(16/05/23)  IHG has expanded its portfolio of luxury hotels in Italy with the opening of the InterContinental Rome Ambasciatori Palace on one of Rome’s most iconic streets, Via Veneto.

InterContinental Rome Ambasciatori Palace bears the signature of renowned Italian architect Carlo Busiri Vici, and occupies a landmark building originally constructed in 1900 to host ambassadors staying in Rome, before serving as the American Embassy Library in 1946.

The 160-room hotel is just a short walk away from some of Rome's most iconic landmarks, including the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and the Pantheon.
