Once upon a time, on a sunny day at the Hotel de Russie, you might have spotted Pablo Picasso or Jean Cocteau peeling and eating the oranges that they picked in the hotel garden. After a sixty-year hiatus, the Russie has re-emerged and is still a languid spot. While you won't catch today's Picassos and Cocteaus (or models and film stars, more likely) behaving with quite the same hedonism, you might catch them loafing in the lobby library flipping through the International Herald Tribune.
Rome is known as a lively, sometimes frantic place — bumper to bumper traffic and hot, salty scents. But though the Russie is in the city center—across the street from the Spanish Steps and overlooking the Piazza del Popolo—the hotel itself is tranquil. The screeches of mopeds are curiously absent. Service is discreet. Even the furniture is quiet — modern, but unpretentious. Order your wine from room service and sip it slowly from a gigantic glass the size of a fish bowl, or book a treatment at the spa — the only luxury spa in all of Italy. Of course, the best time to stay at the Russie is when the weather is at its nicest — from late spring to early fall. Then, you can breakfast on cornettos and milky espresso on the patio. And in the evenings, drink Prosecco on your terrace (providing you're flush enough to score one) while listening to music drift up from the Piazza below.
The hotel probably got its name, by the way, from Russian luminaries who hid out here — everyone from Igor Stravinsky to the Ballet de Russie and the Romanoffs. Maybe that's also why they designed such an inconspicuous facade when they built it in 1818 (be warned that the Russie is easy to miss). But what's inside the front gate will stun you: 30,000 feet of landscape, as opulent and manicured as a theatrical backdrop with palm trees, yews, climbing roses, Roman ruins, and, in the distance, the Villa Borghese gardens. Good weather providing, it's easy to linger here forever — especially considering that there's a bar serving cocktails and sandwiches. Just try to refrain from picking the oranges.

very helpful staff, excellent location, second mortgage required to eat & drink in the hotel itself, but have at least one meal in the garden area, sheer bliss. Overall the hotel was charming and not overpowering. Lots of good shopping & eateries everywhere. Spa facility was good but the pool area itself was small, perhaps thats why the called it a hydropool?I Disliked
nothing to dislike.2089 user(s) found this review helpful.
Would have expected a little more from such a world class hotel!

Beautiful interior, beautiful room (we had a corner-studio with a veiw to the piazza del popolo) and bathroom. The gardens are lovely, but I was surprised there was no pool (my young niese and nephew also staying at the hotel were diappointed). We were received very professionally and efficiently at the front desk, and the concierge was very helpful making dinner reservations for us. The spa had excellent therapists, and a wonderful saltwater jacuzzi. Excellent location in Rome - with walking distance to many great restaurants and shopping area, and a taxistand right outside the hotel making it easy to get taxis in an otherwise pedestrian-dominated area.I Disliked
The waiters at the outdoor bar were diappointing - forgetting orders, misunderstanding ( we ordered a bottle of wine and three glasses as well as a martini for four people, the waiter came back with four glasses of wine and no bottle or martini), another occasion the waiter did not paying attention when we were trying to ask for the bill - I would have expected more from such a world class hotel! That said, we were compensated for the poor service by receiving a bottle of champagne in our room later that evening. The breakfast buffet lacked typical italian food as parmaham and salami (although maybe not italians have this for breakfast, tourists do...). Ordering breakfast to our room the last day, an order of omelettes was forgotten, and when retrieved, the eggs were cold. The steam room in the spa was so hot that I found it impossible to enter (and I love steamrooms...)2720 user(s) found this review helpful.

When traveling in Europe, I try to always stay at a Tablet Hotel and have never been disappointed. Rome's Hotel Du Russie was no exception. As a women traveling alone, on business, the hotel did an exceptional job and making me feel comfortable.2743 user(s) found this review helpful.
