Romance in Rome has been going on for thousands for years. The Rome Cavalieri, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts (www.romecavalieri.com) is taking it up a notch this month with its Padlocks at Ponte Milvio ritual that encourages couples to lock a padlock to the lamppost at the bridge then throw the key behind them into the Tiber River to show a sign of their love. The ritual is popular with many Rome’s lovestruck teenagers.
Overlooking the Eternal City, the Rome Cavalieri is enclosed in 15 acres of Mediterranean parklands. It’s the first hotel in Europe to be part of the exclusive Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts. The Rome Cavalieri features an outstanding art collection, a Grand Spa with 10 themed treatment rooms and terrific Italian hospitality.
That would be the envy of a prestige health resort, and standards of luxury that set it apart from other Rome hotels. The Rome Cavalieri brings new meaning to notions of Italian style, and new purpose to the fine art of exclusive hospitality.
