History
12 dates, written by Grand Hotels of the World from the sources below.
Swiss hotelier Albert Hassler arrives in Rome to run the Hotel New York on Via Bocca di Leone, renaming it Hassler & New York.
Three buildings on Piazza Trinità dei Monti are bought from Marquis Salviucci for 380,000 francs.
After a year of renovation, the Hotel Hassler opens at the top of the Spanish Steps.
Franz Nistelweck, Hassler’s son-in-law and owner of the Hassler and the Eden, goes into partnership with Oscar Wirth.
Oscar Wirth launches a near-total demolition and rebuilding of the hotel.
Requisitioned by the Allies, the hotel houses the Supreme Command of the Air Forces.
Wirth regains control and the hotel reopens to the public.
Wirth acquires the remaining shares of the Hassler, while the Nistelweck heirs keep the Eden.
On Oscar Wirth’s death, the hotel passes to his wife Carmen Bucher Wirth, who gives her name to Carmen’s bar.
Their son Roberto E. Wirth, profoundly deaf and an advocate for deaf people, becomes general manager.
Roberto Wirth acquires a 19th-century house near the Spanish Steps and opens it as Il Palazzetto.
After Roberto Wirth’s death, his children Roberto Bucher and Veruschka Bucher Wirth take over as president and CEO.
