Indulge in an extraordinary experience at Hotel Eden, an iconic gem based in the very heart of Rome. Dating back to 1889, this historic building was originally a set of elegant apartments before it was transformed into a luxurious retreat in 1902. Hotel Eden was Rome’s first hotel to boast a lift, electricity, heating, and running water upon opening.
Nestled beside the enchanting Villa Borghese gardens and just a leisurely stroll from the famed Spanish Steps and Rome’s vibrant city center, Hotel Eden offers a harmonious blend of classical elegance and contemporary luxury. Their commitment to providing a unique haven for guests has only strengthened since joining the Dorchester Collection in 2013.
Today, Hotel Eden continues to be a sophisticated and welcoming place to stay in Rome, offering breathtaking panoramic views, refined accommodations, and impeccable service. Whether you’re exploring historic treasures or trying out the local food scene, Hotel Eden invites you to savour the epitome of luxury and heritage after days spent exploring beautiful Rome.

Italy offers a mix of progress and challenges when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights. LGBTQ+ individuals benefit from anti-discrimination laws that protect against bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and same-sex couples have had access to civil unions since 2016. These unions provide many of the legal rights associated with marriage, such as inheritance and hospital visitation. However, same-sex marriage itself is not recognized, and joint adoption rights for same-sex couples remain unavailable, reflecting gaps in full equality.
In recent years, the political landscape has become more conservative, with policies that complicate family recognition for LGBTQ+ individuals. This includes restrictions on surrogacy, both domestically and abroad, which have disproportionately impacted same-sex couples looking to start families. Despite these setbacks, public opinion is gradually becoming more supportive of LGBTQ+ rights, driven by younger generations and urban communities.
Major cities like Rome, Milan, and Naples are home to vibrant LGBTQ+ scenes, with inclusive nightlife, annual Pride events, and a growing cultural acceptance. These urban hubs provide welcoming spaces for the LGBTQ+ community, offering opportunities for connection and celebration. However, attitudes in smaller towns and rural areas can still reflect the country’s traditional and religious roots.
Italy’s blend of progress and challenges makes it a unique case in Europe. While there is much to celebrate in terms of visibility and community support, continued advocacy is essential to achieve full equality. LGBTQ+ travelers can enjoy the country’s rich history, culture, and welcoming atmosphere in its major cities, where inclusivity shines the brightest.
