Built in 1886, the Savoy Hotel is a former palazzo which lies just 30 metres from fashionable Via Veneto, the street immortalised in Fellini's 1960 movie La Dolce Vita; the Spanish Steps are 500 metres away.

The nearest airport is Rome Ciampino (CIA) 28 kilometres away, and around 35 minutes by car.

Converted into a hotel in 1920, Savoy Hotel preserves its 1920s style in a spacious, high ceilinged lobby with Murano glass chandeliers, a multi coloured marble floor, floral rugs, and potted plants. Guests can plan days out using the two computers with high speed Internet access (surcharge) in a room just off the lobby. Wireless Internet (surcharge) is available in the lobby. A nearby garage offers parking for 25 30 EUR per night, depending on the size of the car, and attendants provide valet service at no extra charge.

The candlelit fine dining restaurant serves Mediterranean dishes for dinner, or guests can dine in the more informal caféteria under vaulted ceilings; a lounge offers evening bar service.

A health club with indoor swimming pool and exercise classes 200 metres away offers discounts to Savoy Hotel guests. Villa Borghese park, 350 metres away, contains playgrounds, tennis courts, and an eight kilometre jogging path.

Savoy Hotel has 132 air conditioned guestrooms spread over seven floors. Rooms feature high ceilings and modern décor in light colours. Amenities include desks, minibars, wireless Internet (surcharge), laptop sized safes, and satellite television with pay movies. Marble bathrooms come with shower/tub combinations, hair dryers, and complimentary toiletries.

Although visitors are not permitted inside, some of the cypresses and walls of the garden compound known as Palazzo Ludovisi, one of Rome's oldest aristocratic residences, can be seen at the end of the street on which the hotel is located.
