Set in a restored 17th-century palazzo on leafy Piazza Carlina (Piazza Carlo Emanuele II), this upscale hotel wraps around a glass-roofed internal courtyard that was once part of a historic hospice. Rooms are contemporary and calm, and there is a rooftop terrace with views across the rooftops. The square sits between the centre and the San Salvario district, so restaurants, bars and the Egyptian Museum are all within a short walk.
