Guests of history.
The luxury Hotel Palace is an important witness to the last century of Roman history: the building was
designed in the 20s by the eclectic architect Marcello Piacentini, already renowned for his Palace of Justice in Milan, the Rectorate of the University
of Rome and many buildings commissioned by the Roman bourgeoisie.
Inside the hotel, you can marvel at the enormous frescoes in which Guido Cadorin immortalised Roman high society of the 1930s. The fact that the people portrayed
actually existed gives the frescoes a vitality and a realism that immediately
strikes the viewer.
The Boscolo Hotel Palace was also a key landmark during the exuberant years of
La Dolce Vita, when Via Veneto was the gathering place of the biggest names in international
show business.
