HOTEL S DIREC TORY

www.roccofortehotels.com

Welcome to Rocco Forte Hotels. Each of our properties has a personality in its own right, reflective of their destination. My sister, Olga Polizzi, has created a contemporary feel in each hotel, expertly using local materials and cultural references to achieve this. All are landmarks, both old and new, occupying magnificent buildings in great locations. Architecture, of course, is only half of what makes our properties so special. No one knows the cities and their surrounding areas quite as we do. We believe luxury should be simple and straightforward, and we strive constantly to achieve the highest levels of service, expertise and attention to detail so our guests are ensured a truly memorable experience. We call this ‘The Art of Simple Luxury’.

Sir Rocco Forte Chairman and CEO

Design is an integral part of a hotel, and a key element in the overall experience.

I believe in comfort and simplicity, but I also want our guests to be intrigued by something a little unusual or surprising. Each of our hotels has its own identity, inspired by its location and the style of the building. I hope that, in emphasising high-quality craftsmanship and attention to all the details that really matter, we have created environments that are not only practical and welcoming but also simply luxurious.

Olga Polizzi Deputy Chairman and Director of Design

ROCCO FORTE HOTELS is a collection of unique city hotels located in exciting cultural destinations, together with a state-of-the-art golf and spa resort on the south-west coast of Sicily.

Since 1996, Sir Rocco Forte has set out to create luxurious and truly memorable experiences for guests, with beautiful surroundings, attentive service and care for detail. Guests expect the best in all of these, and they will find it at Rocco Forte Hotels.

Rocco Forte Hotels believes in delivering ‘The Art of Simple Luxury’: a definition of luxury based on comfort, elegance and practicality. This is reflected throughout the properties – in the lobbies, the rooms, the award-winning restaurants, stylish bars and the peaceful spas. Our teams share a strong belief in the importance of caring for guests through immaculate service.

These are the qualities which connect the hotels. Yet each of the properties has a different personality from the next: each reflects and is inspired by its location, so that guests will always wake up knowing where in the world they have landed.
