Rocco Forte House — Piazza di Spagna: Five Palatial Apartments Above the Spanish Steps

Rocco Forte House, Piazza di Spagna was the first location of the group's residential apartment concept, five palatial private apartments set inside an 18th-century palazzo directly above the Spanish Steps. Designer Tommaso Ziffer led the interiors, working in an elegant, opulent style that suits the building's history without feeling like a museum piece, and the roof terrace surveys one of the most photographed views in Rome.

What makes the House concept distinctive is its dedicated house manager, on hand to arrange anything from a private chef and sommelier for in-suite entertaining to an experienced nanny for families traveling with children. Guests also get unrestricted access to the spa, bars, and restaurants at Hotel de la Ville, the Rocco Forte hotel that sits just at the top of the Spanish Steps, effectively giving apartment guests the full run of a five-star hotel alongside the privacy of their own residence.

For travelers who have already stayed at Rocco Forte's more conventional Roman hotels and want something with more space and a longer-stay feel, Piazza di Spagna's apartments are worth a serious look, especially for families or small groups who would otherwise need to book multiple connecting rooms elsewhere.
