The hotel’s crown jewel is the Suite de la Ville, situated on the eight floor with two terraces.
Rocco Forte Hotels said designer Tommaso Ziffer, in partnership with its director of design Olga Polizzi, was inspired by The Grand Tour of the 18th century when English and German nobles collected pieces of art during their cultural journeys to European cities.
Hotel de la Ville features six food and beverage outlets as well as a courtyard, whose design has been lifted by George Carter.
It also houses the 550 square metre Rocco Forte Spa, which is claimed to serve as a healthy retreat for physical and spiritual wellness cocooned in the centre of the bustling Italian capital.
