The name of this hotel, one of the most famous and luxurious in Rome, is simply translated: "Eden". As is known, abundance reigned in the Biblical Garden of Eden, but nothing was in excess. Located in the center of the Italian capital, the Eden Hotel is striking in luxury without pomp. From the balconies of the hotel offers a stunning panorama of the Eternal City The hotel was built in 1889 and for many years was a symbol of neoclassical architecture. Its founder, Francesco Nestlvik, sought to make Eden the star of Roman hotels, attractive to world celebrities. For this, he filled the spectacular building with all the technological advances available at the end of the last century: he installed an elevator, conducted electricity, central heating and water. Quite quickly, the hotel became so popular among foreigners, including crowned heads, that the building had to be finished. And in the end, Eden was crowned by a luxurious terrace, where the legendary La Terrazza restaurant is located. His chef, Enrico Derflinger, before moving to Rome, was a personal chef of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Glorified the restaurant is not only the kitchen, but also famous visitors. For example, Federico Fellini loved La Terrazza so much that he appointed interviews to journalists only there. In the mid-twentieth century, crowned heads began to look less often in Eden, but their place was taken by artistic bohemians. Ernst Hemingway, Maria Callas, Ingrid Bergman stayed at the hotel. Almost all European and Hollywood stars of the first magnitude spent time here, in particular, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, Pierce Brosnan and Uma Thurman, Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, Robin Williams, Anthony Hopkins ...
