Hotel Scenario
Minimalist Roman design boutique. Think monochrome palette — silver and beige — with custom wooden furniture by local artisans, smoked glass panels separating sleeping and bathing areas, and marble bathrooms with Italian rainfall showers. Cool, zen, and a little theatrical (the name is an intentional reference to the traveler as the main actor in their own story).

Why It Matters
Michelin Guide-listed boutique in a genuine 17th-century palazzo, with a design by Studio MORQ that keeps the original frescoes and stonework rather than erasing them. Acqua di Parma bathroom products, a small spa with sauna and hammam, and a rooftop terrace — at a location that puts Piazza Navona, Campo de' Fiori, and the Pantheon all within walking distance.
Hotel Scenario sits behind an unassuming wooden door on a quiet side street a short walk from the Pantheon. Inside a renovated 17th-century palazzo, designers Studio MORQ stripped everything back to clean lines and minimalist spaces — then left the good stuff intact: original frescoes, stone staircases, timbered ceilings up to 4–5 metres high. The result is a small, serious design hotel where the contrast between old and new is the whole point.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
Double Room
The entry-level room — compact at 19 sqm but thoughtfully designed by Studio MORQ. Natural wooden double bed, large Italian-style rainfall shower, and the full set of amenities. An extra single bed can be added on request, making it workable for three. All materials are natural — wood, metal, linen, leather — and linen panels filter the light from the windows.
Double, with option to add one single · 19 sqm
Suite
The hotel's largest category. Features two bedrooms, both with king-size wooden beds, and a large bathroom with shower. Suited for anyone wanting proper room to breathe in central Rome. Minimalist atmosphere carries through — silver and beige tones, custom furniture, linen panels on the windows.
Two Kings
Superior Room
All Superior rooms were designed by Studio MORQ with king-size wooden beds and wooden wardrobes crafted by local artisans. Large bathrooms with shower. Some rooms have ceilings that soar to 4 or 5 metres and overlook 16th-century frescoes — genuinely dramatic. Select rooms can accommodate a third person with an extra bed. Some have private balconies.
