Luxury Hotels in Rome Around the Via Veneto
Rome is a particularly wonderful European city to visit, especially if you do it in style. The city has hundreds of hotels to choose from and some of the best luxury hotels in Rome are on the exclusive Via Veneto. Most of the tourist attractions are within easy strolling distance from these luxury hotels.
Via Veneto is the place to stay, especially if you are planning a romantic weekend or a special treat for someone. It is correctly named the Via Vittorio Veneto after the 1918 battle which marked the end of the war on the Italian Front, so it appropriately has great historic significance. The street is now lined with some of the finest luxury hotels in Rome with upmarket cafes and shops at street level. Look for the famous Harry’s Bar and the Cafe de Paris, both immortalized in the popular 1960 movie “La Dolce Vita”.
Regina Hotel Baglioni
This lovely Art Deco style hotel oozes decadence with warm antique furnishings and impressive artwork. The sumptuous suites here include iPod docking stations and private outdoor Jacuzzis, making this one of the most unique luxury hotels in Rome.
Hotel Eden
This stylish hotel is in a 19th century Italian Palazzo with rich fabrics and fine furnishings in keeping with the gracious charm and elegance of the lovely architecture. Gourmet diners will be swayed by the fact that the Hotel Eden has a Michelin-starred rooftop restaurant with views of the Seven Hills of Rome. Hemingway, Ingrid Bergman and Fellini have all stayed here, making this one of the most exclusive luxury hotels in Rome for a memorable visit.
Westin Excelsior Rome
The Westin lists itself as the Via Vento’s premier hotel and the Conde Nast Traveller Gold List seems to agree! This is definitely one of the most beautifully decorated luxury hotels in Rome with glittering chandeliers, golden antiques gleaming in the foyer and extravagant furnishings throughout. The Villa Cupola suite is the largest hotel suite in Europe, and the lesser rooms all have swagged beds, velvet furnishings, chandeliers and magnificent Italian pink marble bathrooms.
Rose Garden Palace
Located on the corner of the Via Veneto and the Via Boncompagni, the Rose Garden Palace sets a very different tone to other luxury hotels in Rome. It is a modern, contemporary hotel with simple furnishings in the 65 rooms and suites but still offers the luxurious touches of Italian marble bathrooms and a welcome plunge pool. Enjoy breakfast in the lovely courtyard Rose Garden – the perfect start to each day.
