Italy is known for its history-encrusted palazzo hotels and rustic Tuscan farmhouses. Still, some hoteliers are daring to nudge the boundaries of tradition, crafting a new crop of hotels that are playfully cool, sparsely modern or acutely on-trend. Yet however unconventional, these hotels are not out of place in the timeless landscapes and ancient cities they inhabit.

For an unconventional, anachronistic Roman holiday, G-Rough is an achingly stylish boutique property where each of the ten rooms are named after twentieth-century Italian designers. Not only is the "rough luxury" of the Giorgia Cerulli-curated setting a departure from Rome's grand dame hotels, but the guest experiences-like the "designer for a day" program where you can craft your own handbag from scratch- are also delightfully one-off and unexpected.
