Hotel de la Ville, a Rocco Forte Hotel
Hotel de la Ville in Rome, Sir Rocco Forte’s 18th-century palazzo, both embodies and overlooks life in the Eternal City, and is perfectly located at the top of the Spanish Steps. The hotel is effortlessly cool with both a chicness that appeals to the younger generation and a timeless elegance that seduces guests of all ages.
From its perch above Piazza di Spagna, the hotel’s rooftop bar, restaurant and terrace afford postcard-perfect views over the city’s domes and cupolas. While down below, guests can relax and dine in the vast enclosed courtyard, off which lies the flagship restaurant, Mosaico. An upscale bistro, Da Sistina, lies adjacent to the lobby and occasionally hosts pop-ups from internationally renowned restaurants.
Interiors throughout have clearly been approached with incredible attention to detail and have a Grand Tour theme that is playful but always tasteful. There is a feeling of historic grandeur cleverly paired with contemporary luxury, and an eclectic mix of paintings, wallpapers, antiques, fabrics and mosaics throughout the rooms, suites and communal areas.
