Rome, the Eternal City, has a soul that reveals itself only to those who lose themselves in the details, to those who observe. Every corner tells a story, every sunset a different shade, everything is a memory of a glorious past that still seems present. And then there is a place, suspended between sky and city, that knows how to amplify all this: Hotel de la Ville. Overlooking the top of the Spanish Steps of Trinità dei Monti, housed in an 18th-century noble palace, it is an elegant refuge in the vibrant heart of the Eternal City—a place from which Rome appears more real, more intimate, more fascinating. Walking along Via Sistina in the early morning hours, when the city wakes up slowly, is already an experience. The aroma of coffee, the murmur of people, the light filtering between the buildings… And then returning to Hotel de la Ville, among rooms designed by Olga Polizzi, where contemporary design meets the classic soul of the city. The rooms tell the story of Rome through their materials: marble, wood, refined fabrics, works of art that seem collected during a journey through time. From the suites with terraces — Roma, Canova, and De La Ville — the gaze stretches out over rooftops, domes, and hidden courtyards. It is the Rome of heights, silences, and details. The city that has inspired artists, poets, and travelers for centuries.
But the true Rome is also taste, conviviality, the pleasure of being together. And in this, the hotel perfectly interprets the Italian spirit, lively and sociable. Mosaico, the restaurant that enlivens the inner courtyard, offers the best welcome with its delightful breakfast. Just a few steps away, the new Café Ginori — born from the collaboration with Ginori 1735 — offers a multisensory experience: here you eat, drink, choose porcelain, and watch life flow along Via Sistina. All with a light and contemporary style. At sunset, when Rome turns golden, there is only one place you want to be: the terrace of Cielo Bar. The name couldn’t be more fitting. Signature cocktails, soft lighting, and a view that thrills even those who have known Rome forever. And if you stay for dinner, Cielo Restaurant becomes the stage for an intense, Mediterranean, deeply Italian cuisine, crafted by Chef Fulvio Pierangelini. And then, when the city slows down, the Irene Forte Spa becomes the ideal place to recharge mind and body. Treatments inspired by Sicilian nature, citrus fragrances, rituals that pamper and purify. A wellness pause immersed in stone and light, right in the city center. Hotel de la Ville is all this and much more. It is a privileged gateway to Rome, a corner where elegance, energy, and culture meet. It is the starting point to experience the city with new eyes, and the perfect place to return to whenever you feel the need for beauty, calm, and inspiration.
