Hotel Eden

The Eden has been perched on the Via Ludovisi since 1889, and its rooftop restaurant — Il Giardino — offers what many consider the finest dining view in Rome: a panorama stretching from the Vatican to the Colosseum. The hotel is smaller and more intimate than Rome's grand palazzos, which suits guests who prefer discretion over spectacle. Fellini was a regular. The Dorchester Collection renovation in 2017 brought the interiors up to the standard the view always deserved. 98 rooms and a location that puts the Via Veneto, the Borghese Gardens, and the Spanish Steps all within walking distance.
