Aldrovandi Villa Borghese is a luxury 5-star hotel at the edge of Villa Borghese in Rome, Italy.

A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, they say of it “Aldrovandi Villa Borghese is an urban oasis nestled within Rome's famous Borghese landscape gardens.”^[1] It is also adjacent to Bioparco, zoological garden located on part of the original Villa Borghese estate. This hotel received the recognition of the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards,^[2] and is part of Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List.^[3]

History

Prior to becoming a hotel, this late 19th century Umbertine palace hosted the Istituto Cabrini,^[4] a prestigious young ladies' college operated by the Sœurs missionnaires du Sacré-Cœur, and attended by pupils mainly from the aristocracy.

The hotel name is a combination of the street name Via Ulisse Aldrovandi - in honour of the Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi^[5] - and the name of the adjacent Villa Borghese gardens.

Family Story

Aldrovandi Villa Borghese is a family owned property. Before becoming general manager of the hotel, Ugo Ossani was Director of Sales & Marketing and its Executive Director.^[6]
