| The historic Ambasciatori Palace, so-named in the early 1900's because of its selected clientèle of diplomats and businessmen, has always been the hotel of choice in Rome for a vast number of personalities from the world of culture, politics and finance. Celebrities who have stayed recently include Liza Minelli, Sean Connery, Sofia Loren, Arnold Schwarznegger, Luis Borges. The exclusive hotel, which stands about halfway along via Veneto in the centre of Rome, was designed by the architect Carlo Busiri Vici between 1900 and 1903 and was one of the first buildings to go up in the area, originally surrounded by vineyards, vegetable plots and gardens. To highlight the hotel's rural location its structure incorporates some of the architectural features typical of large prestigious country houses. |
