About The St. Regis Rome
The St. Regis Rome holds the Ritz Ballroom — opened in 1894 as the city's first public ballroom — 261 sq m for 300 at rounds, with the Domus Aurea rooms and six salons behind it: 10 event rooms and 867 sq m on Marriott's chart. It is the Rome address for a formal Indian wedding of 150 to 300 that wants gilt, frescoes and the centre of the city.
Panigrahana designs the Ritz Ballroom for a single stage wall and candlelight, and stages the pheras in the Domus Aurea or a Roman villa nearby.
