However, those looking for a more casual or budget-friendly option might find the premium experience here less suitable.

Why guests love itA group of four celebrating a fortieth birthday chose The First Musica because everything could happen in one place: sunset cocktails at the rooftop bar, then a long seafood dinner at the restaurant as the skyline went dark around them. The terrace drew a smart, sociable crowd on their Saturday night, livelier than most Roman hotel roofs. The concierge sorted restaurant bookings for the other evenings. It is firmly a splurge, and those wanting something casual will feel overdressed.
