Ambasciatori Palace Hoteli?? of Rome i??is an historic building on the Via Veneto, one of the world?s most famous streets. This elegant avenue meanders through a former agricultural estate which was purchased and redesigned at the start of the 17th century by Cardinal Prince Ludovico Ludovisi who turned it into one of the most handsome and luxurious districts in the city. Designed by the well-known architect Carlo Busiri Vici, the Ambasciatori Palace Hotel, which celebrated its first hundred years in 2005, was built between 1900 and 1905. From 1993 to 2001 the building underwent restoration which not only modernized it but at the same time brought it back to its former early 20th-century splendour. The ancient stuccowork on the cornices, the ceilings, the arches and capitals, the Brazilian granite columns, marble and polychrome mosaic floors, and the intricate wrought-iron balustrade of the main staircase were all returned to their original magnificence.
