Thanks to the recent renovation this hotel has been able to hold its own, though guests should remember to request a renovated room.
BlackBook "The Baglioni bestows that pre-war, aristocratic experience; the kind where bags were packed and delivered for you, meals appeared at the ring of a bell, and outfits laid out that morning by a valet."
Fodor's "The Regina Baglioni—royal in its elegance, replete with chandeliers, grand staircases, red carpets, and gigantic statues—enjoys a prime spot on the Via Veneto."
