History
Opened April 2019 atop the Spanish Steps in an 18th-century palazzo. Rocco Forte's second Rome hotel after Hotel de Russie. The rooftop Cielo Terrace offers some of the city's best views.
The setting
Hotel de la Ville commands Via Sistina, 69, at the very crown of the Spanish Steps — the 135-step Baroque staircase completed in 1726 and one of the most celebrated urban set-pieces in the world, rising to the twin-towered church of Trinità dei Monti from which Poussin, Ingres, and Zola all once absorbed the skyline. From this elevated perch the hotel surveys Piazza di Spagna and the rooftops of the Tridente below, while the Trevi Fountain lies ten minutes on foot and the Pantheon seventeen minutes through the golden lanes of the historic center. The proximity to Villa Medici and the Villa Borghese gardens above, combined with a three-minute walk to the Spanish Steps, makes this address one of the most coveted vantage points in Rome. 7-minute walk to National Gallery of Ancient Art in Barberini Palace. 32 km from Leonardo da Vinci Airport.
