A Strong Commitment

At Hotel de Russie, we recognise the key role we can play in influencing the world outside our doors. This understanding motivates us to do our part for sustainability in every way we can, from carefully considering the carbon footprint of our suppliers, to reducing our paper usage. We believe that sustainability and social responsibility are deeply connected and help form our wider environment. We know that our endeavours benefit our guests, partners, and the wider community, driving us to enhance our sustainability and social responsibility initiatives even further.

Our Vision

Giacomo Battafarano, Managing Director Southern Italy

"The management of Hotel de Russie and Hotel de la Ville, both located in the historic centre of Rome, encourage and support action to improve sustainability. From an environmental perspective, we adopt measures aimed at reducing waste and improving recycling processes. From a social standpoint, we pursue strong policies that prioritise the well-being of employees, as well as economic responsibility. We support local and ethical suppliers, thus strengthening the connection with the destination through our involvement in the local supply chain".

Electric charging station at Hotel de la Ville Rome

Low carbon mobility

When possible, we try to favour electricity over petrol. Hence, we installed an electric charging station in our garage to allow us to welcome more electric cars. We also added an electric tuk tuk to our transportation fleet for guests to enjoy a guided tour, or a quick transfer in the city centre.

Smart devices

To avoid waste and overconsumption of energy and electricity, the in-room A/C system is linked to the windows in all of our refurbished rooms - when guests open the window, the A/C temporarily stops until the window is closed again.

In-room Green program

Our in-room green program enables guests to request linen and towel renewal only when they need it, instead of changing them everyday. By doing so, we help reduce our water and energy consumption.

The history of Hotel de Russie

The history of the Hotel takes us back to the early 19th century when its construction was entrusted to the famed architect Giuseppe Valadier, who also redeveloped the neighbouring Piazza del Popolo. Regular visits from representatives of the Russian Imperial House, along with numerous Russian intellectuals and Russian Romantic painters, eventually gave rise to the name Hotel de Russie. Over time, the Hotel also played host to many artistic luminaries including Jean Cocteau and Pablo Picasso, Giacomo Frey, John Gibson (pupil of Italian sculptor Antonio Canova), Sergei Diaghilev, and Vaslav Nijinsky.

Preservation of historical heritage

In 2000, the interior renovation of our historic building was entrusted to architect Tommaso Ziffer who worked in collaboration with Olga Polizzi, Design Director of Rocco Forte Hotels. The resulting interior design showcases a unique fusion of both historical and modern influences, where contemporary design ideas blend perfectly with the classic architecture of the building. Today, Hotel de Russie continues to be a reference point for art lovers and design enthusiasts alike.
