Soho House Rome

Character and identity

Soho House Rome occupies a restored ten-story Brutalist tower in San Lorenzo, the scrappy student neighbourhood just north of Termini. Inside, the mood pivots from concrete shell to art-led clubhouse: a gallery space showcases young artists above reception, and a 42-seat screening room anchors the film programming. There are 49 bedrooms plus 20 apartments, a ground-floor deli and lounge, an upstairs restaurant reserved for members and guests, and a rooftop cocktail bar styled with lemon trees, striped linen blinds and velvet stools that nods to Dolce Vita Rome. The Soho Health Club gym and pool run 24/7. Service is, in the house phrase, "interested and cool at the same time".

Who's it for

Bottom line

This is Rome filtered through the Soho House lens: art, film, rooftop scene and clubhouse social energy, in a Brutalist tower well outside the tourist core. The location and the in-the-know register make or break the stay. Book it if you want creative-Rome rather than postcard-Rome, and aim for a higher floor to capture the city views the building was designed around.
