Your Roman holiday begins the moment you arrive. A private driver will be waiting for you at the airport or at Roma Termini station, ready to escort you to your haven in the heart of the city: Hotel de Russie (Rocco Forte).
Nestled beside the grand Piazza del Popolo, this is Rome's most iconic garden hotel—a discreet sanctuary of ultra-luxury. The building itself is a masterpiece of history and design, originally conceived in the early 19th century by the great architect Giuseppe Valadier, the visionary behind the neighboring piazza's splendour. Over its eventful life, it has been a nexus for artists, diplomats, and intellectuals, even serving as the headquarters for Italy's leading television channel. Today, it stands as a serene retreat where timeless elegance meets impeccable service.
After settling into your sanctuary, step out and let the Eternal City embrace you. From your privileged doorstep, you can lose yourself in the charm of historic lanes, be dazzled by the Trevi Fountain, climb the Spanish Steps, or savor your first Italian aperitivo on the famed Via Veneto. The afternoon and evening are yours to discover Rome’s magic at your own pace.
