HOTEL DE ROME, BERLIN Hotel de Rome, Berlin Like Berlin itself, Hotel de Rome embodies the Forte flair for unifying apparent opposites. A grand façade – a 19th-century former bank – which belies a relaxed, intimate atmosphere. Service that is friendly and familiar, but unobtrusive. The ease of a private apartment in a luxury hotel. This happy blend of contrasts creates an elegant outpost in an achingly cool city; a relaxed hideaway in the animated Mitte district. Face-to-face with the State Opera, a stroll from Museum Island, with a rooftop oasis that peacefully observes it all. Inside, a former jewel vault becomes an ethereal spa, a cashier’s hall becomes a mosaicked ballroom, and a historic building becomes a serene space in the core of an up-all-night city – the perfect place from which to embrace, explore and escape it. VILLA KENNEDY, FRANKFURT Villa Kennedy, Frankfurt Colonnaded Neo-Gothic architecture, extensive landscaped gardens and fire-lit rooms: once a stately family home, Frankfurt’s Villa Kennedy retains an intimate atmosphere; an opulent, cosy ease. Here you become part of the Forte family, met with exceptional, intuitive care; people proud to show you their city, to make you feel at home. At ground level, a light-filled spa looks into the garden; above, French balconies survey the city. From here you can slip into leafy Sachsenhausen’s lively bars, down to Frankfurt’s famed museum embankment or into St Bartholomew’s Cathedral, then meander back for an al fresco Italian supper in Villa Kennedy’s tranquil grounds – your Forte family home in this dynamic German town. THE CHARLES HOTEL, MUNICH The Charles Hotel, Munich Named after Sir Rocco’s father, Munich’s Charles Hotel is Forte from its title to its spirited international team, who uphold the group ethos of anticipating individual needs, forging genuine rapports and, always, exceeding expectations. Verdant inside and out, The Charles is a hotel for all seasons, all wants. For summer, the elegant, leafy terrace of Sophia’s restaurant. For winter, glühwein and roasted chestnuts. Commodious rooms, a central location and tailored facilities for business and for leisure. For culture, a prime position bordering Munich’s museum quarter, Schwabing’s artistic hub and Maximilianstraße’s chic boutiques. An important cosmopolitan address for Bavaria’s capital and the Rocco Forte family.
