The company

If Rome is your oyster, then Chapter Roma’s your bedrock.

Find us behind an old door in a narrow side street of Regola. We’re not fancy, and we’re not not-fancy.

Glamorous and gritty, the hotel’s public spaces are filled with a mix of classic and contemporary art and graffiti to parallel the creative spirit and energy of the famously vibrant neighbourhood, with featuring art by Warios1, Cyrcle, Drew Merrit and Willy Verginer.

The rooms on the other hand are just that, great rooms. Simple but surprising, curated with a mix of local and international designer furniture pieces and bespoke finishes.

Our rooms are little calms in the cities historic, cultural, and nightlife storms.
