Where I stayed in Rome - InterContinental Rome Amb Where I stayed in Rome - InterContinental Rome Ambasciatori Palace #hosted

Located on the chic Via Veneto, the @intercontinentalroma is housed in a palazzo that opened in 1905 as a residence for ambassadors visiting Rome. Today, it's the perfect pied-à-terre for your Roman sojourn - attractions like the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps are a short walk away, Roma Termini is a quick taxi ride, and the Barberini metro station is nearby.

The hotel retains the marble columns and grand staircase of the original palazzo while the refurbished design nods to Rome's history and architecture. I loved my spacious suite with its contemporary design, Tuscan marble and leather touches, and premium Byredo amenities. 

The Vici bistrot served up a sumptuous breakfast every morning and turned into an upscale ristorante in the evening, while Charlie's Rooftop bar is THE place for a stylish aperitivo. I tried one of their signature cocktails with gin, rose liqueur, lemon, and sparkling rosé. Named La Dolce Vita, it's an apt homage to the Eternal City - whether it's the decadent setting of Fellini's 1960 movie or modern Rome as it stands today in all its 2779-year-old glory!

Italy, again??? Si!!! This time, it was a researc Italy, again??? Si!!!

This time, it was a research trip for a certain guidebook. 25 days, multiple cities, endless hours on the road - it certainly wasn't dolce far niente! 

But 🇮🇹 is forever 🩷

I'm always happy to be back in Italy, can't you te I'm always happy to be back in Italy, can't you tell? I had a couple of hours to kill before getting on a train to Amalfi, so I hopped on the metro to go gaze at this 2,000-year-old beauty!

My favourite band performing in my own city? There My favourite band performing in my own city? There's no way I was going to miss Def Leppard's debut concert in Mumbai, so we obviously bought tickets the day they went on sale several months ago 🐆

I grew up crushing on @joeelliott (and the rest of the hotties from Sheffield!) Loved everything about them — their sound, the crazy lyrics (I mean, have you heard Pour Some Sugar On Me?), the wild 80s hair, and their particular brand of rock anthems and fantastic arena performances 🎶

Now in their 60s, they brought the same energy to Mumbai — Joe the voice, Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell shredding their guitars, Rick 'Sav' Savage underlining the bass, and @rickallenlive's scintillating drumming! My one tiny grouse is that Phil kept his shirt on and we didn't get to see his magnificent abs 😂

We were treated to everything from Bringin' On the Heartbreak, Photograph, and Foolin' to Animal, Hysteria, and Armageddon It. Plus a surprise acoustic rendition of Two Steps Behind by Joe. Loved that they played Switch 625 and White Lightning — no better tribute to the guitar legend that was Steve Clark, gone too soon 💔

Thank you for rocking Mumbai, @defleppard! Joe, Sav, Phil, Rick, Vivian (and Steve RIP) — you truly are the Rock of Ages 🤘🏽
