Location
Our hotel building was constructed around 1887 as a series of elegant residential apartments. When hotelier Francesco Nistelweck set eyes on the building, he was immediately inspired to transform it into a luxury hotel. Generations of Nistelweck’s family owned and ran the hotel for almost one hundred years.
When we opened in 1889, we were the first hotel in Rome to feature a lift, electricity, heating and running water. We became a success and a favourite with guests touring Europe. Murray’s Handbook Advertiser describes as “The best hotel in Rome, with commanding views of the city and surrounding countryside.”
An extra floor was added in 1902. This was the year in which the last of the privately owned apartments were bought and the whole building officially became Hotel Eden. A major renovation was completed in 1920 where private bathrooms added to most of our rooms and private telephones were installed in each room.
Our bar was moved to the rooftop in the 1960s, to make the most of the magnificent views over the city. Originally this area was used to dry our laundry. It was during the 1970s that we built and opened our restaurant on the top floor, so more guests could enjoy the view. It's been a popular place to dine ever since.
In September 2013, Hotel Eden became Dorchester Collection’s first hotel in Rome. In April 2017, following a complete restoration, we reopened to start a new chapter in our illustrious history.
