The story of an Icon
The Rome Cavalieri, then known as the Rome Cavalieri Hilton, opened its doors to international travelers in June 1963. It was inaugurated by Conrad Hilton himself.
It immediately established itself as the point of reference for a high-level clientele who saw Rome as a popular destination and a city to visit and love.
The building that houses it was born from a project signed by the archistar of the moment Ugo Luccichenti in which Nervi also participated, but without appearing, for the part concerning the calculation of the reinforced concrete.
Instead the interior decoration was entrusted to another famous designer, Franco Albini. He built a luxurious hotel, while respecting the canons of linearity and minimalism in vogue at the time.
The hotel, while maintaining the original structure, has over time been enriched with a private art collection unique in the world and a restaurant – La Pergola, still the only 3 Michelin star in Rome.
Not only. Today Rome Cavalieri hosts a selection of refined suites and one of the most advanced congress centers in a luxury hotel in Europe.
Leader in luxury hospitality
In its 60-year history it has hosted international celebrities, heads of state, official delegations and highly confidential summits.
The scene of important world events, it was the headquarters of sporting events and the location of numerous films by various authors and nationalities. Last but not least, it saw the birth of love between celebrities who then happily married.
The list of events of these 60 years is truly long and rich.
In fact, the Rome Cavalieri has had the extraordinary ability to renew itself, always keeping up with the times, and constantly maintaining its leadership in the world of luxury hospitality.
To this day, the hotel is synonymous with excellent services, beauty of the spaces and highly professional team.
Not only. It also remains at the forefront of the most important current issues, first of all sustainability. In fact, it has achieved the coveted Green Key certification, obtained for four consecutive years.
