Italy’s capital truly lives up to it’s billing as the
Eternal City. It’s two and a half thousand year history
makes it a unique destination for tourists visiting
it’s stunning ancient and medieval sites of interest.
This rich heritage is complimented by the Vatican
City, the spiritual seat of the Catholic faith,
with it’s awe inspiring St. Peter’s Cathedral and
fascinating Vatican Museum. There are
few places in the world that offer such a variety of Christian
and pagan remains, sites and artifacts.
Via Veneto, one of Rome’s most exclusive avenues,
has grown up around what is now one of Rome’s most exclusive
five star hotels, the Ambasciatori Palace Hotel Rome.
The hotel pays tribute to its aristocratic heritage,
by maintaining standards fit to cater for princes and businessmen
alike.
Originally constructed in 1903, it became known as the
Ambassadors’ Palace due to its clientele of diplomats and
important businessmen. Designed by Carlo Busiri Vici,
the building mimics the architectural features of the great
country houses of the day, inspired by the rural
nature of the area at the time. The luxuriant building
was then to set the standard for all future constructions
built in the vicinity over the years that followed.
In 1933, the interior undertook a complete transformation,
and many of its original and particular elements were restored
to their former beauty, allowing our guests to enjoy their
stay in a luxuriant and historically rich setting. The
hotel’s interior combines columns of Brazilian granite
with the finest marble flooring, and it’s ceiling panels,
capitals, cornices and arches exude classical beauty in
an atmosphere befitting the exceptional surroundings
this great city offers. The Hotel’s rooms and
suites are all decorated in an aristocratic manner, with
period furnishings and luxury interior design.
Combining
class and architectural beauty, Via Veneto was to see many
other equally prestigious palazzi appear around it after
its construction. These impressive structures now host embassies, government
offices, hotels, restaurants and bars making
the location not only exclusive but also fun!
