Book the Hotel Eden. It rates higher (9.5 vs 9.4), costs $287 less a night, and has a longer, more established review history (139 vs 56). The Hassler counters with its rooftop and unbeatable perch at the top of the Spanish Steps, but the Eden gives you parking, pet allowance and a bar the Hassler doesn't list, plus one of the great restaurant views in the city from La Terrazza.
The Hassler sits at the very top of the Spanish Steps, and that address does most of the talking before you even walk in. The lobby is a study in Roman old-money glamour: marble floors, gilt mirrors, low lamps, the kind of hush that makes you lower your voice. Imàgo restaurant and its rooftop bar look out over the city's rooftops and domes, a view that has drawn film stars and diplomats for decades. It's a hotel built for people who want to be seen arriving, and it delivers that with total confidence.
Right for guests who want to walk out the door straight onto the Spanish Steps and be in the thick of Rome's most photographed corner.
The Eden, run by Dorchester Collection, sits up near Via Veneto in a quieter, more residential stretch, a short walk from the Spanish Steps but a different register entirely. Rooms lean classic Italian: silk, dark wood furniture, restrained colour, the sense of a grand apartment rather than a stage set. The real draw is La Terrazza, the rooftop restaurant, where the whole of Rome unfolds beneath you while you eat, arguably the best dinner view in the city. It feels less about spectacle at the door and more about what happens once you're inside.
Right for guests who want a quieter address, a serious rooftop dinner, and the option to bring a dog or park a car.
Booking the Hassler over the Eden means losing the pet allowance, on-site parking, and a listed bar, real conveniences for anyone driving in or travelling with an animal.
The Eden's rooftop dining room, with Rome spread out below it, is the more purely beautiful place to spend an evening, even if the Hassler's lobby wins on sheer theatre.

“We have been coming to this hotel for many years, and we absolutely love the service and the staff.”
“The hotel exceeded all expectations.”
Hassler guests seem happier overall, praising staff warmth and location with only one complaint about cleanliness, while Eden guests note a billing surprise and uncomfortable beds alongside their praise.
We have been coming to this hotel for many years, and we absolutely love the service and the staff. However, this time the room was very dirty. There was visible dust and dirty carpet. We have brought it to the attention of the front desk and hope they deep clean the rooms.
“Best stay in Rome”
Absolute wonderful staff , could not have been more attentive!
We travel a lot one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in
Breakfast is good
They charged me 22€ after I leave and i don't know why! I paid all the bills before i go
“An exceptional luxury experience with impeccable service and unforgettable hospitality. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
The hotel exceeded all expectations. The staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay. The room was elegant, spotless, and very comfortable. The location is excellent, offering beautiful views and easy access to the city’s main attractions. The breakfast was outstanding, and every detail reflected the high standards of a luxury hotel.
Honestly, there was very little to dislike. If I had to mention something, the stay was too short to fully enjoy all the hotel’s facilities.

The beds where extremely soft. Terrible sleep.
