HOTEL MAJESTIC is located in Rome near: In the roaring 1950's, Via Veneto reflected the glamour of the Dolce Vita, with cafès where people sat all day hoping to be either photographed or discovered, and with the elegant shopping haunts of Hollywood-on-the-Tiber.

The cafès are still there, as are most of the nice shops, the new feature is a row of glass-enclosed outdoor restaurant areas.

At the top end of Via Veneto you will see the monumental Aurelian Walls that have surrounded Rome for 17 centuries. When the Aurelian Walls were built, during the last quarter of the 3rd Century AD, Rome's decline had already started. For the several centuries before that, Rome's protective barrier had been at the outer edges of the Empire: Germany, Syria and Northern England (where Hadrian's Wall in still today an imposing sight like the Wall of China).

In the last quarter of the 19th century, the Ludovisi princes took advantage of the real estate boom to carve up their huge estate into the upper middle class blocks you see today. They laid out a new boulevard, Via Veneto, with a wide curve to help the carriage horses make it up the hill from the Piazza of their neighbours, the Barberini. The last vestiges of the Ludovisi family (descended from Pope Gregory XV) are the Casino dell'Aurora among the trees high above Via Aurora, and the original Villa Ludovisi hidden behind Palazzo Margherita, the American Embassy.

Shopping on Via Veneto can be summed up in three words: leather, jewelry and fashion. These shops are interspersed with many of Rome's best hotels and coffee bars.
