Opened in the early 19th century, this historic Roman hotel from the Rocco Forte Hotels collection was named de Russie for a reason – for many years it has attracted bohemians and celebrities from all over the world, including famous Russian figures.

Members of the Russian imperial family and the royal court stayed here. The hotel hosted Diaghilev’s ballet company during the Russian Seasons tour and Igor Stravinsky, after whom the bar is named.

In 2023, the hotel presented an updated design of the Nijinsky Suite, named after the great dancer Nezhinsky. Olga Polizzi, Design Director of Rocco Forte Hotels, has traditionally been responsible for the design.

“Nijinsky is a true embodiment of an aristocratic Roman residence: original statues adorning the entrance to the suite, wallpaper depicting an Italian garden, terracotta cabochon floors, art objects from the era of the celebrated Roman architect Giuseppe Valadier, a collection of plates from the 19th century – all this establishes an invisible link between the space, the building itself and Rome,” Olga says about the suite’s interior.

The redesign of the interiors of the Nijinsky Suite was the culmination of three years of modernization work at the hotel, during which the spaces of Valadier’s secret garden, Le Jardin restaurant with walls painted by the artist Gio Bressana, Stravinsky bar, reception area, rooms and suites of the Hotel de Russie were completely renovated.
