Rocco Forte Hotels has unveiled their second hotel in Rome, Italy, following an extraordinary renovation of a historical 18-century palazzo. Located atop the Spanish Steps, Hotel de la Ville features 104 well-appointed rooms and suites designed by Tommaso Ziffer, in collaboration with Olga Polizzi, Director of Design for Rocco Forte Hotels.
Hotel de la Ville is home to six innovative food and beverage outlets. The diverse offering ranges from all-day dining at Da Sistina, serving authentic trattoria style food with modern touches, to Mosaico, the hotel's main restaurant serving Mediterranean gourmet cuisine that overlooks the courtyard. The Julep bar offers all varieties of cocktails whilst the rooftop terrace bar Cielo will be entertaining guests with creatively crafted drinks, a fusion of "aperitivi" and memorable views of the Roman skyline. Bringing a piece of Sicily to Rome, the hotel also boasts the 550m² Rocco Forte Spa, the most technically advanced in the capital offering relaxing and indulgent treatments carried out by an expert team of therapists.
Commenting on the opening, Sir Rocco Forte, Chairman and CEO of Rocco Forte Hotels said: "Rome will forever be one of the top destinations in the world for both business and leisure travellers. It embodies the intricacies and wonders of Italy throughout the ages whilst being perfectly contemporary. I am so proud of Hotel de la Ville, it has all the vibrancy and elegance of this extraordinary city".
