Set on Via Veneto, Hotel Imperiale by OMNIA brings together the ingredients of a memorable Roman stay: a storied address, a thoughtful 2025 restoration and a location that keeps the city’s best sights within easy reach. Inside, original art nouveau details meet bespoke rooms and contemporary Roman dining. Read on to discover just why this Rome hotel is the ideal city launchpad.
Stay in Rome’s cinematic heart
Hotel Imperiale by OMNIA is a restored 19th-century address on Via Vittorio Veneto, one of Rome’s most recognisable streets. With the Spanish Steps 650 metres away and Villa Borghese’s leafy expanse close by, the charming Rome hotel offers an easy base for days spent moving between fountains, galleries, piazzas and long Italian lunches.
The property reopened after a full renovation in 2025, carried out by Italian architects and craftsmen. Inside, original art nouveau windows and a scenographic staircase sit alongside bespoke furnishings and contemporary comforts.
Via Veneto still carries the spirit of La dolce vita
La dolce vita means ‘the sweet life’ – the title of Federico Fellini’s 1960 film about a journalist moving through Rome’s glamorous, late-night social scene. Via Veneto is one of the film’s defining locations, where movie stars gather at cafes and paparazzi wait for their next story.
Hotel Imperiale by OMNIA sits at number 24 on that same avenue, placing you inside a piece of Rome’s cinematic history. The connection isn’t about recreating the film – it’s about staying on the street that helped shape the city’s image as a place of glamour, spectacle and after-dark possibility.
Today, you can experience Via Veneto at a gentler pace. Start with an espresso in the sun, wander towards the Spanish Steps, pause in Villa Borghese, then return to the avenue for an aperitivo as Rome shifts from sightseeing into evening.
The rooms keep the building’s original character in view
The strongest reason to look beyond the standard room categories is the building itself. Hotel Imperiale’s 2025 restoration preserves its art nouveau windows and scenographic staircase, while the rooms introduce bespoke furnishings, warm timber and artisan details.
Some Omnia Deluxe rooms open onto private balconies overlooking Via Veneto, giving you a front-row view of Rome’s most cinematic avenue. Others face into the palace, where the restored architecture creates a quieter, more intimate atmosphere.
The result feels considered rather than overly styled – contemporary rooms shaped by the character of a historic Roman address.
Convivio Lounge gives Roman traditions a modern edit
At Convivio Lounge, Mediterranean flavours meet Roman tradition in a menu shaped by the seasons and the produce of the region. The cooking stays rooted in local character, but the presentation and pairings bring a lighter, more contemporary sensibility to familiar flavours.
The interiors make the restaurant feel like an extension of the hotel’s considered design. Canaletto walnut panelling, satin brass details and ribbed surfaces create an intimate setting, while the bright veranda takes its inspiration from the gardens of Villa Borghese.
It’s a restaurant with a strong sense of place – recognisably Roman without resorting to nostalgia, and polished enough for a lingering dinner, a signature cocktail or an aperitivo before an evening on Via Veneto.

Rome’s major sights are close enough to shape your days around
The location makes it simple to build a Rome itinerary without spending every hour in transit. Walk downhill towards the Spanish Steps, continue to the Trevi Fountain, or turn towards Piazza del Popolo and the northern edge of the historic centre.
Villa Borghese offers a change of pace, with tree-lined paths and cultural attractions scattered across the park. For a longer day out, Termini Station is close enough to make onward journeys straightforward, while the hotel’s 24-hour front desk and concierge can help with the practical details.
There is also something pleasing about returning to Via Veneto after the crowds of the city centre. The hotel’s restored interiors, quiet rooms and attentive service give you a place to reset before the next round of Roman streets.
