Venito Suite 308

Located on the Via Veneto, Rome’s most celebrated street, only steps from the Borghese Gardens and a few city blocks from the Piazza de Spagna, the Westin Excelsior offers both vacation and business travelers a rich and rewarding hotel experience. From its gourmet Doney Restaurant, where one can enjoy fine dining in the evening or a sumptuous buffet al fresco at lunch, to the recreated 1920’s elegance of its premier lounge, and its antique furniture, plush carpets and Bohemian crystal chandeliers that decorate its rooms, the feeling here is one of opulence and good taste that one rarely finds in a busy city hotel.

When you call for reservation, you should ask for Veneto Suite, a two room suite with views of the city from both the bedroom and the living room--the latter, which is shown in the picture above, is a large, bright and beautifully furnished semicircular room with multiple windows and balconies that provide expansive views of the streets on which it faces--that feels more like being in home than a hotel room.
