About The Westin Excelsior Rome

The Westin Excelsior Rome is a belle-epoque hotel on Via Veneto, open since 1906, with six named salons for symbolic ceremonies and receptions and 316 rooms and suites.

The Westin Excelsior Rome has stood on Via Veneto since 1906, a belle-epoque palace of gilded columns, stuccoed ceilings and chandeliers. The street was the setting for Rome's dolce vita, and the hotel's facade is one of its best-known images. Today the hotel has 316 rooms and suites, a spa of 3,200 square feet with an indoor pool and hammam, and a position beside the Borghese Gardens, a short walk from the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and Piazza del Popolo.

Weddings are held in six named salons, from the intimate Sala Pincio to the grand Sala Boncompagni, alongside the Borghese, Campidoglio, Ludovisi and Trianon rooms. They take symbolic ceremonies for up to around 200 guests and receptions of up to around 300, with around 180 seated for dinner. Doney Restaurant serves Mediterranean menus tailored to each couple, and the ORVM Bar looks after cocktails. The legally binding civil marriage is arranged separately at the Rome comune. Rome Fiumicino airport is about 40 minutes away.

Wonderful Hotel in a Great Location

We spent a fantastic five nights at the Westin and can't wait to go back. Great location right by the Borghese Garden. We loved our balcony room which was very large and had a super comfy bed. The room was very quiet. The staff was welcoming and helpful. We especially enjoyed the Orum bar - the bartenders were inviting and warm with quick service and the music entertainment was fabulous. We enjoyed room service for one dinner and two breakfasts and the food was delicious, plentiful and quick. We also had great meals and drinks at the Doney restaurant and Cafe and sat outside at the lovely tables where we enjoyed superb food and service - and great people watching. The public spaces at the hotel are gorgeous and inviting. We loved the old school charm of the guest room decor which had high ceilings, striking curtains and a chandelier. This hotel is very special and you will enjoy your stay!

A perfect stay from start to finish, staff went above and beyond expectations.

We have stayed at the Westin Excelsior 15 times ,on every visit to Rome, and it is always an absolutely wonderful experience in everyway. The Westin is in a great location, with old world elegance and charm. The service is exceptional starting from the greeting of the doormen to welcoming reception staff,and continues through housekeeping, dining room, the cocktail lounge, and all the many amenities offered.
The rooms are immaculate, spacious, & well appointed. Sleeping is easy with quiet rooms, beautiful linens & comfortable beds. Their breakfast buffet is abundant and beautifully presented in a comforatble dining room or lovely outdoor area. The staff is outstanding for being highly professional and also very welcoming . They acknowledge and appreciate Marriott members for their loyality. We look forward to our stay at the Westin for the hotel itself, equal to our visit to beautiful Rome.
