Grand Tour Glamour at the Summit of Rome
Perched majestically at the very top of the legendary Spanish Steps on prestigious Via Sistina, Hotel De La Ville, a Rocco Forte hotel, is a vibrant 18th-century palazzo brilliantly transformed by celebrated architect Tommaso Ziffer in close collaboration with Olga Polizzi. Bringing the romance, artistry, and intellectual spirit of the European Grand Tour into the modern era, this five-star masterpiece commands Rome's most sweeping panoramic views, world-class gastronomy, and an atmosphere of effortless Italian glamour.
From the moment you step past the stately Roman facade into the vibrant terracotta-hued inner courtyard, Hotel De La Ville enchants with bold neoclassical aesthetics, rich velvet tapestries, bespoke wallpapers, and hand-selected antiquities. The hotel's 104 rooms and suites are individual masterpieces of color and design, featuring sumptuous marble bathrooms and private rooftop terraces that gaze out over the terracotta domes of the Eternal City and the majestic dome of St. Peter's Basilica.
Celebrated culinary visionary Fulvio Pierangelini orchestrates the property's acclaimed dining venues, from romantic courtyard dinners at Mosaico to the legendary open-air Cielo Rooftop Bar—Rome's most sought-after destination for sunset aperitivi and handcrafted cocktails by Maestro Salvatore Calabrese. Below, the serene two-story Irene Forte Spa provides an oasis of tranquility with botanical wellness therapies inspired by the rich bounty of Sicily.
