Aldrovandi Villa Borghese is a luxury 5-star hotel at the edge of Villa Borghese in Rome, Italy.

A member of The Leading Hotels of the World. [1] It is also adjacent to Bioparco, a zoological garden located on part of the original Villa Borghese estate.

History

Prior to becoming a hotel, this late 19th century Umbertine palace hosted the Istituto Cabrini, [2] a prestigious young ladies' college operated by the Sœurs missionnaires du Sacré-Cœur, and attended by pupils mainly from the aristocracy.

The hotel name is a combination of the street name Via Ulisse Aldrovandi - in honour of the Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi [3] - and the name of the adjacent Villa Borghese gardens.

Aldrovandi Villa Borghese is a family-owned property. Before becoming general manager of the hotel, Ugo Ossani was director of sales and marketing and its executive director. [4]
