Rome Is A Travel Hotspot For 2025 – Here's How To Experience The City In Style

Arguably, Rome is never not having a moment. It has been considered caput mundi – head of the world – for a reason, and almost two millennia, after all. This year, however, the Italian capital does feel particularly alluring. In 2025, Rome will welcome millions of pilgrims for the Vatican Jubilee, host major fashion shows for Dior, Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana, celebrate the 20th anniversary of its glitzy annual Film Festival, and become the official new home of TV's Emily Cooper to boot. Add to this the fact that many of its main monuments have recently been restored, a number of big-name hotels are set to open, and that casual Harry Styles sightings are a regular occurrence nowadays, and it follows that the city is set to be the travel hotspot of the year. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Of course, this means that the already sizeable crowds will likely be more madding than ever for visitors in 2025 – but there is a way to avoid them, and still experience the Eternal City at its very best... Simply follow our luxury travel guide to Rome, for the tried-and-tested, inside track on how to visit the city in serious style. We've done the leg-work to bring you the most fabulous hotels, celebrity-loved restaurants and buzziest bars to know (and book ASAP), as well as the ultra-exclusive travel guides to call on for truly unique experiences while you're in town. Buon viaggio! Hotel Eden Emily Cooper may not have the best track record with romantic partners, chic outfits or BFFs, but her taste in hotels cannot be faulted. Season four saw the Emily in Paris protagonist hole up at the five-star Hotel Eden while she was in Rome, and we can confirm that the Dorchester Collection property is every bit as fabulous in real life as it looked on-screen. It's centrally located and walking distance from all the main hotspots, but with just 98 rooms and the lush Villa Borghese gardens right next door, it offers an elegant, peaceful oasis in which to relax after a hard day's exploring. Think ultra-plush beds, marble bathrooms, a small but perfectly formed spa, and thoughtful personal touches that make it feel like home (but better). Little wonder that over the years, it's acted as the Roman residence for the world's biggest stars. Seriously, though: walk up to the rooftop Il Giardino restaurant (a must-visit for an al fresco dinner) and you'll be greeted with the proof, as signed photographs of everyone from Meryl Streep, Jane Fonda, and Keanu Reeves to Pavarotti and Fellini line the walls. Die-hard Emily In Paris fans will also delight in recognising the exact suite, scenic breakfast spot, grand entrance and plump pink pastries that made cameos in the show. BOOK NOW Bulgari Hotel Roma If unadulterated glitz and glamour are what you're after, look no further than the Bulgari Hotel. Unveiled in 2023 with a next-level opening party attended by Zendaya and Priyanka Chopra, it has brought a whole new level of luxury to Rome – and immediately established itself as the most exclusive address in town. The property is located in the heart of the Campo Marzio district, on the prestigious Piazza Augusto Imperatore that is also home to Augustus' Mausoleum and the Ara Pacis. A most fitting location for a brand with such an illustrious Roman heritage, that blends influences past and present both in its exquisite jewellery and hospitality projects around the world. Inside, the hotel is a celebration of the finest Italian craftsmanship, from the (genuine) ancient sculptures that line the lobby, to the spectacular mosaic floors, Murano chandeliers, bespoke, hand-made furnishings and coloured marble bathrooms in each of the 110 bedrooms. Even the spa is a work of art; a subterranean temple of wellness inspired by the Baths of Caracalla, that offers treatments by Augustinus Bader. Make sure to secure a table at Il Ristorante by Niko Romito for an unforgettable dinner made up of twists on contemporary Italian classics, before closing the day with a digestivo on the rooftop – it's entirely reserved for hotel guests, and reason enough to justify a stay. BOOK NOW Hotel De La Ville Set within an 18th-century palazzo poised practically right on top of the iconic Spanish Steps, Hotel de la Ville is the perfect base from which to explore central Rome's endless wonders. The pure luxury of falling out of bed to sip coffee on your private balcony while looking out onto the city's rooftops and epic monuments beyond simply cannot be overstated. Nor can the joy of taking breakfast in the hotel's sun-soaked courtyard, for that matter, that provides a much-needed moment of quiet before the day's exploring begins – as well as an epic array of fresh-baked pastries to ensure you're adequately fuelled. The interiors are a real highlight here, as has become the norm for any Rocco Forte-owned property. Think funky furnishings, splashes of colour and quirky details aplenty, alongside more classical touches that nod to the historic location. Plus, of course, there's the added treat of having an Irene Forte spa right downstairs, that in this iteration is complete with a Mediterranean salt room, sauna, ice fountain, Kneipp foot baths and hydro and plunge pools. The undisputed highlight, however, is on the roof – more on this below... BOOK NOW art'otel Rome In a quiet corner just moments from Via Veneto, the newly opened art'otel Rome is a design-led jewel bringing contemporary cool to the Eternal City. Opened in March 2025, this five-star boutique hotel is less a place to sleep and more a fully immersive art experience. The sophisticated interiors are sleek and striking, and the artistic soul of the space belongs to Pietro Ruffo, the Roman contemporary artist whose dreamlike constellations, botanical illustrations, and celestial maps are etched into walls, balconies, and corridors. Ruffo's works, which also grace The Vatican and Dior's couture collections, form the hotel's permanent collection—the largest display of his pieces anywhere in the world. Even the lift becomes a canvas, wrapped in fantastical, floor-to-ceiling illustrations that transform a mundane ride into a moment of wonder. Downstairs, YEZI offers a sensual reimagining of pan-Asian cuisine, complete with terrace dining, aperitivo DJ sets, and cocktails inspired by ancient spice routes. A pastel Vespa awaits those craving cinematic city spins, easily arranged by art'otel, and with Jubilee Year unfolding, there's never been a better time to roam Rome. BOOK NOW Pierluigi By all accounts the place to see and be seen in the Eternal City, this legendary, family-run restaurant has been an A-list go-to for decades. Everyone from Charlize Theron and Kendall Jenner to George and Amal Clooney has been spotted here, so don't be surprised if you arrive to the sounds of paparazzi furiously snapping away. It's all part of the fun, though, and certainly lends a certain glamour to proceedings. Don't miss the lobster calamarata pasta, prawn Catalana and raw seafood platters, accompanied by some truly epic wines. CieloBeg, borrow, or steal your way into the rooftop restaurant at Hotel de la Ville, that's well worth visiting whether you're an in-house guest or not. Cielo is nothing short of a hidden gem and guaranteed to be the highlight of any Roman holiday, with its stunning views, awe-inspiring sunsets, and an exceptional fish-focused menu formulated by award-winning chef Fulvio Pierangelini. Go early, stay late, and lap up every romantic second. Hostaria Da Pietro A longtime favourite of well-to-do Romans and celebrities alike, this unassuming restaurant just off Via del Corso and moments from the landmark Piazza del Popolo serves some of the most authentic local fare around. The artichokes are a must, as are the fried courgette flowers and classic Carbonara – all followed by a huge Fiorentina steak for the table to round things off nicely. Save space for a slice of the owner's mother's freshly-baked cakes, too. Stravinskij Bar It's not easy to bag a table at the Hotel de Russie's iconic Stravinskij Bar, but once you're in, you'll understand why. As grand, glorious and greenery-filled as they come, it's set on the hotel's inner courtyard terrace and enveloped in perfectly manicured gardens. It feels a world away from the hustle and bustle beyond the doors; a serene oasis that gets buzzier and buzzier as the evening goes on, much helped by flowing botanical-inspired cocktails. NOTOS Rooftop For a front-row view of the epic Vittoriano monument and some seriously spectacular sunsets, head to the recently opened Six Senses hotel's fabulous rooftop bar. On any given day at aperitivo hour, you'll find a chic selection of well-heeled Romans and in-the-know tourists enjoying a moment of calm amid the urban garden scenery, creative cocktail in hand and with the city quite literally at their feet. Explore the city with Imago Artis When high-profile people and top-tier celebrities come to town, they invariably call on Imago Artis to organise their itineraries. Founded by art historians with unparalleled access to some of the most exclusive spots in the city, they quite literally unlock doors to a secret side of Rome you'd never see otherwise. Think everything from private, out-of-hours tours of the Sistine Chapel and journeying around the city by vintage Alfa Romeo in search of Bernini's lesser-known masterpieces, to mosaic-making in the gardens of a usually-inaccessible palazzo – not a queue or crowd in sight. But we won't reveal too much: this is a company founded on unveiling the usually hidden, treating clients to off-the-beaten-track, once-in-a-lifetime experiences of the most authentic kind; and so an air of secrecy and discretion is part of the package. Just trust us: once you visit the city this way, you'll never look back. Visit the nearby beachesIf you're visiting Rome in the summer months, it's well worth following in the footsteps of locals and embarking on the short journey along the coast for a beach day. By all accounts, the best spots are in Circeo and Sabaudia, but even closer to town you'll find the lovely Santa Marinella beach that boasts charming architecture, proper summer holiday vibes, and particularly excellent seafood lunches at Bianca. Relax Too often during a city break, we find ourselves so overwhelmed with all the new things to see and do, that we forget we're actually meant to be on holiday. Do as the Romans do and embrace il dolce far niente while you're in town – aka, the sweet art of doing nothing. We'd recommend booking into the Bulgari or Six Senses spa for an afternoon of pure indulgence or, if it's tanning weather, spend the day soaking up the rays by the outdoor pool at Rome Cavalieri, that's perched high up in the residential Balduina area and offers a fresh new perspective of Rome (and some excellent people-watching, too.).

6 times a luxury bag stole the show in a TV series

2. Bridget's Burberry Tote in 'Succession' When Tom Wambsgans derides Bridget's enormous Burberry tote as a 'ludicrously capacious bag' in Succession Season 4, it becomes one of the show's most quotable lines—and a cutting example of how fashion choices function as social litmus tests. The checkered Burberry design, once a hallmark of early-2000s aspirational style, is read here as dated and outsized. The bag's size and branding mark Bridget as someone new to wealth, unfamiliar with the codes of quiet luxury. In a show obsessed with class signals and status missteps, the bag becomes an efficient symbol of exclusion, its scale mocked not for utility but for its lack of subtlety. 3. Emily Cooper's Peter & James Atelier Butterfly Bag 'Emily in Paris' In Season 3 of Emily in Paris , Emily Cooper is seen carrying a sculptural Butterfly bag by Peter & James Atelier, a Paris-based brand known for its unconventional shapes and architectural designs. The bag, with its exaggerated curves and matte finish, stands out even among her often eccentric outfits. Unlike legacy fashion houses featured throughout the series, this piece reflects Emily's embrace of bold, visually arresting accessories over heritage classics. The bag serves less as a status symbol than a conversation starter—fitting for a character who thrives on visibility and disruption. 4. Rory Gilmore's Hermès Birkin in 'Gilmore Girls' In Season 6, Logan gives Rory a Hermès Birkin, a gesture that's both lavish and telling. At the time, the Birkin was already established as one of the most recognisable luxury bags in popular culture, known for its scarcity, high price tag and long waitlists. Rory's initial unfamiliarity with the bag highlights the social gap between her and Logan's world. Her acceptance of it marks a shift—from someone navigating privilege from the outside to someone beginning to benefit from it. The moment underscores the tension between her middle-class background and the elite circles she's starting to move in. 5. Blair Waldorf's Lady Dior in 'Gossip Girl' Blair's wardrobe in Gossip Girl was curated with precision, and her Lady Dior bag was no exception. The quilted cannage stitching and top-handle silhouette suited her preference for polished, traditional luxury. Unlike Serena's more bohemian, label-mixed looks, Blair's accessories were anchored in old-guard fashion houses, reinforcing her aspiration to uphold legacy, status and control. The Lady Dior became synonymous with her version of femininity—calculated, elevated and always aligned with the rules of the Upper East Side. Off-screen, its reappearance helped cement the bag's revival for a new generation of viewers. 6. Issa Dee's Telfar Shopping Bag in 'Insecure' In Season 4 of Insecure , Issa Dee carries a white Telfar Shopping Bag—a detail that didn't go unnoticed. At the time, the bag was surging in popularity for its accessibility, genderless design and status as a product of a Black-owned brand challenging traditional luxury norms. For a character navigating career pivots and self-reinvention, the choice felt intentional. Issa's use of the 'Bushwick Birkin' reflected her connection to a broader cultural shift: one that prioritised authenticity and community over gatekeeping. The bag's appearance contributed to its already viral momentum and solidified its relevance beyond fashion circles, including a prime spot on Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour.

Has Paris finally become friendly? I posed as a clueless tourist to find out

The aloof Parisian stereotype has been around for decades, with Paris often voted the most unfriendly city in the world. But lately, something strange has been happening. Parisians haven't started sparkling in the sunlight, but they have, dare I say it, become rather personable. Friends and colleagues agreed. Were they basking in an Olympics afterglow that made it impossible to be mean? (Even though, ironically, there didn't seem to be a Parisian left in the city during the Games.) I decided to put the friendly Parisian theory to the test. I felt like a spy. My partner is Parisian, we speak French at home, and I live in Lyon, but for the purpose of this experiment I decided to channel my inner Emily Cooper from Emily in Paris. I boarded the train pretending that my linguistic skills were limited to 'merci beaucoup' (pronounced like 'merci beau cul', or 'thanks, nice arse'). Innocent and slightly bemused tourist mode activated, I made my way to Le Marais. The variables were in favour of a positive result. Paris basked in 25C bright sunshine, the kind of weather where toes poke out of Juliette balconies and even the grumpiest Parisian is at least 50 per cent sunnier in disposition. Since I was here to observe Parisians in their natural habitats, I skipped sightseeing in favour of a café. Disappointingly, the woman who served me was American. It's ironic that we have so many preconceptions around Parisians when many people living there aren't Parisian at all. But perhaps it's like the Berlin effect. Take a nerdy kid from rural Shropshire and drop them in Berlin and within a few months they'll have a shaved head, a tonne of tattoos and a love of techno. Do the same in Paris and they become aloof and solely dressed in monochrome. Two other variables were in my favour. I was alone, and from experience seem to always give off a 'please-talk-to-me-no matter-how-weird-you-are' vibe (a nightmare on buses). Sure enough, it wasn't long before a Frenchman struck up an unsolicited conversation with me. 'I was at law school with Marine Le Pen,' he said. 'She was brunette then, so as you English say, you can be sure the carpet doesn't match the drapes.' Eccentric, yes, but I couldn't fault the man for his friendliness. I crossed Place des Vosges, a mass of bare skin and pigeons in the sunshine, to look for a bistro for lunch. Rocking up at a bistro at 1.30pm, the end of lunch service, is already taboo, doing so with a big grin and an emphatic 'bon JOUR!' even more so. 'Do you have a menu in English?' I asked, but it was already there, a scannable QR code with (almost) entirely accurate translations of the dishes. I eavesdropped on the conversations around me, wondering if anyone would comment on this annoying, too loud British woman. Nothing. The waiter replied to me in very passable English, and was all smiles. I was 15 the first time I came to Paris, on a school trip. One of the girls in my year was half French, and I remember her raining a torrent of choice French swear words on two middle-aged women on the metro – words I didn't understand then but would now – and our flustered teacher trying to repair the damage. Sharing their coach with a gaggle of loud and overexcited schoolchildren had brought out all their Parisianness, and they'd said some pretty rude stuff. In hindsight, who could blame them? No-one relishes sharing their coach with a eurotrip. My food arrived almost alarmingly fast. I dropped my book on the floor – accidentally I might add, this wasn't a Michelin fork test, and the person at the table next to me scooped it up straight away. Remember when the New York Times wrote that Paris had really bad coffee? It was such a slight that the city yo-yoed the other way, and now you can't move for bean-to-cup roasters with a library of plant milk. Perhaps this new-found friendliness is less Olympic hangover and more a matter of pride. Outside Hôtel de Sully, I asked a woman to take a photo of me (for this article of course). She had headphones in, but Anna in Pariswas obnoxious. She also didn't speak any English, so I acted out my request like a game of charades, getting her to take horizontal and vertical shots. She wasn't only obliging, she smiled. On the metro, I saw someone help a woman with a pushchair unsolicited. As I boarded the train back to Lyon, I even overheard someone helping a fellow passenger with their luggage say 'avec un sourire, on arrive à tout faire' ('we can do anything with a smile'). Was I on the lookout for positivity? Definitely, but perhaps by damning Parisians with a cold reputation we've been predisposing them to live up to it. Who knows whether all these friendly Parisians were radiating post-Olympic bonheur or whether it was simply a sunny day in the City of Light, but this Briton was greeted with nothing but warmth. I'll have to reconduct the experiment in the rain to be sure.

Rome if you want to: Where to stay and eat in the Eternal City in 2025

This year was always meant to be a busy one for Rome. The holy Jubilee — a Catholic event that happens every 25 years — is bringing more attention to what is, perhaps, already the most visited city in the world (35 million tourists annually to be exact). Who can blame the travellers? Everyone dreams of experiencing the Eternal City at least once in their lives, and even fictional characters like Emily Cooper can't escape its charms (Emily in Paris Season 5, which airs this year is confirmed to be filmed in both Paris and Rome). From imagining gladiators battling it out at the Colosseum to doing the customary coin toss at the newly restored Trevi Fountain, there's plenty to do at this open-air museum. Too much, in fact. The Italians have a saying: 'Roma, non basta una vita', which translates to one lifetime is not enough to experience everything Rome has to offer. So if you only have a few days to visit, make room for the best. Here's an edit of places to check into and to check out on your next trip. STAY Bvlgari Hotel Roma For the luxury jewellery brand, this isn't just a hotel; it's a homecoming to their birthplace, Rome. So it comes as no surprise that they've pulled out all the stops when creating their flagship property. First, the location: It's right on Piazza Augusto Imperatore and set inside a historic rationalist-style building overlooking Caesar Augustus tomb. Inside, Bvlgari Hotel Roma melds various influences from Art Deco to Mid-century Modern tied together by a subtle yet rich colour scheme of ivory, cashmere and ochre. Impeccably designed by ACPV architects, the international practice of Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, it has a serious wow factor but also a welcoming atmosphere that you may not immediately associate with a luxury brand. You feel the warmth at the lovely Il Caffe by Niko Romito on the ground floor, where locals drop in for an espresso and well-coiffed ladies enjoy a relaxed, reasonably priced lunch. Another spot open to the public is La Terrazza, a stunning rooftop terrace with killer views of Villa Medici, the Tiber and as far as the Janiculum Hill. As expected, the exclusive guest spaces are a feast for the eyes: From the marble-clad rooms and suites to the chic Bvlgari spa with an emerald swimming pool inspired by ancient Roman baths, you'll easily feel like an emperor when staying here. Hotel Eden If you're an Emily in Paris fan, you may have clocked that Hotel Eden is where Miss Cooper checks in when she visits Rome in Season 4. Quelle surprise: the hotel has long been a go-to for the style set, thanks to its supreme location close to Via Veneto, a street made famous by the film La Dolce Vita. Set-jetting or not, there's a lot to admire about the five-star property. The building that houses Hotel Eden dates back to 1889 — relatively new in Roman terms — but it's not lacking in grandeur. Decorated with Murano lamps and swathes of Carrara marble, each of the 98 suites has a distinct residential quality inviting you to imagine what it's like to live here. One of the biggest draws is its (literal) elevated position, making it easy to take in landmarks such as the Vatican and Il Vittoriano. You don't even have to stay the night to get a glimpse of the sweeping views: the hotel's fine dining restaurant, La Terrazza, and the more casual outlet, Il Giardino, are the best vantage points to gaze at Rome's golden-hued landscape. Palazzo Talia Rome has seen an influx of new hotels over the last year (and more to come in 2025), but there's no buzzier opening so far than that of Palazzo Talia. Situated right in the heart of Centro Storico (historic centre), the hotel is set in a Renaissance residence close to the Trevi Fountain. Originally built for a papal secretary then turned into the headquarters of Colegio Nazareno, the 16th century structure has witnessed plenty of historic events, and its new era invites you to write your own story, too. Pass the stone arch and you're ushered into a world of impossibly high ceilings, lavish frescos, sumptuous colour combinations, and more. If the interiors feel incredibly cinematic, well, it's by design. The spaces are created by Italian film director Luca Guadagnino, who directed Challengers and is behind the upcoming remake of American Psycho. EAT Roscioli Ask any insider which place not to miss in Rome and one name will consistently come up: Roscioli. The beloved family operation actually refers to a collection of outlets including the legendary bakery, Antico Forno, which opened in 1824; Salumeria, a gourmet deli and casual restaurant championing the finest artisan products in Italy; and Rimessa, a spacious restaurant with an outstanding wine list (the cellar has over 2,800 bottles). For lunch, park yourself at Salumeria Roscioli to enjoy a beautiful selection of cheese, cured meats and heartwarming dishes like homemade ravioli filled with Roman oxtail stew and pecorino cheese. At dinner, score a table at Rimessa Roscioli and order celebrated recipes like Tagliolini cacio e pepe and Polpette al sugo e caciocavallo. If you have more time, it's worth booking one of the immersive food and wine tasting experiences led by their in-house experts. Armando al Pantheon View this post on Instagram A post shared by ArmandoAlPantheon (@armandoalpantheon) This storied establishment run by the Gargioli family since 1961 proves there are authentic restaurants to be found even in the most touristy areas. Located steps away from the Pantheon, this family-owned gem serves up traditional Roman plates and seasonal dishes complemented with a wonderful wine list. Unless you're Willem Dafoe (who's apparently a regular and lives near the ancient monument itself), this is not a place you just stroll into. Book ahead or ask your hotel concierge to work their magic to get a guaranteed table. Orma Roma Colombia-born chef Roy Caceres is a fine-dining veteran behind one of the most interesting openings in the city — Orma, whose name is an anagram of Rome. The one-Michelin-starred restaurant offers innovative takes on Italian dishes blended with Caceres' heritage, all presented in a minimalist setting. Seek out his signature Uovo 65° Carbonara, which appears in the bistrot menu; those keen on the full experience should rightfully splurge on the Indelible Traces or Current Traces menu. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ristorante Angelina (@ristorante_angelina) Rome is bursting with trattorias, but few come with such inherent charm as Ristorante Angelina a Testaccio. The restaurant offers a slew of Roman classics — amatriciana, coda alla vaccinara, and saltimbocca alla romana — made with ultra-fresh ingredients, so it hits differently. Nab one of the snug corner tables for a romantic dinner or a relaxed catch-up with friends over delicious fare. Ristorante Piatto Romano Another trattoria to bookmark is Piatto Romano, whose humble interiors belie the bounty of food to be had. Set in the buzzing Testaccio district — a five-minute stroll away from Ristorante Angelina, to be precise — this place is teeming with locals, a sure sign of the quality on offer. Traditional recipes are given a creative twist, so expect dishes like deer tartare seasoned with chopped salted lemons and gin. Santo Palato View this post on Instagram A post shared by SantoPalato - Roma (@santopalatoroma) Looking for the right mix of old and new? That's what you'll find at Santo Palato, a fresh take on the trattoria set in a retro-style space. Chef Sarah Cicolini dutifully cooks the classics yet interprets it her way. In fact, a yolky carbonara and rich offal dishes were what shot her to fame. As with any good trattoria, the kitchen has chalkboard specials crafted with seasonal produce. Recently featured in World's 50 Best Discovery, now's the time to go before it becomes harder to book. Bonci Pizzarium View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bonci (@bonci_gabriele) If you're searching for a place to eat near the Vatican, look no further than this pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) outlet. Founded by Gabriele Bonci (who appeared in Netflix's Chef's Table: Pizza), this Roman pizzeria is popular for a reason: Heirloom wheat dough meets amazing organic produce and artisanal meat and cheese. Go for one of the simple, original creations like potato and mozzarella, or a slice of the daily specials (toppings change frequently based on what's fresh and available). Since you'll likely have to queue for a while, no one's going to look twice if you order two slices for yourself. Seu Pizza Illuminati Craving more pizza? This contemporary pizzeria in Porta Portese, a stone's throw away from Trastevere, is worth seeking out. With the motto 'in pizza we trust', you can be sure that they're serious about their pies here — and they're not ranked 5th in Italy and 10th globally in the World's 50 Best Pizza list for nothing. Established by a husband-and-wife team, Seu Pizza Illuminati's award-winning pizza is made in a wooden oven resulting in a light dough with a lovely crunch that goes perfectly with their tight selection of cocktails and beers. The Jerry Thomas Speakeasy View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Jerry Thomas Speakeasy (@ Opened in 2010, this speakeasy-style bar is the flagbearer of Rome's cocktail culture — proven by its consistent inclusion on best bar lists. Though it's firmly on the map, that doesn't mean there are no surprises to be had at this renowned Roman watering hole. The cloaks-and-daggers arrival experience is still special: Make a reservation, get the code then off you go to the secret door. Once inside, get ready to savour exquisite cocktails and an old-school vibe that will have you coming back.
