The Enviroment:
Royal Demeure Hotel Group
The Hotel d’Inghilterra has its origins in the most aristocratic and elegant period in Rome’s history: monarchs, princes, artists and screen idols have always made it their home in the capital, attracted by flawless hospitality and an ideal location near Piazza di Spagna. The original building dates back to the 16th century, when it was built to serve as guest quarters for the nearby palazzo of the illustrious Torlonia family. Visiting friends and compatriots of the poet John Keats, who lived in Piazza di Spagna, stayed there, and when the building became a hotel in 1845 it took the name Hotel d’Angleterre. Since that time the hotel has built a reputation as the preferred Roman base for an elite international clientele.

About the Owner History
In the 19th century the hotel was a veritable “little England” in the heart of Rome. Following the example of the great triumvirate of romantic poets - Byron, Keats and Shelley - artists and writers met there when they came to the capital, and were at the origins of the hotel’s fame. This attracted other Italian and foreign artists, including Ungaretti, Calvino, Liszt and Mark Twain. Hemingway was a regular at the hotel when he came to Rome, together with Hollywood stars who were filming at Cinecittà: Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor and Gregory Peck all appreciated the excellent hospitality offered by the hotel.
