Hotel de Russie sits on Via del Babuino, between Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps. The location is central, but this Rocco Forte hotel is known less for street drama than for what sits behind the facade: a terraced Secret Garden. Orange trees, roses and mature pines give a stay here a different rhythm from the surrounding shopping streets. For a luxury hotel in Rome, that contrast is its most persuasive feature.
The smaller single-room option is for one guest.

The Secret Garden rises through planted terraces, with a small waterfall linking three nymphaeums. Its combination of stone, water and Mediterranean greenery gives the property its clearest identity. There is room in a day here for the city and for doing very little: looking across the planting, listening to the water or lingering before returning to the street. The garden rewards travelers who intend to spend time at their hotel, rather than simply sleep close to the monuments.
Architect Giuseppe Valadier, whose work also shaped Piazza del Popolo, designed the early nineteenth-century building. Inside, Olga Polizzi and Studio Moschino have brought a more intimate scale to the entrance, reception and concierge areas. Walnut paneling, amber tones and pale leather sit alongside a glass chandelier and antique Italian carving. A bronze screen gives the concierge desk its own place within the sequence of rooms. These details soften the formality of the architecture without disguising it.
The accommodation comprises 64 bedrooms, 26 junior suites and 27 suites, totaling 117. Outlook is an important part of the choice. Superior Rooms measure approximately 33 square meters and come in city-facing and garden-view categories. Deluxe Rooms have about 40 square meters, while Deluxe Rooms with Garden View have 45. A larger room does not automatically mean the outlook you want; the named garden categories are worth distinguishing from rooms facing the street or inner courtyard.
For families, two-bedroom configurations provide a useful alternative to separate reservations. The Two-Bedroom Family Room combines two Deluxe Rooms across approximately 80 square meters. The family junior-suite configuration extends to about 100 square meters. Among the individual suites, the 77-square-meter Valadier Suite has a French balcony overlooking the garden and Pincio. The Popolo Suite with Terrace faces Piazza del Popolo, bringing a different part of Rome into view.
The Nijinsky Suite with Terrace is particularly suited to travelers who want to entertain privately. Its 172-square-meter interior includes a living room with a bar and a dining table for ten, while the bedroom leads to a walk-in wardrobe and mosaic bathroom with a steam bath and separate shower. Red walls, terracotta flooring and Italian antiques give the rooms a warm character. Outside, a 239-square-meter terrace looks toward Villa Borghese, the Pincio and the garden. A connecting Deluxe Room can extend the arrangement.
At Le Jardin, Fulvio Pierangelini's cooking draws on Italian and Mediterranean traditions. Roman flavors have a place alongside simpler combinations: cacio e pepe, tomato and basil pasta, and lamb with chicory illustrate the approach. The pleasure lies in recognizable ingredients treated carefully. Breakfast, lunch and dinner make the restaurant useful at different points in a stay. During warmer months, tables in the Secret Garden are part of the attraction; the indoor dining room gives the restaurant a more sheltered setting when eating outside is less appealing.
Stravinskij Bar brings a social purpose to the garden. Named for the composer, it serves cocktails and Italian food through the day, with aperitivo a natural reason to stop before dinner. You need not plan a full restaurant meal to spend an evening here: drinks and something light allow for a less structured return from sightseeing. Its character comes from the garden surroundings as much as the drinks list.
Aquazzura Bar pairs tequila and mezcal with Italian aperitif traditions. Citrus flavors run through the cocktails, while small dishes by Fulvio Pierangelini keep food part of the occasion. The fashion house's Secret Garden tableware gives the presentation a recognizable identity.
The Irene Forte Spa has five treatment rooms, including two double rooms, alongside a saltwater hydropool, sauna, steam room and relaxation lounge. A Technogym-equipped gym accommodates exercise between city outings. Treatments use Irene Forte Skincare, whose ingredients include produce from the organic farm at Verdura Resort in Sicily. Muted colors, natural textures and soft lighting keep the interiors restrained. The Forte Vita Bar adds shorter facials, hair services and nail appointments, useful when there is time for a small appointment rather than a longer spa visit. This is a city wellness space, with treatments and hydrotherapy central to its appeal.
Family arrangements extend beyond larger rooms. Cribs and baby equipment can be requested, including bottle warmers, sterilizers, highchairs and baby bathtubs. Older children have child-sized robes, with storybooks, games and games consoles available on request. Children's menus and a dedicated breakfast corner at Le Jardin make meals easier to organize. The concierge can suggest outings for teenagers as well. These are practical provisions for a shared city stay; parents should arrange the equipment they need in advance rather than assume it will already be in the room.
Via Condotti's boutiques and Via Margutta's galleries give the neighborhood interest beyond its monuments. The Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo are obvious starting points, while the Trevi Fountain and Pantheon can shape a longer walk through the center. For a change of subject, MAXXI offers contemporary art and architecture beyond the immediate neighborhood. The concierge can arrange private guides for major sights or help plan a more focused exploration, such as a food-led visit to Testaccio. Repeat visitors have good reason to leave gaps between reservations and follow the smaller streets.
The address is Via del Babuino 9. Allow approximately 45 minutes by road from Fiumicino Airport, 30 minutes from Ciampino and 15 minutes from Roma Termini, depending on traffic. Flaminio and Spagna are the nearby metro stations. Airport and station transfers can be arranged, and valet parking is available. In-room dining operates around the clock; laundry, pressing, and packing or unpacking assistance are also available. These services are particularly useful on a longer itinerary, when Rome is one stop between several destinations.
The Secret Garden's terraces, orange trees and small waterfall give you somewhere to stroll among greenery after exploring Rome's streets.
Le Jardin serves Roman dishes including tonnarelli cacio e pepe, giving you a way to try the city's pasta traditions at the hotel.
Babysitting is available around the clock on request for an additional charge, allowing parents to arrange childcare around early departures or late returns.
