The 122-key Hotel de Russie, located between the iconic Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo, is a unique oasis of tranquility in the heart of the Eternal City.
Guest rooms are outfitted in a classic contemporary style and overlook the hotel’s private “Secret Garden,” or Rome’s picturesque terracotta rooftops. The hotel’s sixth and top floor touts three indulgent signature suites—Popolo, Vaselli and Picasso—each with a private terrace granting spellbinding views, as well as the Nijinski Suite, which offers the height of residential luxury, a true home away from home. Dine on seasonal Mediterranean fare at Le Jardin de Russie, and during the warmer months, enjoy your meal al fresco, beneath palm and orange trees. For a classic Italian aperitivo, the Stravinskij Bar is one of the city’s best, attracting even discerning locals for its spread of light bites and classy cocktails. To round out its ample offerings, the five-star property has an on-site spa with an extensive treatment menu, hydrotherapy pool, sauna, Turkish bath and fully equipped fitness center.
