Hotel Eden

The Hotel Eden, located in the heart of Rome and just minutes away from the Spanish Steps, Via Veneto, and Via Condotii, has “magnificent city views,” says Francesca Leoni.  Like most of the Eternal City’s attractions, this hotel has a long history. Built in 1889, it’s housed real-life kings, queens, princes, princesses, and a Grand Duchess, all of whose signatures remain in the hotel’s “Golden Book” records. Today, Hotel Eden is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World and its restaurant, La Terrazza dell’Eden, was voted one of the Top 10 Hotel Restaurants worldwide. The restaurant’s wall-to-wall windows allow you to watch the sun set over Rome while you eat and make the pricey admission worth every Euro. Upon entering and exiting the hotel, a white-gloved doorman with a full suit and top hat will wish you “buongiorno.”
