Is this rumor, conjecture or planned?
It was a rumor published in the Financial Times that mentioned the Hotel Eden's departure.
"Across Via Veneto, next to the imposing and fortified US embassy, rumours are swirling that there is potential Arab buyer for the Excelsior, currently owned by the Westin group and famed for hosting successive US secretaries of state as well as some of Washington’s vaunted enemies. Former Iraq deputy prime minister Tariq Aziz was a guest just days before the 2003 US invasion."
