Aldrovandi Villa Borghese: Elegance and Tradition in the Heart of Rome

The refined and prestigious multi-starred hotel of Aldrovandi Villa Borghese stands in one of the finest and most exclusive areas of Rome, the Pinciano quarter, just a few steps away from a city centre that is famous and celebrated worldwide. Built in 1899, this aristocratic palazzo dating back to the reign of Umberto I used to house the Cabrini convent, an ancient religious order engaged in educating young women of the Italian nobility.

Today this complex is one of the most acclaimed hotels of the capital with its 92 double rooms, 15 suites and a royal suite, the hotel also offers two restaurants, two bars, nine conference rooms, a century-old park, an outdoor swimming pool and private parking facilities. Moreover, a courtesy car service is available to accompany guests through the charming park of Villa Borghese to the world-famous Spanish Steps in just a few minutes. With a charming view of the house gardens, the hotel’s highly-rated first restaurant has been entrusted to the celebrity chef, Oliver Glowig, a German citizen who has adopted Capri as his residence, and who was awarded two Michelin stars in 2011, at just eight months from taking over.

Selected over twenty years ago by the important luxury hospitality organisation, “The Leading Hotels of the World”, the Aldrovandi Villa Borghese is the very essence of excellence, interpreted in its exquisite capacity to satisfy the needs and expectations of every welcome guest. Down through the years, the intimate hotel suites and lounges have offered hospitality to members of the European royal families, politicians, diplomats and celebrities of the international jet set, and have witnessed economic and political agreements, as well as important cultural events.
