Rome's Historic Hotel d'Inghilterra Reopens After Major Restoration
On September 27, the Hotel d'Inghilterra Roma, located close to Piazza di Spagna and Via Condotti, welcomed guests once more after a renovation spearheaded by the design teams of Starhotels Group, under the guidance of CEO Elisabetta Fabri. This restoration followed an earlier phase that concluded in May 2023, which focused on revitalizing the historic facade and reducing the number of rooms to 80 for more spacious interiors. The decor harmoniously combines historic elements with modern artisan designs. Additionally, the Ristorante Cafè Romano has been transformed into a Roman salon. Plans are underway for a SPA suite and a rooftop bar set to debut in late spring. The hotel, established in the mid-17th century, was acquired by Duke Mariano Torlonia in 1837 and has hosted notable figures like Oscar Wilde and Elizabeth Taylor.
