The decor is in Biedermeier style, with practical and comfortable Empire style furniture including the Westin Heavenly Bed, Bohemian chandeliers and a spacious living room. The living room features a beautiful marble floor and non-working fireplace, and overlooks Via Veneto. Each of the suites is 65 square meters.

The largest suite in Europe extends over two full floors and 11,700 square feet, culminating in a living room topped by the hotel's soaring 40-foot cupola, its surface covered in frescoes. A central part of the hotel's $40 million renovation, Villa Cupola is available with up to six bedrooms, has a rich paneled dining room that seats 10 and a private fitness room, sauna, steam bath, Jacuzzi and sun deck. There's also a boardroom and private 8-seat theater with wide screen and teleconferencing facilities.

Chef, James Foglieni, is glad to invite you to the Doney Restaurant. A grand buffet is available for lunch and an a la carte menu both for lunch and dinner. Both feature Mediterranean Cuisine, based on fresh, light products, such as fresh pasta, vegetables or fish. Among the dishes, many would like to recommend: ravioli pasta with pumpkin with shrimp sauce, typical Gragnano's pasta with asparagus and bottarga (dried fish eggs), tuna with potatoes crust, millefeuille of Catalan lobster, beef fillet with Patanegra ham, celery and parmesan cheese, creme brulee with berries, crispy millefeuille with chocolate flakes and wild strawberries.

The basket also contains a spa music CD to be played before and during your treatment as well as a selection of plant based aromatherapy oils and room sprays allowing you to choose your own scent for the treatment.
