Following a recent facelift, the stunning 5-star Hotel de Russie is one of the most elegant and glamourous hotels in the world. Though located in the heart of Rome’s bustling Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo district, Hotel de Russie nonetheless feels worlds away from the chaotic crowds of Rome. Dating back to 1814, iconic Italian architect Giuseppe Valadier was commissioned to create a “Roman refuge” for the Russian imperial family and various other well-to-do personalities of that time. Since then, the Hotel de Russie has received a much-needed renovation and is now part of the luxurious Rocco Forte hotel portfolio. The hotel also offers a wealth of luxurious amenities including a heavenly spa center, multiple in-house dining options and a beautiful outdoor pool—don’t be surprised if you see George Clooney or Julia Roberts quietly sipping a cocktail in the hotel’s magical outdoor garden oasis. The hotel is also within easy walking distance of Rome's key landmarks, restaurants and the famous Via Condotti shopping district.
