Hotel de la Ville – Rome
Via SiStina 69, Rome 00187, italy
The newest addition to the Rocco Forte Hotels
portfolio is strategically located at the very heart of
the Eternal City: atop its iconic Spanish Steps.
While the structure housing the hotel is an 18th
century Roman palazzo, its interiors strike a pleasing
balance between traditional charm and innovative
modern comforts. Each of the Hotel de la Ville’s
104 rooms and suites is the result of a collaboration
between British hotelier and interior designer Olga
Polizzi and Italian architect-designer Tommaso Ziffer.
Every room is furnished with contemporary pieces
upholstered in exquisite fabrics that call to mind the
divine decadence of the 17th and 18th centuries.
Traditional wood floors and elegant marble bathrooms
also evoke an earlier era. cocofortehotels.comtHe Rosewood –
