If you have the cash, stay in this converted convent
that was designed by baroque genius Borromini. It's been beautifully updated - muted
colours complement the serene concave and convex curves of the architecture - and the
service is excellent. The pricier of the 78 rooms overlook the lovely cloister garden or
have views of Rome.
