Hotel de Russie, a Rocco Forte Hotel

Via del Babuino 9 sits at the base of the Pincio, a five-minute walk from the Spanish Steps and the designer boutiques of Via Condotti.

This address makes the hotel a better choice for those who value proximity to the historic centre without the immediate noise of the Piazza di Spagna. While many visitors aim for the hotels directly facing the square, staying here offers a buffer that the rest of the neighborhood lacks. You are close enough to walk to the high-fashion district in five minutes or reach the Villa Borghese Gardens in fifteen, yet the property manages a shift in volume that is rare for this part of Rome. It is dressier than the typical tourist-heavy options nearby, favoring a quiet pace that makes the bustle of the city feel like a choice rather than an imposition.
