A legend in a city of legends, Rome’s Westin Excelsior recently received a multimillion-dollar renovation that restored its Belle Epoque splendor. The magnificent white palace opened in 1906 on the Via Veneto—cradle of la dolce vita immortalized by Rome’s beloved filmmaker, Federico Fellini. Renowned as one of the world’s great classic hotels, The Westin Excelsior hosts international celebrities today as it has for nearly 100 years.
The hotel glitters again—from its opulent facade and public areas to the largest suite in Italy, the 11,700-square-foot Villa La Cupola. New carpeting, fabrics, and lighting set off the custom furniture, original artwork, and restored antiques to full advantage in all 319 rooms and suites. And all now feature the latest technological advances, exquisite marble bathrooms, and Westin’s famous Heavenly Beds.
