Hotel Information: Fully renovated in 2002, this regal 1906 building stands on fashionable Via Veneto. The spacious lobby leads to a vast lounge, with marble floors, stucco ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and early 19th-century Empire-style furniture of gilded wood, upholstered with red-and-cream fabrics. Guests include the rich and famous; corporate and government leaders, and well-traveled couples.

Amenity highlights: The Westin Excelsior offers a desirable location less than a 10-minute walk from upscale shopping, sidewalk cafés, and attractions such as the Spanish Steps and Villa Borghese. The health club features a Roman-style indoor pool, plus spa tub, sauna, steam room, massage services, aromatherapy, and beauty treatments. The hotel’s Restaurant Doney overlooks Via Veneto, while the h club>doney has an outdoor terrace, perfect for people-watching. Wireless Internet access is available in all rooms and public areas (surcharge).

Insider tip: In the 1960s, Via Veneto was immortalized in the films of Italian director Federico Fellini, and today the Excelsior still epitomizes the glamour of La Dolce Vita (“the sweet life”).
