Bill Gates, the majority owner of Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts has bought Palazzo Marini, a 17th-century heritage building in Rome. A downpayment of $21 million has been made. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates controls Four Seasons Hotels through his company Cascade Investment LLC.

The hotel which is located steps from the Trevi Fountain is made up of four separate blocks that occupy an entire side of Piazza San Silvestro in central Rome. With the opening of this grand hotel, the area will get a much-needed facelift, what with the ground floor store selling affordable home goods to Rome’s urban dwellers.

The upper floor serves as a canteen for the lawmakers of Italy’s lower house of parliament. With a massive Apple showroom opening in the vicinity, the first of its kind in central Rome, and the forthcoming luxury hotel, the area will be quite the hotspot.The Four Seasons have set aside a $120 million renovation budget for the luxury hotel that will house at least 100 rooms, a conference center, gym, and spa.
