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.
Family Story
Aldrovandi Villa Borghese is a family owned property. Before becoming general manager of the hotel, Ugo Ossani was Director of Sales & Marketing and its Executive Director.[4]
