The entrance is almost impossibly discreet for a building of such stature. Set at the summit of the Spanish Steps, where Via Sistina begins its climb toward Trinità dei Monti, Hotel de la Ville occupies an eighteenth-century palazzo that has watched over Rome's most storied staircase for centuries. The interiors, shaped by Olga Polizzi and Tommy Smythe, draw from the tradition of the Grand Tour, layering bold color, classical references, and contemporary Italian craft into rooms that feel both theatrical and deeply personal. It is a Rocco Forte hotel, which means the service carries the precision of a family-run institution with five decades of hospitality behind it.
The 104 rooms and suites look out over the terra-cotta rooftops of Rome or into quiet internal courtyards, each one dressed in rich fabrics, custom furnishings, and artwork that nods to the city's layered history. Many of the suites open onto private terraces with views stretching from the dome of St. Peter's to the Villa Borghese gardens. The scale ranges from intimate rooms finished in jewel tones to grand suites with separate living areas and enough space to settle in for a week. Bathrooms are appointed in marble, with Irene Forte Skincare products throughout.
Dining here unfolds across several distinct settings. The rooftop Cielo Terrace and Restaurant offers panoramic views of Rome's skyline alongside Italian and Mediterranean dishes that shift with the season. It is, without exaggeration, one of the more remarkable vantage points in the city, particularly at golden hour when the light catches the travertine below. On the ground level, the Julep Herbal & Vermouth Bar channels the atmosphere of an intimate Roman salon, with botanical cocktails and a menu rooted in Italy's vermouth tradition. De la Ville Caffè provides a more relaxed rhythm for morning espresso or an afternoon aperitivo. For private occasions, the hotel's event spaces include frescoed salons and a courtyard garden that feels worlds removed from the bustle of Via del Corso just steps away.
The Irene Forte Spa occupies a serene lower level, offering treatments built around the family's own organic skincare line, with ingredients sourced from the Forte family's Sicilian estate. A fully equipped fitness center and a series of wellness rituals complement the spa experience. The hotel also arranges bespoke Roman experiences, from private gallery visits to guided explorations of the city's lesser-known neighborhoods.
Location here is not incidental. The Spanish Steps are literally at the doorstep. The Via Condotti shopping district stretches out below, the Borghese gardens are a short walk above, and the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and Piazza Navona are all within easy reach on foot. Hotel de la Ville sits at the intersection of Rome's artistic, architectural, and social life in a way few addresses can claim. You leave the lobby and you are already in the middle of the story. You return in the evening, climb to the rooftop, and the whole city arranges itself before you, unhurried and ancient and impossibly alive.

What we love about this stay
There's a particular gravity to a hotel that sits above the Spanish Steps—not just the location, but the way it shapes your relationship with Rome. Hotel De La Ville feels like it belongs to the city's deeper timeline, with 17th-century bones dressed in a design language that's confident enough to pair traditional wooden floors with handmade terracotta tiles in marble bathrooms. It's layered rather than themed, which matters. Fulvio Pierangelini's presence across three restaurants gives the food a seriousness that earns its own evenings, not just convenience between sightseeing. What lingers most is the rooftop perspective—Rome spreading out beneath you, intimate and vast at once, the kind of view that makes the city feel like it's confiding something.
