HOTEL DE RUSSIE

The historic Hotel de Russie is located on the Via Babuino, right by the Piazza del Popolo, making it an ideal base for those eager to enjoy the unequalled monuments of the Eternal City, the legendary boutiques of the Via Condotti, or indeed both. Moreover, this unique establishment comes with an added bonus: the lush terraces of its Secret Garden, a peaceful haven in the centre of this bustling city.
 
The hotel recently underwent extensive refurbishment and the rooms are decorated throughout in shades of cream and brown (by Olga Polizzi, for the Rocco Forte group). Most of the deluxe double rooms, executive suites and junior suites have garden views, whereas from the classic suites guests can enjoy views of Rome. The Vaselli, Popolo and Picasso suites all have spectacular roof terraces, while the Nijinski Suite has its own outdoor dining room overlooking both the city and the gardens.
 
The spa facilities are of the same exceptional standard as the rest of the hotel, including a hydrotherapy pool, saltwater jacuzzi and Finnish sauna.
 
The Jardin de Russie restaurant, run by consultant chef Fulvio Pierangelini and executive chef Nazzareno Menghini, is popular both with hotel guests and elegant Romans alike, particularly during the summer months when tables are set in the wonderful gardens.
