Italian palazzo classic contemporary
Hotel de Russie is in a prime location between the Spanish steps and the Piazza del Popolo. Situated right next to the Santa Maria del Popolo Church, exclusive boutiques and antique shops line the nearby streets. St Peter’s Square is a ten minute walk away and the Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain are close by.
The Hotel de Russie is a luxury hotel in an elegant yet grand sort of way. The beautiful building and gardens are set on the Piazza del Popolo amidst the high class shopping area featured in Audrey Hepburn’s box office hit, ‘Roman Holiday’. Before the taxi has pulled up, liveried doormen are opening doors and inspecting the red carpet!
This five-star luxury hotel has a list of famous guests, even before the cast of Ocean’s Eleven decided to stay here whilst filming. If the staff can look after George Clooney, apparently ousting countless fans dressed in chambermaids’ uniforms, they can certainly look after the hoi-polloi in style. Former guests Stravinskij and Picasso are both immortalized in the Stravinskij Bar and the Picasso Suite. Guest rooms are decorated in classic style in calming shades of cream and brown. Comfy armchairs and traditional shutters are just some of the features in the spacious rooms and suites, most of which have garden views.
The Hotel de Russie is one of the most unique luxury hotels in Rome. The Spa is a vision of calm with blue mosaic tile throughout. After a relaxing massage, enjoy the bubbling hydrotherapy pool. There is also a gym, steam room and sauna if you need to work off those Italian desserts.
Outdoors is even more pleasant, if that is possible. The terraced gardens of fruit trees invite you to linger over a frothy cappuccino, or a De Russie Martini in the evening. The secret garden is a haven for butterflies in the centre of the city and was created in collaboration with the WWF. Dining in Le Jardin de Russie restaurant is a wonderful experience, al fresco on the terrace. Delicious food is attractively presented under Chef Nazzareno Menghini. Breakfast, lunchtime buffets and late night dining are all served in a great atmosphere with effortless service. The Hotel de Russie captures everything you imagine of a typical Italian palazzo, with elegant terraces, steps and gardens and magnificent views of Rome.
