Six Senses Rome

Rome, Italy

Rome may not have been built in a day, but you’ll need a few days to get a feel for this majestic metropolis. And where better to stay than in the beating heart of the Eternal City at Six Senses Rome? The hotel is set in the former 15th-century Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini, and much care and attention has gone into ensuring that it retains a sense of its heritage – think cocciopesto on the walls, oodles of Travertine stone, a monumental marble staircase (the Romans loved marble) and 600-year-old columns in the main entrance. And yet, as a five-star should, it offers every mod-con across the dozen different room categories, some facing the Via del Corso and the restored San Marcello al Corso Church, others with quietly elegant views of the inner courtyard. The spa is superlative in its serenity, complete with a Roman bathing circuit, a modern-day spin on the calidarium, tepidarium and frigidarium. Dining at restaurant-café-bar BIVIUM reflects local flavours and ingredients, while rooftop NOTOS is for starlit aperitivo and plotting the next day’s sightseeing. The Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and colosseum are on the doorstep or sign up for one of the experiences, from ‘Vatican Secrets at Dawn or Dusk’ to following in Caravaggio’s footsteps. When in Rome…
