Book the St. Regis. It rates higher (9.4 vs 9.1 across far more reviews, 330 to 194), and costs $1,044 against Six Senses' $1,527. Both are 5-star and central, but the St. Regis undercuts by nearly a third while outperforming on guest satisfaction and facilities including a health club and spa. Six Senses is newer and fashionable, but on the numbers alone this isn't close.
Six Senses Rome opened inside a restored 16th-century palazzo on Piazza San Marcello, and the brand's signature is a kind of pared-back, wellness-forward luxury: limestone, warm timber, biophilic touches, low lighting, a spa culture built into the bones of the place rather than bolted on as an afterthought. The public rooms favour texture over gilt, terracotta and linen over marble and gold leaf, and the terrace looks over Roman rooftops rather than a grand boulevard. It draws a design-literate, discreetly wealthy crowd who want five-star comfort without the chandeliers.
Six Senses suits travellers who want contemporary, spa-led luxury and a quieter, design-forward aesthetic tucked into the historic centre.
The St. Regis Rome, opened in 1894 as the Grand Hotel by César Ritz, is Belle Époque through and through: gilt mirrors, frescoed ceilings, crystal chandeliers, a grand staircase that still looks built for a diplomatic entrance. The Writing Room and the bar carry that old European hotel formality, all brocade and polished brass, and the location near Piazza della Repubblica and the Via Veneto puts it in the thick of Rome's 19th-century boulevard grandeur rather than its medieval alleys. It suits guests who want the theatre of an old grand hotel, and to feel history in the fabric of the building.
The St. Regis suits travellers who want the full grand-hotel experience, ornate interiors, and proven service pedigree, at a lower price than the newer competitor.
On the facility lists neither hotel is shown lacking anything the other has, so the real trade-off is that Six Senses' fresher, wellness-oriented interiors and brand cachet come at a $483-a-night premium over the St. Regis's older but more decorated and higher-rated property.
The St. Regis is the more beautiful room to stand in, its frescoes and chandeliers doing what Six Senses' quiet minimalism deliberately avoids, but Six Senses has the more interesting spatial idea for anyone tired of gilt.

Location
From the very beginning, I would strongly advise guests not to rely on the prices shown on Booking.com for this hotel, as the rates are extremely overpriced compared with the actual quality of the stay and service. The bed was very uncomfortable, and there were constant disturbing noises that made it extremely difficu
“Such a Great Hotel”
The style of this hotel is beautiful, and the staff are amazing. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect as well. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I really enjoyed my stay
The only downside was the limited variety of food options on the Bivium restaurant menu. I would have appreciated having more choices available.
“Best hotel in Rome for that level”
Location, design, atmosphere, international jet set, gym and Spa are top notch
The price might be exaggerated depending on the season but…

“Fantastic Experience at St. Regis Rome!”
St. Regis Rome provided the best hotel stay that my family has ever had. From the moment we were welcomed at check-in, the experience was perfect in every way. We recently stayed for a few nights on either end of a side trip to another region of Italy, and the entire staff - from the head of guest relations to housekeeping - made it feel like our home away from home. We will never stay anywhere else in Rome, and pl
