Rome, Italy

The Westin Excelsior Rome

An Insider's Take
'This palatial Belle Époque masterpiece on Via Veneto has been Rome's most prestigious address since 1906, hosting everyone from royalty to Hollywood legends during the golden age of Italian cinema.' What's Special? The Westin Excelsior sits on the legendary Via Veneto, the very street immortalized in Fellini's "La Dolce Vita." The hotel's opulent domed Villa La Cupola suite spans an entire floor and features a private terrace with 360-degree views of the Eternal City. Originally built as a palace, many rooms retain original frescoed ceilings and period details from over a century ago.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the Doney Restaurant's outdoor terrace for aperitivo hour – it's the same spot where Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck would have sipped cocktails during Rome's 1960s heyday, and you'll feel like you're living in your own Italian film.
Don't Miss A morning stroll through Villa Borghese park (2 minutes away) followed by the underground Capuchin Crypt nearby – one of Rome's most fascinating hidden gems. The hotel's prime location puts you within walking distance of the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and the exclusive boutiques of Via del Corso.
