Without a doubt Europe’s most historic city, a short break in Rome encompasses the glories of the Roman Empire, the wonders of the Renaissance, the treasures of the Vatican and the vibrancy of modern Italy. The beauty of the Eternal City will take your breath away. Throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain and you’ll be sure to return.
HOTEL DE RUSSIE
In one of the most beautiful cities in the world, the timeless Hotel de Russie offers unsurpassed luxury and service that is second to none.
Situated in a central position between the Spanish Steps and the Piazza del Popolo, the Russie is ideally placed within easy reach of all Rome’s major attractions. Beautifully appointed and elegantly furnished, this gorgeous hotel has the added attraction of a ‘Secret Garden’ to the rear of the property. Here guests can stroll in a calm oasis of greenery, enjoy a cocktail at the Stravinskij Bar or dine al fresco at Le Jardin de Russie Restaurant.
ROMAN HOLIDAY
No short break in Rome would be complete without a visit to at least one of the city’s spectacular Roman edifices – and there are plenty to choose from. Stare in wonder at the 2,000-year-old dome of the Pantheon with its circular oculus or gaze down into the depths of the Colosseum, imagining the roar of the crowds as the gladiators clashed. In the Forum, you’ll walk the same paths that Caesar trod...
A STATE WITHIN A STATE
As the world’s most famous Christian Church, St Peter’s stands testament to the extraordinary genius of two men: Michelangelo designed the dome and Bernini was responsible for much of the interior. Just as awe-inspiring, the Musei Vaticani has 1,400 rooms of spectacular treasures, culminating in the ravishing Sistine Chapel and Raphael Rooms.
SHOPPER'S DELIGHT
At the foot of the Spanish Steps, three streets – the Via Condotti, the Via Borgognona and the Via Frattina – are home to the cream of Rome’s fabulous shopping opportunities. Luxury leather goods, designer fashion, fine jewellery and antiques are displayed in a succession of windows to tempt you inside.
