The Legendary Table of Via Veneto.

Doney is a name inseparable from the history of Via Veneto: one of the great restaurants of Rome's dolce vita era, and the heart of the Excelsior's dining today. Specialising in Mediterranean cuisine in a chic indoor setting with views onto Via Veneto, Doney serves wedding guests with menus tailored to each couple, from a morning gathering to a grand dinner. The ORVM Bar, with its skilled mixologists and sophisticated setting, provides cocktails for the aperitivo hour and the late celebration.

Six Belle Époque Salons

Sala Boncompagni, Borghese, Campidoglio, Ludovisi, Pincio and Trianon: six gilded salons, each named for a Roman landmark, for symbolic ceremonies and grand receptions.

316 Rooms & Suites

The Dolce Vita Address.

Via Vittorio Veneto runs from the Borghese Gardens down to Piazza Barberini, lined with embassies, historic cafes and the palaces of Rome's grand hotel era. The Westin Excelsior Rome has stood at its heart since 1906, its Belle Époque facade one of the defining images of the dolce vita that Federico Fellini immortalised in 1960. To marry here is to marry in the story of Rome itself, with the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain nearby, Piazza del Popolo a short distance, and the whole of the Eternal City laid out for the wedding party.
