At a glance
Poised above the Spanish Steps and part of the legendary Dorchester Collection, Hotel Eden is Rome at its most magnificent.
Few hotels earn the word iconic so completely. Hotel Eden has been welcoming the world’s most discerning travelers to Rome since 1889, and today it stands as one of the Italian capital’s greatest addresses. The 98 rooms and suites are uncompromisingly elegant, blending Roman warmth with contemporary refinement, with many offering sweeping panoramic views across the city’s golden rooftops.
Dining here is an event in itself. Michelin-starred chef Salvatore Bianco leads the kitchen at La Terrazza, where exceptional cuisine meets one of the most breathtaking dining views in Europe. The rooftop Il Giardino Ristorante and the atmospheric La Libreria bar round out a food and drinks offering that rivals anywhere in the city.
What sets Hotel Eden apart, beyond the grandeur, is the warmth. The service is famously gracious, the atmosphere is genuinely Italian, and every detail speaks to a hotel that understands exactly what luxury should feel like.
Highlights
- 43 rooms and suites furnished with refined antiques, most with sea views.
- Private infinity pools and hydro-pools available in select suites and terrace categories.
- The Infinito Suite spans two floors with a private infinity pool and panoramic terrace.

Italy
Italy is a long, narrow country running from the Alps in the north to Sicily and the Mediterranean in the south. The geography changes faster than the language. Alpine lakes (Como, Garda, Maggiore) in the north. Industrial cities, fashion and finance in Milan and Turin. The Renaissance cities of the central plain (Florence, Bologna, Siena). The capital and ancient sites in Rome. The southern coastlines of the Amalfi, Puglia and Calabria.
Our Experts
Italy is one of the best places in Europe to experience culture, food and beautiful scenery. With so much character and colour, the Amalfi Coast is a personal favourite of mine.
I never get tired of planning luxury vacations in Italy. There are so many magical cities and experiences to be enjoyed. Beaches, mountains and rolling countryside, there really is something for everyone.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

Luxury Gay Matera & Puglia Tour: Caves, Masserie & Coast
Tailor-made VacationThere are few places in Europe quite like Matera. Carved into a limestone ravine, its ancient Sassi are a maze of cave dwellings, rock-cut churches, hidden courtyards and steep lanes that seem to fold into one another.

Rome’s Gay Legacy: A Luxury LGBTQ+ Tour Through the Roman Empire
Tailor-made VacationThe Roman Empire's relationship with sexuality was fundamentally different from the morality imposed by later Christianity. Same-sex relationships existed openly among the elite, were documented in historical records, and shaped the empire's political and cultural landscape. What's often sanitized in standard history books becomes viscerally real when you stand in the actual spaces where these emperors lived, ruled, and loved. This isn't revisionist history.
