On Via Veneto, The Westin Excelsior, Rome carries a grand Roman hotel identity close to Villa Borghese, the Spanish Steps and the city's historic centre. Rooms and suites keep an ornate sense of place, with high ceilings, classical detailing, rich fabrics and views over the surrounding streets. Restaurant Doney, Cafe Doney, the indoor pool, fitness centre and event rooms preserve the building's social and ceremonial role. The hotel's scale and architecture keep it closely tied to Rome's early 20th-century glamour and the theatre of Via Veneto.
