For dinner in the garden, the kitchen focuses heavily on elevated Roman classics made with regional ingredients. I tried the signature cacio e pepe ravioli, which was light yet precise in flavor, followed by sea bass served with local herbs. Adjacent to the garden is the Stravinskij Bar, a popular gathering spot for both hotel guests and Roman locals. Led by Bar Manager Mattia Capezzuoli with signature creations from mixologist Salvatore Calabrese, the bar serves well-crafted cocktails alongside light bites. Sit outside near Piazzetta Valadier under the heated lamps during cooler evenings to enjoy the atmosphere. Amenities & Wellness The heart of the property is its Valadier-designed Secret Garden. I spent several afternoons sitting by the stone basins and water features. The terraced layout creates small private nooks surrounded by pine trees, citrus plants, and climbing vines, making it easy to forget you are in the middle of a capital city. Indoor wellness revolves around the Irene Forte Spa, a 6,458-square-foot (600 m²) facility located on the lower level. The wellness space includes a hydromassage pool with thermal water features, a Finnish sauna and steam room, private treatment rooms utilizing Mediterranean botanical products, and a fully equipped fitness center with Technogym equipment. Don’t miss the thermal pool after a long day of walking around the city. It was an ideal place to relax and recover. The spa cabins and changing rooms were recently updated, with a full renovation of the wet areas planned in the coming years. Experiences The hotel excels at organizing private cultural access through its concierge team, particularly for guests staying in the top-tier Forte Suites.
