From its prime location beside the bustling Piazza del Popolo to its interiors, which seamlessly blend ancient Rome with art deco, Hotel de Russie is a masterclass in Italian elegance. The manicured gardens invite you to unwind away from the bustle of the city, though the indoor saltwater pool, Finnish sauna, and rejuvenating treatments may tempt you into the zen-inducing spa. Dining at Hotel de Russie is a journey through Italian and Mediterranean cuisines and seasonal ingredients, with the Stravinskij Bar and Le Jardin de Russie offering deceptively simple but memorable dishes in lush terraced gardens.
The 120 rooms, including 34 suites, feature spacious layouts and luxurious Carrera marble bathrooms complete with Irene Forte toiletries while views of the historic Roman streets, lush gardens or charming courtyard are a constant reminder of the beauty that awaits outside.
