Location:
The Grand Hotel Rome, nowadays called the St. Regis Grand Rome, is probably
the finest hotel in Rome, located at the heart of what Rome has to offer.
If you happen to arrive in style, for example, by night train from Paris
and have enough luggage to employ a porter at Roma Termini, the central
railway station, the taxi drives will nod at each others and say: Grand
Hotel. The location is in the heart of the city of Rome within walking
distance from the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountains, Via Veneto and the
famous shopping street Via Condotti. To Fiumiciono Airport it will take
you 45 minutes and to Ciampiono Airport 30 minutes.
History:
The Grand Hotel in Rome is celebrating its 110th anniversary in 2004, as
it originally opened in 1894. The Grand Hotel was masterminded by Cesar
Ritz, the “hotelier of the kings and the king of hoteliers." At the time
of opening, amenities such as electric lights, private bath rooms, radiators
and elevators were far from standard at the time. The Grand Hotel also
had the Ritz ball room, one of the first ones in Rome. The Grand Hotel
soon became accepted by the Romani per Bene, the upper-class of Rome and
a place to entertain oneself and others. After lavish renovation by the
St. Regis hotel group, costing about 40 million dollars, the Grand Hotel
Rome opened its doors in December 1999 as the St. Regis Grand Hotel Rome
after nine months of compete restoration. The renovation goal has been
to restore its former glory combining Italian and French styles of furnishing
and decoration to create a carefully restored Italian palazzo.
