In much more than name, Rocco Forte Hotels is the Forte family. At its head are Sir Rocco, his sister Olga and

his three children. Behind it are four generations of Forte hoteliers. It is in every way a family business; a shared love evident

in every Rocco Forte hotel – each exuding the Forte’s innate Anglo-Italian style, sophistication and warmth.

As their guest at Rome’s Hotel de Russie, you will see the family’s philosophy brought to life. Their instinct for choosing an

unparalleled address, stood between Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps. One that is iconic in its own right, its blush

render, tiered terraces and sprawling Secret Garden deemed paradise on Earth by Jean Cocteau; known today as home to Rome’s liveliest

aperitivo hour. Their talent for taking an illustrious, established site and making it modern: Roman sculptures and prints, dashes of

colour and Italianate mosaics gilding a light, elegant and understated space.

This you will see, but some things must be felt. The sincere, attentive interest and understanding of its team. The inviting sense

of openness and ease. Total tranquillity and privacy against the backdrop of the buzzing Eternal City. And the cinematic,

dolce vita air that fills Rome infusing the hotel.
