An Eternal City Legend

The Cradle of La Dolce Vita on Celebrated Via Veneto

A legend in a city of legends, The Westin Excelsior, Rome commands the most celebrated address on Via Veneto, just moments from the Spanish Steps, Piazza Barberini, and the sprawling greenery of Villa Borghese. Opened in 1906 by Switzerland's Actien-Gesellschaft, the "magnificent white palace on Via Veneto" quickly captured the imagination of royalty, statesmen, and Hollywood royalty, serving as the sparkling epicenter of Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita.

Behind its grand neoclassical exterior lie 281 opulent guestrooms and 35 grand suites decorated in authentic Empire and Biedermeier styles, richly outfitted with silk damask tapestries, bohemian crystal chandeliers, white Carrara marble bathrooms, and signature Westin Heavenly Beds. Perched atop the hotel is the legendary Villa La Cupola Suite—one of Europe's largest private suites—spanning two palatial levels with a frescoed dome, private Pompeian whirlpool, screening room, and panoramic terraces overlooking the Eternal City.

Culinary life thrives at Restaurant Doney, where guests relish authentic Roman and Mediterranean delicacies while observing the glamorous pedestrian promenade of Via Veneto. Unwind at the lively ORVM Bar & Piano Lounge with artisanal Italian aperitivi, or retreat to the subterranean Kami Spa, offering an indoor heated Roman swimming pool, soothing hammam, and bespoke holistic treatments for total wellness.
