Hotel Eden

Initiatives for 130 Year Anniversary

Hotel Eden, 5-star luxury hotel of the Dorchester Collection, is preparing to celebrate an important anniversary: ​​130 years have passed since the hotel opened its doors in 1889. To celebrate it and share it with its guests, Hotel Eden has created a series of initiatives available until the end of the year, a cocktail, a dish and a Spa ritual created ad hoc.

Royal Eden

Silvio Favot, historic ex bar manager of the Hotel Eden, created a new recipe for Constantine II of Greece many years ago and the drink immediately became the favorite of the queen mother Federica. For a long time the ingredients remained secret, but today Il Giardino Bar offers this celebratory cocktail with the original recipe based on: vodka, dry vermouth, Campari, tonic water and drops of orange bitter.

Octopus and Celery

It is a dish that belongs to the tradition of Hotel Eden. The Executive Chef Fabio Ciervo has found the recipe in the historic menus of the hotel, and today he interprets the dish in a contemporary version at the starred restaurant La Terrazza.

The Garden of Eden

In 1889, the year when the Hotel was opened, the Italian writer Gabriele D’Annunzio, who stayed at the hotel, published “Il Piacere”, dedicated to the pleasure of the senses. To celebrate this masterpiece, The Eden Spa has created a ritual in collaboration with Mei: a 130-minute sensory journey with fig fragrance and rose and jasmine essential oils, for a sinuous body and radiant facial skin.

Outdoor swimming pool

When the summer heat arrives in Rome, there’s no better feeling than cooling off with a refreshing swim, so Hotel Eden partnered with the historic Roma Polo Club just a few minutes from the hotel, to give you full access to their beautiful swimming pool and club house. Hotel Service also drop you off in the morning, collect you in the afternoon and provide a pool kit with towels, flip-flops, water and sun cream. Open Tuesday to Sunday, July 2nd to September 15th. (only for guests).

Dj Nights

Every Monday Wednesday and Friday, 7 – 11pm. As the sun sets, the whole of Rome sparkles into life. Admire the breathtaking view over an aperitivo at Il Giardino Bar, with cocktails by Barmen of Hotel Eden.

Palazzo Manfredi

The Court

On the Ludus Magnus, the ancient gladiator gym, and with the Colosseum in the background, The Court is Palazzo Manfredi’s new lounge; the space develops between the counter worked in travertine with seats on one side, the living room on the other and a walkway that separates them. The cocktails are signed by Matteo Zed, an eclectic and daring bartender with international experiences between Japan and America. The drink list is structured on three chapters: in addition to the classic aperitifs, you can choose between the signatures and the seasonal and a selection of “Forgotten Classics & Unforgettable”, all those forgotten and timeless cocktails that have made the history of mixology. Of all, the Martini cocktail in the Roman style version deserves a mention. In addition to a good beverage, The Court offers the gourmet experience signed by Aroma Executive Chef Giuseppe Di Iorio (1 Michelin Star). From the first light of sunset to after midnight, The Court welcomes its guests in a fancy and elegant atmosphere.
