All of them are the result of a delicate balance between hard work and passion and
the Hotel de Russie in Rome is no exception! In 1917, the French poet Jean Cocteau
dubbed this hotel as the “Paradise on earth” and the accolade still stands today.
Located in the heart of Rome, between the most picturesque piazzas of the city,
Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo, Hotel de Russie is one of the Eternal City´s
most prestigious luxury hotels.
Their unforgettable concept involves us in the city concept and philosophy,
promoting a unique sense of exclusivity and uniqueness.
Composed of several types of suites that provide unique moments, like the
presidential and terrace suites that highlight warm colours combined with style and
comfort. Generous in size and decorated with feature accents inspired by the city’s
antique history, the elegant interiors include sculpture and bas relief, photography
and vibrant cushions made with lavish Zimmer + Rohde fabric, and chic furnishings
from Porada and Porta Romana.
Effortlessly blending classical influences and contemporary design, as envisioned by
Olga Polizzi and architect Tommaso Ziffer, the five-star Hotel is comprised of 120
rooms and suites that exemplify luxurious Roman living and offer sweeping views
of the historic city streets. Take, for example, the Valadier suite which is beautifully
appointed and decorated in a contemporary yet classic style with breathtaking views.
The Picasso Suite was named after the celebrated artist who stayed there for
several months in 1917. The Picasso Suite pays homage to its namesake through its
expressive, elegant decor. It is composed of fine Italian furniture from Citterio and
Meridiani.
The Popolo Suite has one of the most exclusive views in the city. It elegantly marries
accents from Rome’s classical and contemporary heritage while antique wall reliefs
and sculpture are displayed alongside a curated collection of bespoke rugs, mid-
century furniture, and a colour palette that echoes Papal Rome.
However, one of the most sought-after suites is the Nijinsky suite that makes you feel
right at home! It is both playful and refined. The stunning Carrara marble bathroom,
adorned with Bisazza mosaics makes you feel like you are in a Roman bath.
As a whole, every detail has been carefully thought out! The sense of refinement and
elegance are undoubtedly the points that best define the experience at Hotel de Russie.
