There are three Rocco Forte properties in Rome – the hotels de Russie and de la Ville plus Rocco Forte House which features just five suites. de Russie is located close to the Spanish Steps and the Piazza del Popolo – the heart of Rome’s luxury district. This hotel is positioned close to all the high-end boutiques and is an ideal base for fashionistas. The property has 120 rooms including 34 suites. The 19th century building opened as a hotel in 2000 with its delightful design down to the brilliant Olga Polizzi, Forte’s sister. The rooms are palatial – well thought-out and comfortable. All have Roman views. Le Jardin de Russie restaurant offers Mediterranean cuisine and boasts a terrace – romantic and wonderful in the Summer. The Stravinskij Bar is one of the most popular in the city. The spa features a saltwater hydrotherapy pool, sauna, hammam and six treatment rooms. Of the suites, the Picasso, Nijinskij and Valadier are the most sought after, as they are perfect in every way. The highlight of the hotel though is its secret garden – which could be renamed as the unforgettable garden as it is just that.
