The Rocco Forte palace that has reinvented Roman luxury at the top of Via Sistina, between Trinité-des-Monts and Piazza di Spagna.
Rocco Forte Hotel De La Ville
From
1,680 €
“Cielo rooftop with 360° views over Rome’s domes, including St Peter’s and the Pantheon, open until midnight.”
Rocco Forte Hotel De La Ville occupies an 18th-century palazzo reinvented by Tommaso Ziffer in 2019, and we sense Olga Polizzi’s signature in every detail. The 104 rooms blend Carrara marble, midnight-blue velvet and bespoke furniture, with bathrooms in Vicenza stone. The Irene Forte spa offers treatments based on Mediterranean ingredients, indoor pool included. The Mosaico restaurant serves contemporary Italian cuisine, but it’s the Cielo rooftop that justifies the address, unrivalled view over the baroque rooftops. Service remains attentive without being intrusive, rare at this level. From 1 680 € a night, rate in line for this position above the Piazza di Spagna ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the De La Ville to travellers seeking a contemporary palace without veering into bling. It’s an address for couples in their thirties and up, cultural escapes, discreet anniversaries, the odd high-end business stay. Families are accepted but the clientele remains mostly adult, drawn by the rooftop and position above the Spanish Steps.
