A landmark in Rome; the InterContinental De La Ville was established as a deluxe grand hotel in 1924 and is the only hotel in Italy to proudly boast the luxury InterContinental Hotels and Resorts brand name. Situated within the historic centre of Rome; in a commanding location at the top of the Spanish Steps; the hotel is the ideal base for visiting the vibrant cafe's and designer boutiques around the fashionable Piazza di Spagna. A short stroll from the hotel; past the Trinita dei Monti church reveals the tranquil; shaded parks and leafy avenues of the Villa Borghese. It's a wonderfully peaceful spot from which to ponder amazing views of the Eternal City.A complete refurbishment in 2002 restored the charm of the hotel's original Neo Classical style; subtly incorporating all the modern comforts and technology its 5 Star status implies
