Empire Regency
The St Regis Grand is a well-located hotel in Rome conveniently close to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Via Veneto and the Piazza Repubblica district.
St Regis Hotels are well-known for their high standards and dedication to the art of graceful living. The St Regis Grand Hotel in Rome is no exception. After undergoing a $35million restoration, this luxury hotel now offers lavish accommodation within its 138 rooms and 23 suites, complete with 24-hour butler service. The opulent interior and sterling personal service have led to the hotel being listed on Conde Nast Travellers’ 2008 Gold List of luxury hotels.
Enter the doors of this grand Roman Palazzo and the sheer opulence and grandeur of the lobby sets the tone for the rest of the hotel. Breathtaking Murano chandeliers illuminate the frescoed ceilings and golden cherubs in the Grand Hall. Huge columns add an element of Roman splendour and velvet-covered chairs cluster around the marble fireplaces. Gilt moldings and marble tiled flooring complete the extravagant décor.
The Royal Suite has a full range of rooms furnished and decorated to grace any eminent Head of State, complete with private entrance and elevator. For lesser mortals, guest rooms are individually designed and make full use of the rich fabrics and antiques of the Louis XVI and Regency eras. Comfortable beds sit beneath rich tapestry wall-hangings and heavy draped canopies. Velvet cushions and antique urns add to the lavish décor. Bathrooms are a divine experience of marble with separate shower and bathtub, complete with bathrobes and luxury toiletries.
The Zagat nominated Vivendo Restaurant for ‘Best in Europe’ has a menu to please any gastronome. Modern Mediterranean cuisine is prepared by Chef Francesco Donatelli whilst the sommelier serves wine from one of the finest wine cellars in Rome. The Grand bar is furnished in elegant Belle Époque style and is the place to begin the evening, sipping a Bellini. Named best bar in Rome by Newsweek magazine, it is the spot for Italians to see and be seen.
Shed the guilt, and a few pasta pounds in the smart new Caroli Health Club which offers personal training, saunas and a Pilate’s studio. For travelers looking for a luxury hotel in Rome, the St Regis Grand has to be the hotel of choice for a totally decadent, pampered experience.
