Bar & Restaurant |
|
As with all Rocco Forte hotels, the Hotel de Russie
focuses on delivering good food in a great atmosphere, which attracts
both our hotel guests and the local community, rather than simply
being seen as an extension of the hotel.
The most stunning feature of the hotel is its extensive,
terraced gardens. Our guests will be able to enjoy a gentle stroll
in the gardens or fine alfresco dining in a tranquil oasis amidst
the bustle of central Rome. The restaurant also presents fantastic
opportunities for indoor and open-air receptions.
The gourmet Mediterranean cuisine will delight
our guests. In keeping with our objectives to pick only the best
chefs to work for us, we appointed celebrated Chef Nazzareno Menghini.
He places emphasis on using local produce and the very best Italian
ingredients to produce a sumptuous menu.
The Chef
The charming setting of the 'Secret Garden' is today
the domain of Nazzareno Menghini, Executive Chef of the hotel's
restaurant, Le Jardin du Russie. The restaurant offers a classic
Italian gastronomic experience. Nazzareno's dishes are colourful
and fragrant, inspired by the ingredients and the aromatic smells
of the Mediterranean. His cooking is finely balanced, always using
fresh, Italian seasonal produce. In particular, many of his dishes
include fish. His style, at times surprisingly simple, never loses
sight of the primary ingredient being used but always offering
interesting interpretations of well-known dishes.
Stravinskij Bar
The Stravinskij Bar has an extensive selection of refreshments
and Roman delicacies if you would prefer something lighter.
For lunch, we offer a delicious buffet whereby you can eat in
the sunshine; in the afternoon, traditional tea is served; or
for the evening, why not savour one of our extensive martini cocktails
such as the 'De Russie Martini', served with caviar, whilst enjoying
our live music in the Russie gardens.

Rooms
Hanging on the walls of the rooms there are none of the
usual reproductions of period prints typical of grand hotels
(in Rome as elsewhere), but only 'genuine', signed photography
(in itself a genre made to be reproduced...), with large
colour photographs of flowers by the great photographer
Robert Mapplethorpe. The walls, which are deliberately just
painted, are all in very delicate and restful pastel hues,
as is the upholstery. There are various types of bathroom,
but they are all in marble or marble mosaic. The bathroom
designs range from the classical to the contemporary, but
in all cases the most classical materials are used. Easy
Connect broadband service to the internet is offered from
every guest room.

Health Club with hydropool
Jacuzzi
Sauna

Guest Comments
It is in a very good location and we were treated
very well by all the staff (and were upgraded to a junior
suite which was lovely with a great view of the courtyard).The
bar here is excellent and having a drink in the courtyard
on a warm Rome summer evening is lovely. We will most definitely
stay here again when we are next in Rome.
This hotel could not have been more amazing. The
food was incredible and the
placing of the hotel could not have been better. The rooms
were beautiful and overlooking roof tops and looking down
cool alleyways. The front desk was extremely helpful from
awesome places to elegant restaurants. The hotel was also
clean and the service was great.
A strong local quality. Beyond all
the luxe features common to a five-star hotel, the unique
décor, the outstanding table, and the irrepressible
staff, the Hotel de Russie gives its guests something else
- an omnipresent feeling of being in the Eternal City where
past, present and future merge. That alone can make a stay
unforgettable.

It does not get much better than the Hotel de Russie.'
