“Beautiful contemporary Roman hotel overlooking the Piazza del Popolo. Plush rooms are light and airy, many of them feature courtyard garden views. Luxury with style, great food and a spa and pool. A grown up city escape.”

Hotel review

This contemporary version of a grand, city hotel is marvellously located and done out in soothing understated style. Public spaces include the elegant Stravinskij Bar (a fine spot for people watching), the excellent Le Jardin de Russie Restaurant and the De Russie Wellness Zone. There are 122-odd well-equipped bedrooms and gleaming bathrooms. But the ‘wow’ factor is the magnificent terraced garden, filled with orange and lemon trees, statues and butterflies.

Hotel de Russie

It opened in 2000, but constant nips and tucks have kept the city's first true design hotel fresh. Star features include a prime location, suave Ancient-Rome-meets-Art-Deco décor, and a raft of curated experiences – but the headliner will always be the courtyard, home to the hotel’s classy cocktail bar and restaurant.
