Review: Rocco Forte Hotel de Rome Berlin

Much like the city where it’s based, the past mingles with the present at the luxurious Rocco Forte Hotel de Rome Berlin. As the one-time headquarters of the Dresdner Bank, the Hotel de Rome was designed to incorporate pieces from the building’s past, including a striking 15 cm thick steel door in the spa.

De Rome Spa

Located on the lower level, De Rome Spa was once a vault for jewels and gold. Today, it is sanctuary designed for relaxation with six treatment rooms, a 20 m indoor pool, sauna, steam room and work-out area.

Dining

The contemporary La Banca bar and Italian restaurant, named in honour of the building’s past, is the heart of the Rocco Forte Hotel de Rome Berlin. Here guests gather in the welcoming space for breakfast, lunch or dinner served on handcrafted porcelain selected to match La Banc’s design scheme. In warmer months, meals can be enjoyed in a flower-filled courtyard.

For an unforgettable experience, visit the stunning Rooftop Terrace for a snack, drink and one of the best views of Berlin.

Location

Overlooking the Bebelplatz, in the central Mitte District, the Rocco Forte Hotel de Rome Berlin is close to many historical sights including Checkpoint Charlie, Museum Island, the Berlin Wall Memorial, Brandenburg Gate, and the Jewish Museum.

For some serious shopping, it is a short stroll from the hotel to the designer shops along Friedrichstrasse, Galleries Lafayette French department store, and the irresistible Ritter Sport Colourful Chocoworld.

Rooms and Suites

Choose from one of 108 rooms and 37 suites to suit your taste and budget. All guest accommodation includes bathroom amenities from family-owned and operated Malin + Goetz, plush Rocco Forte Hotels bathrobes and slippers, and complimentary WiFi.

I recently spent five nights in a Deluxe Room at the Rocco Forte Hotel de Rome Berlin and could have easily extended my stay – it is an excellent hotel.
