Magnificent Roman Experience at the Excelsior
Pros:

I didnt have the breakfast included, we chose not to, and it was good since we had early morning tours. On the first night we also dined in the hotel and the food was marvelous. The hotel was a little empty, but it was January, after the Jubilee and Harry's bar on the corner was closed until January 19th, so I am sure the activity picked up after we left.

Cons:

There was nothing I didnt like. The staff were marvelous and the room was beautiful.

The Grande Dame of Rome hotels.
Pros:

Beautiful, old world hotel on the Via Veneto, centrally located. In the 1960s and 70s, this is where the so-called jet set stayed. Our room was huge, very clean, nicely furnished. One complaint: we were on an upper floor (5th?) and the air conditioning wasn't working well. Room was warm and stuffy, so we kept the window open, which let in noise from the Veneto below. Thankfully, it was mid-October. Good restaurant for lunch/dinner on street level.

Pros:

The Westin Excelsior Rome is an elegant, classic hotel that captures the timeless charm of old Rome. From the moment you step into the lobby, it feels like traveling back to a more glamorous era. The hotel has a rich history, having served as a backdrop for numerous films and hosting many stars and celebrities over the years.
The staff are exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and attentive, providing outstanding customer service throughout the stay. The rooms are spacious, clean, and decorated in warm, traditional colors with classic wallpaper. While some furnishings feel slightly dated, the comfort more than makes up for it. The beds and pillows are extremely comfortable, and the bathrooms are large and well-appointed.

Ornate Luxury in Rome, close to the Villa Borghese.
Pros:

Our hotel room at the Westin Excelsior Rome was so ornate and luxurious with chandeliers and deep-red plush curtains that at times I just felt like snuggling in the four-poster bed reading a book to escape the holiday crowds. Highly recommended.

The Westin Excelsior - Arrival Rome
Pros:

We returned to Italy this spring to celebrate our new retirement and our first night stay was at the Westin Excelsior, one of Romes grand hotels, Iocated next to the embassy district. A short walk to restaurants and site seeing attractions.
The hotel itself hasn’t changed much since our last stay 10 years ago. It’s a timeless, elegant hotel with impressively larger rooms, nice furnishings and polite and professional staff. This is a busy hotel that likely appeals more to business clients than tourists, but it’s a great experience to stay in such an historical hotel if you are visiting Rome.
