HOTEL DE RUSSIE
ROME
Straddling seven hills , the Eternal City has some of the best travel experiences . Where else can you take in historic ruins in the morning and dig into a glorious plate of cheesy , peppery cacio e pepe in the afternoon ? And just like Rome wasn ’ t built in a day , the luxury hotel segment in the city also took some time to come together . One hotel that has become the epitome of classic Italian hospitality and retro glamor is the Rocco Forte Hotels ’ Hotel de Russie . Set between two famous sites , Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps , the hotel is a short walk from most of the major attractions . The landmark property was popular among Russian dignitaries and aristocrats ( the source of its name ) and
has counted numerous celebrities as its guests , including Pablo Picasso , Stravinsky and Jane Cocteau . Setting the hotel apart is its expansive “ secret garden ,” which was originally designed by architect Giuseppe Valadier in the 19th century and recently restored to reflect the original design . Dining in Le Jardin de Russie is an experience not to be missed . Meanwhile , the wait is over for the meticulously redesigned Nijinsky Suite , a twobedroom abode featuring indoor and outdoor living spaces — a true personification of an aristocratic Roman home , complete with original statues at the entrance and 19th-century plates and objets d ’ art from the Valadier period . Because , “ When in Rome .”
