Why we recommend it
Hotel Eden first opened in 1889 in the elegant Ludovisi quarter, an area of late 19th-century palazzi between Via Veneto and the Spanish Steps, and today it belongs to Dorchester Collection. It is a five-star hotel with a reputation for discreet, polished service, and its position on a quiet street means it feels calmer than many hotels in the centre while remaining about five minutes' walk from both the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain.
The hotel offers 18 categories of rooms and suites, from Classic Rooms to the Bellavista Penthouse Suite, and the upper floors have views over the rooftops and domes of the city towards St Peter's. Interiors are contemporary and elegant, and the hotel's restaurants and bars are reasons to visit in their own right.
La Terrazza is the hotel's fine dining restaurant, inspired by Rome's culinary heritage and led by Michelin-starred executive chef Salvatore Bianco. Il Giardino Ristorante, on the rooftop, serves a modern take on classic Italian cooking with panoramic views, alongside the Il Giardino Bar for cocktails, while La Libreria is a lounge bar in the lobby. There is also a spa with a private spa suite and a 24-hour fitness room.
Small dogs are welcome, up to two per room under 7 kg, for a daily fee. The hotel has no on-site parking, but valet parking at a nearby private garage can be arranged for a daily charge, subject to availability. The hotel suits couples, luxury travellers and those who want fine dining on the doorstep. Prices are at the top of the Roman scale, and rooms with views command a premium. Reservations can be made through the Dorchester Collection website or by phone on +39 06 8938 6470.
The hotel is at Via Ludovisi 49. Barberini station on Metro Line A is about ten minutes' walk away, and the top of the Spanish Steps is closer still. Villa Borghese, with Galleria Borghese, is reached through Porta Pinciana at the top of Via Veneto, and the Capuchin Crypt and Piazza Barberini, with Bernini's Triton Fountain, are a short walk downhill. Booking a table at the rooftop restaurant or bar is a way to enjoy the view even if you are staying elsewhere.
