Hotel de la Ville has emerged from an ambitious transformation project in 2021.
The eighteenth-century palazzo on Rome’s Spanish Steps is a vibrant, modern-day icon, with a Sicilian-inspired spa, enchanting courtyard, effervescent rooftop bar, street-side bistro and exquisite food from Fulvio Pierangelini. Under the direction of designer Olga Polizzi, our team is always striving to seek out exciting furnishings, materials, antiques and lighting.
Vintage mirror wall
A wall of vintage mirrors, known as‘miroirs sorcières’, have been hung in the entrance lobby and create a wonderful backdrop for family photos. Instagrammers are also enjoying capturing photos of their reflections in the round designs. Mirrors of all shapes and sizes clustered together never fail to create an interesting statement in a room.
Campari chair
Keep an eye out for our buzzing neon red chair designed by Campari, the epitome of the Italian aperitif. Named Regia, the chair has been placed at the hotel’s Julep Bar, giving the area a funky and modern touch. You will also find bright Campari cushions dotted around the Cielo Terrace to add a playful element to our rooftop.
Verdant lift design
In celebration of the great outdoors, which many of us have enjoyed exploring this past year, we have redecorated our lifts with a sage-coloured paisley, green foliage. Striking studded leather patterns have also been printed all over the glass within the lifts, creating a modern tapestry that offers passengers a feast for every sense.

The Italian Renaissance didn’t just transform Italy, it cast a spell over London too. Even Queen Elizabeth I, who ruled over England and Ireland during this great period of growth, embraced the fascination, calling herself demi Italienne, or “half Italian”. Today, in certain pockets of the capital, the artistic, intellectual, and architectural influence of Renaissance Italy can still be felt.
Inspired by the Royal Academy of Arts exhibition Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael: Florence, c.1504, dive deeper into the lives of these masters and explore their most iconic works in Florence, Rome and Milan.
With Rocco Forte Hotels in the heart of each city, we’ll guide you on a truly immersive journey through the Renaissance.
A cornerstone of the Florentine Renaissance, and widely considered one of the most influential artists of all time, Sandro Botticelli's legacy continues to impress over half a millennia since his death. His captivating depictions of mythological themes, characterised by graceful lines and pale hues, have inspired generations of creators across art, film, and fashion. Today, along the walls of the Botticelli rooms within the Uffizi Gallery, crowds queue ten-deep just to catch a glimpse of his most iconic works, The Birth of Venus and La Primavera.
