The other day, a HotelChatter Twitter follower asked us for some upscale hotel recommendations in Venice and Rome. More specifically, Jcjteeth wants hotels of the same caliber as Four Seasons:

@HotelChatter Any recs on 5Star/upscale hotels in Venice and Rome? Usually stay at @FourSeasons but alas no FS properties in those cities.

That's pretty weird now that we think about it. No Four Seasons in Rome or Venice? They should really get on that!

But onto our hotel picks.

But here's the rub--the tax must be settled at check-out and

The Andy, inspired by Andy Warhol's Dollar Sign.

We'd barely finished deciding which of the Argentine art-inspired cocktails we wanted from the El Casco Art Hotel (should we find ourselves in Bariloche), when along comes yet another art cocktail collection, this time at the Rome Cavalieri.

Hey, who are we to argue with the greats of the art world. Let's see what they want us to drink over in Rome ...

So were feeling pretty sad right now about the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+D%27Inghilterra/ian/127046">Hotel dInghilterra</a> in Rome. We stayed in the Inghilterra a couple of years back and loved it a tiny, quiet little hotel, tucked away down a side street off Via Condotti.

In fact, were we not so fond of it, we might be a little put off. Most of the cheap hotels are clustered round Termini station and the area is, not to put too fine a point on it, scuzztown. If you want somewhere more salubrious, you have to pay through the nose. The latest addition to the Rome hotel scene is the 162-roomed <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Moevenpick+Hotel+Central+Park+Roma/ian/172494">Courtyard by Marriott</a> west of the Vatican, which used to be the Hotel Central Park.
