This 5-star hotel combines elegant interiors, panoramic rooftop views over the Eternal City and the warm, intuitive hospitality of the Rocco Forte signature. A polished base for couples, design lovers and culture seekers exploring Rome with discretion and style.
Boasting a stunning location just above the Spanish Steps, Rocco Forte Hotel De La Ville offers 3 restaurants, a spa, and elegant 17th-century style rooms with free WiFi and traditional wooden floors. The Trevi Fountain is 10 minutes' walk away.
Overlooking the courtyard or with city views, rooms here include air conditioning, a mini-bar, and satellite flat-screen TV. The marble bathroom has handmade terracotta tiles.
After a day sightseeing or shopping along chic Via Condotti, guests can unwind at the 1804 ft² wellness center on 2 floors, which includes a hydromassage pool, a Kneipp path, a steam room, salt room, and a sauna. A 328 ft² gym is also available, and massages/treatments can be reserved.

The Rocco Forte Hotel De La Ville is a 5-star property occupying a historic palazzo at the summit of the Spanish Steps. Its interiors blend classical Roman references with bold contemporary touches, creating a layered, art-filled atmosphere that appeals to design-savvy LGBTQ+ guests seeking an elegant, attentive Italian welcome.
The hotel embraces a discreet yet inclusive approach, offering same-sex couples and solo travellers the comfort of a polished international standard combined with the personal attentiveness expected from the Rocco Forte name.
The address could hardly be more central. From the doorstep, guests step directly onto Via Sistina, moments from Piazza di Spagna, the boutiques of Via dei Condotti and the gardens of Villa Borghese. The Trevi Fountain, Piazza del Popolo and the Quirinale are within easy walking distance.
Rome's LGBTQ+ nightlife is concentrated around the Colosseum and Monti, both reachable on foot or by a short taxi ride. The Spagna metro station nearby connects the hotel to the rest of the city, making it a strategic base for cultural exploration as well as evening outings.
True to the Rocco Forte signature, the hotel offers a generous palette of services. The rooftop terrace is one of its highlights, with sweeping views over the rooftops, domes and cupolas of historic Rome — an atmospheric setting for an aperitivo at sunset.
Guests can also enjoy a wellness area with spa facilities, several dining venues showcasing Italian cuisine, and spacious rooms and suites where contemporary art and bespoke fabrics meet classical Roman proportions. Concierge service can assist with cultural itineraries, restaurant bookings and tailored experiences.
The Rocco Forte Hotel De La Ville suits LGBTQ+ couples planning a romantic Roman weekend, design enthusiasts in search of an aesthetically rich stay and travellers who appreciate a central yet quiet retreat at the end of a day spent walking the Eternal City. It is equally well placed for longer cultural escapes combining gallery visits, Italian gastronomy and elegant downtime.
