| A legend in a city of legends, moments from Piazza di Spagna and the Villa Borghese gardens, The Westin Excelsior , the ´magnificent white palace on the via Veneto´, is one of the world´s great classic hotels. In the grand lounges and throughout the hotel, the exceptional decorative qualities of early nineteenth-century Empire styling are expressed in period antiques and architectural details. Inaugurated in January 1906, The Westin Excelsior has always been a synonym for refinement, luxury and comfort. Unique and unforgettable, the hotel is located on the most sparkling street of the capital, the famous Via Veneto, one of the most celebrated meeting place of Europe: it establishes a link between a sparkling past and a dynamic present, facing the street that was the cradle of the shining ´Dolce Vita´ and, thanks to the captivating style of Fellini, reached the collective imagination and became immortal. |
