A fascinating book recounting 130 years of life and glamour, stories and personalities at The St. Regis Rome, an iconic and unique place that has been special since its first design by César Ritz. It was 1894 when César Ritz opened the Grand Hotel de Rome, now The St. Regis Rome. A stone's throw from the Via Veneto made famous by Fellini's Dolce Vita, over the years its lounges have seen personalities from the world of culture, politics, and the star system pass through. Today as yesterday. This book, a precious coffee-table book with an indigo velvet cover, celebrates the Art of Living that has made The St. Regis Rome an icon of hospitality around the world. Photographer and director Francesco Carrozzini has interpreted with his refined eye a contemporary place of gestures and contrasts. An alchemy of art, music, cuisine and craftsmanship that enchants with its elegance and research and that we have recounted in these pages, alongside the beautiful archival photos of the many celebrities who have stayed here.
