The Hotel Lord Byron’s heritage as a private townhouse estate perfectly fits the context of the Parioli district, one of Rome’s most exclusive areas. The neighbourhood boosts the highest concentration of foreign embassies, multinational corporations, banks and other top professional offices. Equally known for its wealth of fine art and greenery, the surrounding area of the Lord Byron makes for a wonderful daytime bicycle excursion.
The Parioli district hosts the spectacular Borghese Gardens, which opened to the public on July 12, 1903 after much legal dispute. Romans and international travellers alike may today visit the park’s 80 hectares, 35 fountains, 15 buildings, 14 smaller structures, 10 monuments and many acclaimed statues admireing its outstanding beauty and character. Within the Borghese Gardens, the Borghese Gallery has recently re-opened its doors to some of the world’s most famous art after extensive renovation.
Palazzo Barberini, National Gallery of Modern Art, Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia, Auditorium Parco della Musica and many other extraordinary places are located in close proximity.
A 15-minute stroll from the hotel to Via Veneto, signature of the Roman “dolce vita” coined in the 1960’s… the windy, plane-tree lined street is marked by select upscale boutiques, historical cafes and the U.S. Embassy.
Families travelling with small children will not have to venture far for a visit to the city zoo, Bioparco di Roma, likewise located in the Parioli district.
