals aside, there's character and charm in spades at this property, which might have one of the best locations in the city. Campo de' Fiori is literally around the corner, as are countless trendy boutiques and eateries. The rooftop terrace is spectacular and has views of nearly every landmark in Rome. They also offer a great free breakfast with espresso, croissants, and chocolate. If you're after a more modern look in the same part of town, check out nearby Hotel Damaso instead, though it lacks the same cool history.

This Beaux Arts property has occupied prime space on the celebrated Via Veneto since 1906, and was made famous by Federico Fellini’s 1960 movie “La Dolce Vita.” The elegant hotel, rebranded by Westin several years ago, has hosted celebrities and statesmen, and also has the distinction of having the largest suite in Europe, the nearly 12,000-square-foot Villa La Cupola. Some guests say the property is beginning to show its age, but that it offers good value for a five-pearl hotel. Rooms are nicer than at the nearby (and often similarly priced) Rome Marriott Grand Flora, though those looking for a more boutique experience may want to consider The First Luxury Art Hotel.

The 88-room iQ Hotel Roma is located in a five-story building that was formerly a bank about a 10-minute walk from the Termini train station. This no-frills property is all about modern functionality, with a concept that encourages guests to help themselves (vending machines, laundry room, and even a self-serve bar). There is a covered rooftop garden, a play area for kids, fitness center, and sauna. Rooms are modern and unfussy with mini-fridges and flat-screen TVs. No-frills service in an upscale hotel might not be to everyone's taste, the nearby Welcome Piram Hotel is a good alternative.
