HOTEL VILON
History & Story
The Vilòn is housed within a historic mansion which dates back to the mid-sixteenth century when it was known as the “House annexed to Palazzo Borghese”. Belonging to the noble Roman family of the Borghese since the beginning of 1600 the palace became, by will of Princess Adelaide Borghese de la Rochefacault, School for Maidens in 1841, and was further entrusted to the French nuns of the Daughters of the Cross until recently. Today, “The house annexed to the Borghese Palace” is reborn after a careful and attentive restoration which reinstates and recreates its ancient splendor.
Date Renewal
The Hotel officially opened its doors for the very first time on March 4th 2018. The interiors were carefully curated with the creative flair of Paolo Bonfini a Roman scenographer, who dressed each room with its own individual style of pastels, neutrals, black trim and jewel-toned accents. Massimo Listri curated the art, including his own captivating photographs mainly displayed in the common areas. Last but not least, Milanese Architect Giampiero Panepinto, offered his vivid creativity in the Lounge Bar living room, the Adelaide restaurant and the outside patio, with bright colors and colonial influences.
Main Strengths, Special Touch
Most of the Hotel’s sunny wide windows offer the breathtaking and very exclusive view of the private garden of Palazzo Borghese, which in 1997 won the Sotheby’s award for best restoration.
