History and location
editThe building that houses the hotel dates to the mid-sixteenth century when it was used as a residence for visitors of Palazzo Torlonia,[3] located across the street. By the fifteenth century, the local area was renowned for hosting the city’s best hotels and attracted foreign visitors and international communities. It is adjacent to the Via Borgognona, a historic street known for high-end shopping.[4]
In 1845, the Palazzo di Torlonia’s guesthouse was converted into a hotel known, due to its popularity with British visitors, as the Hotel d’Angleterre.[5] Monarchs, movie moguls, and renowned writers stayed here including Lord Byron, John Keats, Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, and Elizabeth Taylor.[5][6]
Art and architecture
editThe design of the Hotel d’Inghilterra was inspired by the Italian architects Alessandro Pasini and Tomaso Piantini and the furnishings and fittings were inspired by designer Roberto Terrinoni both working under the art direction of Countess Cristina Gotti Lega.[6] The first renovations date to 2008 and affected the entire fourth floor, reducing the 21 rooms to 13, larger rooms, redecorated with chandeliers of hand-blown Murano glass, and modern fabrics and amenities. Since then, the other floors have been similarly renovated.[7][8]
