In the heart of the city, close to Via Veneto, the Spanish Steps and the Borghese Gardens – the Hotel Eden has been a Kirker favourite for 30 years, and is arguably Rome’s greatest, traditional hotel.

The property is sumptuously furnished throughout with many antiques and has 99 beautifully decorated bedrooms. The 6th floor ‘Terrazza’ restaurant (one Michelin star – advance reservations essential) and piano bar with its summer terrace have spectacular views of Rome. A sumptuous breakfast is served and is the perfect way to start your day in the Eternal City. Now owned by the Dorchester Collection, The Eden is undergoing a complete renovation, including the introduction of a brand new spa and is set to reopen on 1 April 2017.
