Hollywood’s home in Rome is the Hotel Eden. Since its
reopening in 1994 everyone from Tom Cruise to Gwynth Paltrow
has stayed at this glamorous Grande Dame. Situated a short walk
from the top of the Spanish Steps, the hotel exudes old-fashioned
charm and elegance while keeping apace with contemporary luxuries.
The Empire style rooms come in a variety of sizes with luxurious
marble bathrooms complete with fluffy bathrobes, slippers and
Hermes bath products. Rooms on the fourth and fifth floors are
preferable due to the spectacular views, also shared by the award-winning
restaurant - you’ll be hard pushed to find somewhere better
to sip your morning cappuccino, the magnificent dome of St Peters
looming in the distance.
Although it is a big hotel the Eden achieves something important,
an intimate atmosphere. The fire in the lobby, which resembles
an English drawing room, is always lit in the winter months and
the thoughtful staff and know-it-all concierges display typical
Italian charm.
