Hotel de la Ville, A Rocco Forte Hotel, Rome

Whether it’s a romantic getaway, a history fix or some family fun, Hotel de la Ville has it covered. With the wonders of Rome on your doorstep, this boutique haven is idyllic for exploring the ancient city. The hotel boasts 104 beautifully designed bedrooms and suites, super spa and a vivacious rooftop bar with second-to-none panoramic views. Tuck into tantalizing Italian dishes washed down with sparkling wine, overlooking the Roman rooftops in Rome’s bella vista.

Location

Set forty minutes from both of Rome’s international airports, Hotel de la Ville is excellently placed in the heart of one of Rome’s most sought-after locations. Neatly perched at the top of the famous Spanish Steps, highlight landmarks like the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon are at your fingertips. Venture out on a stroll to St Peter’s Basilica and the Colosseum, then fulfil your fashion fix at the sprawling array of boutiques along the streets of the Via dei Condotti.

Your room

Hotel de la Ville is as sophisticated as it is playfully spirited, stepping away from the ancient city’s traditional form and towards a fresher, more stylish look. Artistic in design with opulent Indian throws and bursts of colour accenting the décor, rooms present impressive views of Via Sistina or the charming hotel courtyard. Opt for a suite with its own private terrace, whose red pinstriped sofas, sun loungers and parasols offer your own oasis to unwind away from the bustle of Rome.

Why we like it

The lively buzz of the rooftop’s Cielo Bar makes Hotel de la Ville a destination in its own right. But besides this zesty hotspot, there are plenty of decadent areas to lounge around, including an intimate terracotta courtyard. Dip into the hydrotherapy and plunge pools at the hotel’s Sicilian spa, then experience boundless Italian hospitality at Mosaico – the hotel’s signature restaurant. Led by a Michelin-star chef, the menu incorporates Roman classics with a unique international flair.
