Rocco Forte Hotel de Russie Rome
鬧中取靜的歷史花園 A Garden of History and Serenity
羅馬洛克福德大酒店位于羅馬人民廣場和西班牙廣場之間,卻能隔絕喧囂,呈現(xiàn)綠洲般的綠色和寧靜。酒店擁有一座面積達2800平方米的階梯花園,種滿了棕櫚樹、紫杉、橘林和潔白攀緣薔薇,對于市中心的酒店而言尤為難得。

The Hotel de Russie, located between two of Rome's most beautiful and famous Piazzas, Piazza del Popolo and Piazza di Spagna, offers a haven of tranquility and greenery. The Secret Garden of the hotel has 2,800 square metres of terraced gardens, full of palm trees, yews, orange trees and white climbing roses, a rare value for a hotel in the heart of the city.
The hotel was designed in the early 19th century by the great architect Giuseppe Valadier, who redeveloped the neighboring Piazza del Popolo. Artist Pablo Picasso and poet Jean Cocteau stayed for three months at the hotel in February 1917 when preparing to stage the first ever Cubist ballet. The friends occupied adjoining rooms and leaned out of the windows to pick oranges from the garden. This historical event gave birth to the artistic Picasso Suite of Hotel de Russie.
The Hotel de Russie is part of Rocco Forte Hotels since 2000 and has become one of the best hotels in town. Designed by architect Tommaso Ziffer, the 122-bedroom hotel is a fascinating mix of old and new, with modern design that respects the classical architecture of the building. Hotel de Russie is an integral part of Rome.
