In the heart of the historic center, just steps away from Via Veneto, the street where Italy's Dolce Vita began, Rome's Splendide Royal more than lives up to its name. Occupying a finely restored patrician town house, dating back to the 19th century, today's 5 star luxury hotel conserves all of the building's original aristocratic opulence, offering a magnificent display of antique golden boiseries, rich brocade, highly polished marble, and ornate stucco work.The Splendide Royal's baroque-inspired bedrooms and suites risk being even more sumptuous than the hotel's public rooms; embellished with luxurious damask drapes, plush crimson carpets, period furniture and antique mirrors and artworks housed within impressive gilded frames. Almost all rooms have large marble bathrooms with a natural source of light. From the terraces of Splendide Royal's suites, breathtaking views of the gardens of Villa Borghese can be seen. Dine in the hotel's sumptuous "Mirabelle" restaurant and you'll enjoy both Michelin-starred cuisine and quite spectacular views of the Italian capital. Equally panoramic, the 6th floor Terrazza Limonaia offers the perfect setting for cocktails and gala dinners.
