Hotel de la Ville occupies an 18th century palazzo above the Spanish Steps, with terraces and upper floors looking across Rome's rooftops. Contemporary colour and classical architectural details run through the rooms and public spaces, while the internal courtyard provides a quieter centre to the building. Fulvio Pierangelini oversees the food, including a street level bistro and more formal dining, complemented by a rooftop bar above the city. A Sicilian influenced spa sits below the social spaces, completing the palazzo without interrupting its historic proportions.
