This exquisite property is centrally located next to the Borghese Gardens and in the same neighborhood as several embassies. The hotel was designed and built in 1956 by the same architect that designed the Principe di Savoia in Milan, and he understood not only luxury (an often overused word today) but sumptuous details such as elaborate wood paneling used generously throughout the hotel that one does not see in more contemporary hotels, large rooms and spacious suites with views of the Eternal City from the upper floors.

This really is an oasis in the heart of Rome with its huge swimming pool where both freshly grilled items as well as sushi are available during the summer months, a restaurant that actually accommodates those who seek a "light lunch" (!), plus all the normal attributes of a luxury hotel - concierge, private cars and drivers, 24-hour room service, spacious and elegant public areas, manicured gardens and a very attentive staff. In fact, it really does not feel like a large hotel, probably because the staff treats guests as though they were in a private home.

In addition, the hotel's premier 20,000 square foot Prince Spa features a 4500 sq. ft gymnasium, all manner of treatment rooms for men and women, the largest indoor pool (250 ft.) imaginable, beauty salon, sauna, steam bath, jacuzzi, emotional showers (lights change color) and a never ending choice of treatments for both health and beauty, tea room, snack bar, and Prince spa shop.
