Ambasciatori Palace Hotel Roma: immersi
nella "Dolce Vita" |
Known as “The Ambassadors’ Palace” (Palazzo degli Ambasciatori)
at the beginning of the XXth century because it was built to
host diplomats of the nearby Embassies, the Ambasciatori Palace
Hotel in Rome is a historical building overlooking via Veneto,
one of the most renowned avenues in the world. Via Veneto
crosses an ancient estate, transformed after it was bought and
remodeled by cardinal Prince Ludovico Ludovisi in the early
XVIIth century into one of Rome’s most splendid and luxurious
areas. Now one hundred years old ( more precisely, since 2005),
the hotel was built between 1900 and 1905 on plans drawn by the
well-known architect Carlo Busiri Vici. Between 1993 and 2001 it
has undergone various careful restorations which have modernized
the hotel, highlighting at the same time its period décor. The
polychrome stucco-work of mouldings, ceilings, arches and
capitals may now be seen in its original splendour, as well as
the Brazilian granite columns, the marble and mosaic flooring,
and the intricate wrought- iron railings of the grand staircase.
When you step out of the Ambasciatori into via Veneto another
experience awaits you: this pulsating avenue, and its
atmosphere, has inspired the famous Fellini film, La dolce vita,
and is still nowadays very lively and enjoyable. Actors and
writers, but also young people, couples and family groups are
attracted to the avenue night and day, as it has something for
everybody’s taste : elegants shops and boutiques, de luxe hotels,
restaurants, music at the Hard Rock Cafè, or comfortable
open-air sidewalk Cafés for coffee or a bite to eat. |
