Rocco Forte Hotels Opens Hotel De La Ville, Rome And Masseria Torre Maizza, Puglia To Much Success
Rome,
August 9th 2019 – The month of May saw Rocco
Forte Hotels unveil two more magnificent hotels, Hotel de la Ville in Rome and
Masseria Torre Maizza in Puglia, further strengthening its position as one of
the fastest-growing, family-owned, luxury hotel groups in Italy. In only two
months, both have reached unparalleled success and are already being hailed as
the most magnificent in the country. The two openings complement Rocco Forte’s
already established Italian portfolio of luxury hotels that consist of Hotel de
Russie in Rome, Hotel Savoy in Florence and Verdura Resort in Sicily.
Opening 1 May 2019, Masseria Torre Maizza is located in Pulgia, the
charming region of southern Italy along the Adriatic coast. Following
a significant renovation, Masseria Torre Maizza, once an original farmhouse
dating back to the 16th century, is now a stylish retreat combining
Rocco Forte’s signature Anglo-Italian style of service, warmth and hospitality
with a contemporary, modern design in Italy’s most exciting destination. The
resort now features 40 lavish suites with stunning views of the Apulian countryside,
including the addition of the magnificent two-bedroom Torre Suite, located on
the top floor of the masseria’s original tower. Olga Polizzi, Director of
Design at Rocco Forte Hotels, has worked with local artisans to restore the
masseria by combining local heritage with a contemporary design to create a
sense of modern Italian elegance.
Shortly after the opening of Masseria
Torre Maizza, the highly anticipated Hotel de la Ville opened on 23 May 2019. A
historical 18-century palazzo, the hotel is located in the heart of Rome above
the Spanish Steps with sweeping views of the Eternal City. The 104 well-appointed
rooms and suites are the most elegant and spacious rooms in Rome. Designer
Tommaso Ziffer, alongside Olga Polizzi, has recreated The Grand Tour when
English and German nobles collected pieces of art during their journeys to European
cities in the 18th Century.
Commenting on the openings, Sir Rocco
Forte, CEO and Chairman of Rocco Forte Hotels said: “Masseria Torre Maizza is a
small gem in Puglia which I am particularly proud of, whilst in Rome, Hotel de
la Ville has all the vibrancy and elegance of the extraordinary city. We have
exciting plans to further grow Rocco Forte’s brand presence in Italy with the
opening of Rocco Forte House in Rome this year and Villa Igiea in Palermo in
2020.“
