Rocco Forte Hotel De Russie

A Businessclass Verified Hotel

Among the trio of Rocco Forte properties gracing Rome—Hotel De Russie, Hotel De La Ville, and the exclusive Rocco Forte House—Hotel De Russie stands as a beacon of refined elegance. Nestled between the renowned Spanish Steps and the vibrant Piazza del Popolo, this five-star retreat is perfectly positioned in Rome’s premier luxury shopping enclave. The address places discerning guests steps from iconic designer boutiques, making it a coveted sanctuary for style aficionados.

This historic 19th-century palazzo, reimagined as a hotel in 2000, features 120 meticulously appointed guestrooms, including 34 sumptuous suites. The acclaimed designer Olga Polizzi, sister of Sir Rocco Forte, has imbued each space with a harmonious blend of neoclassical grandeur and contemporary comfort. Expansive windows frame enchanting city vistas, ensuring a true sense of place in the Eternal City.

Dining at Le Jardin de Russie is a highlight, with its Mediterranean-inspired cuisine served on a lush terrace—a setting that feels magical during Rome’s balmy summer evenings. The celebrated Stravinskij Bar remains a favourite among locals and visitors alike, renowned for its innovative cocktails and lively ambience. Wellness seekers will appreciate the spa’s holistic offerings: a saltwater hydrotherapy pool, traditional sauna, hammam, and six serene treatment rooms, all recently refreshed to meet the highest standards of luxury.

Among the suite collection, the Picasso, Nijinskij, and Valadier Suites are especially prized for their generous proportions and private terraces overlooking the city or gardens. Yet, it is the hotel’s enchanting secret garden—a verdant oasis of tranquility behind the historic façade—that truly sets De Russie apart. This secluded haven, beloved for its fragrant orange trees and romantic pathways, encapsulates the hotel’s reputation for unforgettable moments in the heart of Rome.
