The Hotel de la Ville in Rome is a family affair and another hit from the fabulous Rocco Forte. This five-star hotel impresses with its elegant and classic ambience, unique location at the top of the Spanish Steps, a great spa, and a lively rooftop bar—a magical place to admire the city's buildings and iconic monuments from above. The rooms are decadent yet cozy, featuring textured wallpaper, carved mirrors, imperial busts, and some with oversized terraces that put Rome at your feet.
The orange blossom-scented De la Ville Spa brings a piece of Sicily to Rome, thanks in large part to its organic products. Look forward to six treatment rooms, a Rasul mud room, a salt room, and an ice fountain, as well as fantastic hydrotherapy and plunge pools. Personal trainers are on hand to help you achieve the perfect bikini figure with a range of fitness classes. The Eternal City lies at your doorstep: tourist must-sees such as the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain are within easy walking distance. Don't miss out on a sinful Italian gelato from one of the countless ice cream stands—that's what la dolce vita tastes like!
Many of the cozy rooms overlook the dreamy courtyard or the bustling streets. The Deluxe Room with Panoramic View, on the other hand, treats you to a view of some of the city's most important monuments as soon as you look out the window. For larger groups and the ultimate in luxury, book the palatial De la Ville Penthouse Suite, which spans the entire seventh and eighth floors of the building and combines the three signature suites Canova, Roma, and De la Ville. From several outdoor terraces, you can look out over the whole of Rome and feel truly imperial.
At Mosaico, a magnificent Michelin-starred chef conjures up Roman classics such as focaccia from the wood-fired oven – or you can indulge in creative dishes such as field beans with lemon cream, eggplant, chickpea and mint dumplings, and fried baby shrimp. Da Sistina, on the other hand, is more of a classic trattoria. Here you can expect unexpected Roman specialties (fancy tripe today?), perfect pasta, and a chic crowd. You can get an ingenious Negroni at the Cielo rooftop bar, which also offers a fantastic view of the Rome skyline. Back on the ground floor, Julep has a whole range of vermouths, herbs, and spices ready to mix your new favorite cocktail.
Located above the world-famous Spanish Steps, the Hotel de la Ville, a Rocco Forte Hotel, is the perfect accommodation for anyone who wants to experience Rome at its most beautiful. The luxury hotel has 89 comfortable rooms and 15 exclusive suites, ranging from a 615-square-foot suite to the unique Presidential Suite with several terraces offering spectacular views of the Eternal City. Small details such as textured wallpaper, carved mirrors, imperial busts, and the enchanting courtyard lend the Hotel de la Ville its classic charm.
