Shopping
Via dei Condotti and Via Veneto
 In
Rome the main shopping district of Via dei Condotti and Via
Veneto are very near the Beverly Hills Hotel Rome. Via Condotti
has all the top designer stores including Valentino, Gucci,
Prada, Dolce Gabbana etc. whereas Via Veneto is these days more
popular for eating in the fashionable cafes and restaurants
which include Hard Rock Cafe and Harry's Bar. For more reasonable
shopping try Piazza Fiume which is only 500 metres from the
Hotel Beverly Hills. In addition to being much cheaper shopping
than Via Condotti there are also fewer shoppers making shopping
much easier. Piazza Fiume is home to the Rinascente Department
store which is Italy's equivalent to Harrods... happy shopping
and if you need any assistance please do not hesitate to contact
our concierge for more information.
