A legend in the city of legends, in the heart of the capital, the five-star Hotel Excelsior Roma, displays the grand style of Italian hotels at the turn of the century. You'll find it overlooking Via Veneto, home of La Dolce Vita, just a stroll from the Spanish Steps and the verdant Villa Borghese. Inside, the hotel is meticulously restored to its original splendor, and furnished with the Oriental carpets, paintings and tapestries of the past. In this hotel, which expresses the very essence of Rome today, there's a truly regal suite, Villa La Cupola, that is sumptuously unique; two floors of pure elegance and refinement situated right beneath the 12-meter high cupola. We appreciate the Excelsior's modern conveniences as well, not to mention the new hotspot or the fine Doney restaurant on the Via Veneto. The hotel was recently named to Conde Nast Traveler's 2006 Gold List and to the Travel + Leisure magazine Top 500 hotels for 2006.
