As the Roman sun begins to rise and summer settles over the city, few destinations offer the effortless blend of elegance and serenity quite like Palazzo Dama. Tucked just moments from the Spanish Steps and the lush expanse of Villa Borghese, this former aristocratic villa-turned-five-star haven is where the vibrancy of the city meets the calm of a garden retreat.
At the heart of Palazzo Dama’s summer allure lies its jewel-toned outdoor pool — a rare find in central Rome. Framed by olive trees and the scent of lemons in bloom, this tranquil oasis invites guests to unwind with a signature Pisco Sour, dine under the stars, or simply bask in the sun’s glow beside glistening waters. Whether you’re seeking reprieve after a day exploring Rome’s treasures or indulging in a sun-soaked afternoon, the garden pool offers an escape that feels worlds away.

Palazzo Dama’s garden experience isn’t reserved solely for overnight guests. Day visitors are warmly welcomed to enjoy a refined lunch, a candlelit dinner, or a perfectly timed aperitif by the pool. For those craving deeper rejuvenation, the DAHAM Health & Beauty Spa opens its doors to non-guests as well, offering a serene hideaway where wellness takes centre stage.
Dining at PACIFICO, the hotel’s acclaimed signature restaurant, is a sensory journey through Nikkei cuisine - a vibrant marriage of Peruvian and Japanese flavours. From inventive ceviches and delicate Tiraditos, every dish is a study in precision and flair. Whether you’re lounging poolside over lunch or sipping cocktails under chandeliers once gracing New York’s Plaza Hotel, PACIFICO is a culinary destination in its own right.
