Rocco Forte Hotel De Russie

We stayed at Rocco Forte Hotel De Russie and were absolutely blown away by the beautiful, peaceful atmosphere right in the heart of Rome. The gardens, breakfast gazebo, restaurants—everything is stunningly elegant. Breakfast was exceptional; we lingered for ages, perfectly attended to by Mario and Antônio, who seemed to know exactly what we wanted before we even asked. One small suggestion: adding a hot egg slicer would be such a simple yet practical upgrade. Every staff member we met—from the front desk and concierge to Diego at the bar and the housekeeping team—was incredibly kind, professional, and full of warmth. The level of service is truly remarkable. From the moment we arrived until we left, every detail felt thoughtfully curated. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience. We’re already planning our return visit.

InterContinental Rome Ambasciatori Palace

My three-day stay at the InterContinental Rome Ambasciatori Palace was absolutely unforgettable. Every afternoon, I'd unwind on the balcony with a cup of Da Hong Pao tea, watching the lively street scene unfold below—pure relaxation. What truly stood out was the warm hospitality from the team. The restaurant manager and a server from Bangladesh, who studied undergrad in Hunan Institute of Technology, were not only fluent in Chinese but also genuinely kind and attentive. There was also a lovely front desk attendant who had studied in Suzhou—her cheerful demeanor made every interaction feel personal. It wasn't just about language skills; it was their sincere warmth that made me feel right at home. The location is excellent—steps away from major attractions and easily accessible by metro. This hotel blends luxury, comfort, and heartfelt service seamlessly. If you're visiting Rome, this is a must-try for an authentic, memorable experience.
