Built in 1894 as the first deluxe hotel in Rome, the St. Regis Grand Hotel, Rome is within walking distance of the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and Via Veneto. After extensive renovations, the hotel reclaimed its status as the finest hotel in Rome and one of the best in the world. This honor has been re-emphasized by its recent naming on Condé Nast Traveler's 2005 Gold List. As a focal point of Rome's diplomatic and political life, the hotel hosts many national and international dignitaries, heads of state, business executives, and widely known celebrities. Enjoy a unique dining experience at the restaurant Vivendo, the number one restaurant in Rome nominated by Zagat Guides, and the Gold Key award winner for design and décor. The private wine cellar, Di Vino, selected to be "depositaire de l' enotheque Dom Perignon," invites you to private dining with regional and international menus enhanced by a wide selection of wines to complement each course. An English-style butler is available, on dedicated floors, to attend to guests' requests 24-hours a day.
