In the smartest and most beautiful part of Rome, on Via Veneto, one of the world's most famous streets, overlooking the beautiful and ancient Villa Borghese park, stands an elegant period building. Behind its pink pastel façade lie centuries of history: the history of a street, of a city quarter, of a city itself. When the lavish days of "la dolce vita" were over, the Grand Hotel Flora was again restored in the 1980s by the architect Lorenzo Bellini for the new Neapolitan owner, Salvatore Naldi, and it again shone bright in the array of the Capital's most exclusive hotels.
Of the 127 rooms and 24 suites at the Marriott Grand Hotel Flora, no two are alike. They are all tastefully furnished with superb antique tables, china, and bronzes, paintings and prints, and embellished with rare and precious silk, brocade and velvet to create a warm and cosy atmosphere. Every room is like a private home: the epitome of comfort and elegance.
The refined atmosphere, excellent service and a superb menu make this the ideal setting for ceremonies, special lunches and dinners, cocktails, and so on. The open air terrace enjoys a breathtaking view across the capital's historic centre and the lush park of Villa Borghese and in summer, beneath a canopy of stars and in the light of torches and candles, it becomes a place of sheer magic.
