Located on the legendary and central Via Veneto, five minutes from the Barberini metro stop, the hotel is the perfect starting point to go out and explore Rome. The InterContinental Rome Ambasciatori Palace is near some of the Eternal City’s most iconic locations, including the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon. Take a stroll down the nearby Via dei Condotti and its luxury shops or through the greenery of Villa Borghese to make your stay exclusive and perfect.
Villa Borghese
This is one of Rome’s largest public parks and is known as Museum Park, as it includes the Borghese Gallery and the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary art, among various others. Within the park, you can also find the Rome Zoo, called the Biopark, the Globe Theatre, and a horse riding track. To rejuvenate lungs and spirit, nothing beats meandering through the ample greenery, among centuries-old trees and Italian-style gardens, or taking a boat ride on the lake to the Temple of Aesculapius. The closest park entrance is Porta Pinciana, about an eight-minute walk from the hotel.
Via dei Condotti
This is the quintessential shopping street, home of all the most famous Italian and international fashion brands. Just a ten-minute walk from the hotel, this iconic street starts at the Spanish Steps and ends at Via del Corso, a classic stomping ground for Romans, especially on Saturday afternoons.
After some window shopping, a stop at the Antico Caffè Greco is a must: a meeting place for artists, musicians, and intellectuals, this is Rome’s most famous literary cafe.
Galleria Borghese [Borghese Gallery]
You cannot leave Rome without having visited the Borghese Gallery, which houses part of the artistic patrimony of the family that gives it its name. The Gallery includes Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s most beautiful sculptures, such as The Rape of Prosperina and Apollo and Daphne, world famous paintings by Caravaggio, Raphael, and Titian, as well as Canova’s Paolina Borghese.

Globe Theatre
The Globe Theatre is located inside Villa Borghese. This open-air circular Shakespearian theater is built entirely in oak and features an area for spectators to watch the show standing up.

Bioparco [Rome Biopark Zoo]
Italy’s oldest zoological garden is within the confines of Villa Borghese, about a 20-minute walk from the hotel.

There are over 1500 animals in the park, representing roughly 150 species between mammals, reptiles, and birds. Little ones, as well as adults, can enjoy an entertaining train ride that makes the rounds of the park in 20 minutes.
