Book the Hotel Eden Rome with VIP Benefits

The word Eden inspires thoughts of an idyllic place where life and all worldly needs are taken care of without effort. The Eden Rome has become a byword for an idyllic hotel where every need is cared for by impeccably caring staff.

Now part of the Dorchester collection of global luxury accommodations, Hotel Eden has been restored and updated to its former matchless status in recent years.

History

Hotel Eden Rome is in Rome's affluent Ludovisi area, named after a wealthy Roman family of the same name. This family owned the land for centuries until they sold it for redevelopment. Later, in 1887 the hotel building was constructed, originally as residential property.

The Nistelweck family purchased the building, refurbished it, and opened it to guests as a luxury hotel in 1889. Afterward, it became instantly popular, especially with English visitors. It underwent many changes and upscaled until finally becoming part of the Dorchester Collection in 2013.

Location

The hotel benefits from a central position in the Eternal City. It sits conveniently for visitors between the exclusive Via Veneto and the lush Villa Borghese Gardens.

Famous sites such as the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and the Pantheon are nearby. Moreover, high-end shopping, Tony boutiques, and classy restaurants are around the hotel, the Piazza di Spagna and Campo Marzio.

A taxi or the Metro will take guests to the Colosseum, St Peter's Square, and the Vatican museums in under half an hour. Rome's two international airports, Fiumicino/da Vinci and Ciampino, are about a 30-minute drive.

Reception and Hospitality

Liveried staff meets guests warmly at the entrance to the hotel. Moreover, reception and concierge staff are equally welcoming and renowned for impeccable standards of guest care. Eden is top-notch, still warm, efficient, and child and pet-friendly.

Style and Décor

Guests enter through high and elegant glass double doors into the refined splendor of the hotel décor, reimagined by architect-designers Moinard and Betaille.

Style themes include many shining white marble and gilt touches with watercolor paintings. Besides, mosaic-patterned carpeting reflects Roman life. Fresh flowers also add color and beauty to all the rooms.

New art comes via the 'artist in residence,' Andrea Ferolla, who visits twice monthly. She captures the life of the hotel in unique illustrations. Excellent facilities are also available for private dining, business meetings, or weddings.

The Rooms. Classic and Prestige

The 98 rooms and suites of the Eden Hotel Rome give a sense of light and freshness. All feature high ceilings and natural light from large elegantly draped windows. Besides, glass, marble, fresh flowers, and warm, gentle colors with the pristine white bed linen.
