a Quick Look at The Westin Excelsior Rome
The Westin Excelsior Rome, Lobby Area
The Westin Excelsior Rome, the sister property to The St. Regis Grand Rome, is located on the famous Vittorio Veneto just adjacent to the U.S. Embassy. The Westin Excelsior is the larger of the two properties, offering over 300 Guest Rooms in total. The Westin Excelsior originally opened its doors in 1906, hosting a long list of famous guests throughout its history.
Despite the Excelsior’s grandeur, it still maintains a rather intimate feel, with a modestly sized lobby and personalized staff. We really enjoyed the hotel’s location, as it was convenient, yet just far enough from the city center to provide a certain level of calm (a nice treat in a city with so much activity) Vittorio Veneto reminded us of the Champs Elysees in Paris, as it’s lined with an abundance of outdoor eateries and a wonderful place to take a stroll.
The Westin Excelsior offers numerous guest room types including standard accommodations, junior suites, Westin Workout Room and Large Suites. By European standards, even the smallest room types are quite large. Some rooms offer balconies overlooking Vittorio Veneto, a great feature for taking in the outdoors. All guest rooms are equipped with Westin’s Heavenly Beds and Showers, and some rooms offer separate walk-in showers and bathtubs. Color schemes vary per room type & floor, and range from reds, greens and golds.
Select Luxe Suites have been renovated in a new, more contemporary style (pictured below) while most other room types feature a more traditional Italian inspired theme with classical hints including chandeliers & rich fabrics.

Indoor Pool
This was just a quick look at all The Westin Excelsior has to offer. When making a decision between both The Westin & The St. Regis Rome, there are some differences, but both deliver a luxurious experience with a boutique like feel. “When in Rome” do as the Romans do and stay at the Excelsior, you’ll love it.
