The majority of Palazzo Borghese still belongs to the legendary family. However, smaller portions have been sold over the years, including its eastern wing annex, which opened in 2019 as Hotel Vilòn by the Shedir Collection.

Of course, staying in such a place comes at a price: €15,000 a night, to be exact. Hotel Vilón staff service the apartment, including a butler, who can arrange private visits to the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel before they open to the public, and guests have access to all hotel amenities, including the spa, bars and restaurants.
