Scott Dunn Choice Perks
Concious Cuisine experiences, exclusively for Scott Dunn guests — perch above the Spanish Steps at Cielo Rooftop Bar for panoramic views best savoured at sunset over an aperitif, or settle into Julep Herbal & Vermouth Bar for an intimate evening of inventive house infusions and individual concoctions. The choice is yours, both are included exclusively when you book with us.
The benefit of our Rocco Forte partnership — our preferred relationship with Rocco Forte properties means preferred rooms, added-value amenities, and priority access during peak periods when the hotel sells out quickly.
Hotel de la Ville is located in the historical heart of Rome, overlooking the Spanish Steps and the rooftops of the city. Behind the elegant 18th-century façade, contemporary style has been beautifully combined with details inspired by the Grand Tour to create a sumptuous and sophisticated design.
