Hotel Eden, Dorchester Collection
FODOR’S EXPERT REVIEW
At what was once a favorite haunt of Ingrid Bergman, Ginger Rogers, and Fellini, dashing elegance, exquisite decor, and stunning vistas of Rome combine with true Italian hospitality. The hotel is a bit out of the centro storico (historic center) for serious sightseers, but it's also a quick walk from the top of the Spanish Steps and feels like an oasis of calm thanks to its location atop the Villa Borghese. Rooms have elegant design features and thoughtful amenities: soaring ceilings, enormous Bang and Olufsen HD televisions, a complimentary tablet for in-room use, fine linens, and gleaming marble bathrooms. Topping it all off is one of Rome's most fabled fine dining restaurants: La Terrazza, where gourmet tasting menus come with truly romantic vistas. The more casual Ristorante Il Giardino and Il Giardino Bar (also on the rooftop), plus La Libreria lobby lounge round out the offerings.
