Rocco Forte Hotels
PROFILE & PHILOSOPHY
Rocco Forte Hotels is different. Our hotel in Berlin is called Hotel de Rome. Our hotel in Rome is the Hotel de Russie. Each hotel is individual because each city is unique.
Our hotels are landmarks right at the very heart of the city, except for our resort, which is suitably remote. They’re as much a part of each location’s landscape as the Spanish Steps in Rome or St Isaac’s Cathedral in St Petersburg. They’re colourful, characterful buildings with interiors that resonate with the local culture.
While each of our hotels has its own personality, our exacting standards ensure a personal and attentive service that unites them all. As a family who has been in hospitality for four generations, we have a warm-hearted approach that is embraced by our hotels.

MORE ABOUT ROCCO FORTE ORIENTATION
Families R Forte Programme: We understand that parents like to spend time with their children – and we also know that sometimes they need some time to themselves. We understand that every family has its own needs – we help them all make the most of their stay.
Our Families R Forte programme ensures younger guests will be just as pampered as the grown-ups. We welcome children of all ages – our programme is tailored for babies, kids and teens.
Within our hotels there are details that children will love, from our Families R Forte passport, pint-sized bathrobes and cuddly toys for younger ones to spa treatments for teens. Extra beds, cots, high chairs and babysitting can all be provided on request.
Our concierge teams are full of ideas for family activities based on discovering new places and re-visiting old favourites.
We all search for wellbeing. Rocco Forte Spas is born from this desire. All of our spas have Rocco Forte Rituals, Rocco Forte Fitness and Rocco Forte Nourish. Verdura Resort also has Rocco Forte Health, and each spa has strong local accents.
Rocco Forte Rituals inspire the senses: aromas abound whilst our expert therapists pamper you from head to toe. These signature treatments are carried out with our very own product line, Forte Organics. Inspired by products grown at our resort in Sicily, our bio-cosmetics are rich in vitamins and backed by scientific research.
Rocco Forte Fitness is inspired by the Forte family’s commitment to sport. We have an innovative approach to fitness, with the most cutting-edge equipment and professional trainers.
Rocco Forte Nourish ensures that you can eat healthily throughout our hotels. We have special, healthy dishes on our dining menus, created by nutritional experts and using local and seasonal produce. We also have a bespoke nourishing In Room Bar option.
With Rocco Forte Spas, we want you to take home great new habits and leave us looking, feeling and being better.
Each of our restaurants have their own specially curated menus, interior design, theme and style of service – they are unique and tailored to the needs of the city. Lydia Forte and Fulvio Pierangelini are involved in the smallest detail of every restaurant and bar, ensuring that the freshest, most seasonal ingredients, create the most simple and delicious food. Our restaurants and bars that stand alone, separately to the hotels – they are not just for hotel guests, but also spaces where locals celebrate, come for morning coffees and have casual dinners with friends or family.
We also understand the desire for healthy food, which is why we have created the Rocco Forte Nourish menus, mentioned above.
Every Rocco Forte Spa offers Rocco Forte Fitness, an innovative approach to fitness, with the most cutting-edge equipment and professional trainers.
