The Rocco Forte Suite Experience is not available to Junior Suite guests or upgrades.

DELUXE SUITE Our Deluxe Suites overlook the historic cobbled streets and the Town Hall. The suite opens onto a small reception area with a guest powder room and cloakroom. It leads towards a spacious sitting room with a lounge area and work desk.

Amigo is a curious name, given the hotel’s history. The city council bought the building in 1522 and turned it into a prison. The Spanish rulers mistook its Flemish name vrunt to mean vriend, or amigo. The locals seem to have enjoyed this irony, because the name stuck. The hotel was built on this site in 1957.

The bedroom is furnished with a king-sized bed, chest of drawers and armchair. A spacious dressing room leads to a large marble bathroom with a separate bath and shower.

Hotel Amigo is just around the corner from the Grand Place. It’s at the crossroads of the historic Ilot Sacré area and the antiques district of Le Sablon. It’s a mere credit card swipe from the fiercely modern Dansaert shopping district. Hotel Amigo sits where every aspect of Brussels’s culture meets.

Our Deluxe Suites can be connected to a neighbouring room to form a two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite. O n e o f o u r 8 0 – 1 1 2 m 2 O NE T O T W O - B E D R O O M d e l u x e S U I T Es

Brussels is a cultural haven. There are the Magrittes and Rubens. The antiques, furniture and traditional lace. The handmade chocolates, moules-frites and beer. Having seen the traditional, you won’t want to leave without exploring Brussels’s contemporary design and restaurant scene.

A R M A N D B L AT O N R O YA L S U I T E Our Royal Suite is famous for its 60m2 terrace which overlooks the city’s rooftops. Furnished with a dining table and sun loungers, it’s also perfect for entertaining. The Blaton Suite is named in honour of the founder of the original hotel. Paintings from the family’s private collection hang in the dining room. There are wooden floors throughout the suite, a fireplace in the sitting room and a small kitchen off the dining room and entrance hallway. The bedroom has a king-sized bed and two small balconies. The large marble bathroom has a bath tub, separate shower and water closet and there is generous storage space in the walk-in wardrobe.

HISTORICAL RENAISSANCE SUITE The Renaissance Suite was once a bank conference room; the two phone booths that stood outside the entrance have been converted into a walk-in wardrobe on one side, a bathroom on the other. The sitting room is furnished with a large writing desk and a dining table for four. Its walls and ceiling are completely covered by original oak panelling. A concealed wooden door in the bookcase once provided access to the administration department; a secret compartment is located next to the left-hand window and the lever that operates it can still be found in the window area.

A hotel in Berlin called Rome is unusual. Our building was once the historic headquarters of the Dresdner bank, and we took the name from a renowned nineteenth century hotel that was once located on the opposite side of Bebelplatz. The best place to take in the patchwork history of Berlin is from our rooftop terrace, with its views over the city. We’re next to the Opera House and a short walk from Museum Island. Berlin’s history even exists within the fabric of our building – the bank’s old jewel vault is now our 20-metre pool.

The spacious bathroom has a walk-in shower, separate bath, separate lavatory, under-floor heating and an individually adjustable loudspeaker system.

You’ll come to Berlin for the vibrant arts scene. You may come for the notorious nightlife. You might be here for the monuments to history, such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, or the last remnants of the Berlin Wall. At Hotel de Rome, we put it all together in new and imaginative ways.

It has 3.2m-high ceilings, hardwood floors, a video access monitoring system, bulletproof glazing and a 25m-wide balcony overlooking Bebelplatz. The suite opens onto a study area. The sitting room is decorated with contemporary and antique furniture; it has a virtual surround sound system and a library with over a thousand books. There’s a walk-in wardrobe, a marble bathroom with a beautiful mosaic over the stand-alone bath and a separate guest shower room. A kitchenette with a service entrance off the dining room also makes the suite perfect for dinners or meetings.

EXECUTIVE SUITE Our Executive Suites have views of the surrounding neighbourhood. The sitting room has a dining area, lounge and a guest powder room. The bedroom is furnished with a king-sized bed which can be twinned. The glass and mosaic bathroom have heated floors and a separate walk-in shower.

Villa Kennedy blends art and science rather well. Stellar figures of the European arts and science scenes – including Richard Strauss and Hugo Becker – were friends of the Speyer family, the original owners of the historic villa at the centre of this hotel.

One of our executive suites interconnects with a neighbouring room to form a two-bedroom suite.

You might know Frankfurt as the powerhouse of European finance, but it’s rich in culture, too. Museums flank the Main River. World-class opera pierces the air and theatre is everywhere.

Villa Kennedy is a short stroll from Museum Embankment and the city centre. Built around the carefully restored Villa Speyer, the hotel has a large courtyard garden at its heart where you can eat, drink or unwind. There is also a four-level spa. This is all just a 10-minute drive from Frankfurt Airport – providing the perfect excuse for a relaxing stopover.

GEORG SPEYER PRESIDENTIAL SUITE A private elevator takes you to our Presidential Suite. Designed as a private apartment, it occupies the entire top floor of the historic Villa Speyer and it’s perfect for entertaining.

The dining room has views of the Frankfurt skyline and there’s a separate kitchen with Gaggenau fittings. In the bedroom you’ll find a four-poster bed, generous wardrobes and a dressing room. The large glass bathroom has a rain shower, double wash hand basins and a television at the foot of the bath.

EXECUTIVE SUITES Enjoy panoramic views of Munich from the French balconies of our 12 Executive Suites. These corner suites have a spacious living area, a guest powder room, a dressing area with generous wardrobe space and a circular bedroom area with a chaise longue and a king-sized bed. Bathrooms are finished in Bavarian limestone, with natural daylight and heated floors, a bath with a flat-screen television, separate shower and a water closet.

Designed to reflect the elegant and cosmopolitan Munich backdrop, The Charles Hotel is named after Sir Rocco Forte’s father, the renowned hotelier Lord Charles Forte. Munich’s motto was once “cosmopolitan city with a heart”. That heart beats strongest around the beer gardens, the vibrant bars, the buzzy cafés and the atmospheric restaurants that have always dotted this theatrical city. The stage set comes by way of the Gothic architecture and the Old Town.

Executive Suites can be combined with Superior Deluxe or Deluxe Rooms to form a two-bedroom suite. 7 3 – 1 1 3 m 2 o n e to two - b e d r oom s u it e s

The Charles Hotel is set against the calm backdrop of the Old Botanical Garden. Close to the Alte Pinakothek and the newly restored Lenbachaus, the hotel reflects Munich’s heritage. The works of 19th-century local artist Franz Von Lenbach hang on the walls of the hotel and the porcelain decorations in the bathrooms are from Bavaria’s oldest manufacturer. Against this stage of rich heritage we offer modern comforts too – our rooms are the most spacious in Munich and the indoor pool is the city’s longest.

M onforte R o y al S uite The Monforte Suite is named after the birthplace of Lord Forte.

The suite’s sitting room is decorated with original Franz von Lenbach paintings and a grand piano. There’s also a study, dining room, kitchen and a bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and dressing area. The spacious bathroom is finished in Thassos marble. It has floor-to-ceiling windows, heated floors, a separate lavatory, a free-standing bathtub, a television, two wash hand basins, two walk-in rain showers and a private steam room.

EXECUTIVE SUITE Overlooking Piazza della Repubblica, or the historical centre of Florence, our Executive Suites are designed in a classic contemporary style. They have fine parquet flooring, a separate sitting room, an elegant bedroom with a king-sized bed, generous wardrobe space and a marble and mosaic bathroom. All have been recently refurbished and are decorated with Italian-made fabrics with Florentine patterns and carvings by local craftsmen.

Hotel Savoy is a monument to Florentine elegance. Built on the site of the Mercato Vecchio and the church of San Tommaso, the hotel dates back to 1893. Just like Florence, it’s moved subtly with the times, yet its foundations are embedded in Italian culture and Renaissance style.

Executive Suites can be combined with neighbouring Deluxe Rooms to form a two-bedroom suite; some also have a small balcony overlooking the Piazza.

Images of shoes decorate the walls of Hotel Savoy, a nod to the Florentine tradition of fine fashion and leather craftsmanship. The building seems hewn from the same materials as Florence itself – marble and mosaic, composure and grace.

The main bedroom overlooks the Piazza and has a king-sized bed with Italian silk duvets. The Carrara marble and mosaic bathroom has a bath, separate shower and double wash hand basins.

A Roman hotel named after Russia? When it opened, between 1816 and 1819, the hotel was popular among Russian clients. They liked the mild Roman winters. The Romans called it L’Albergo di Russia. The name became Hotel de Russie when French took off among the aristocracy.

o n e o f o u r 6 5 – 9 5 m 2 o n e to two - b e d r oom e x e c u ti v e s u it e s

Between the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo, Hotel de Russie is in an integral part of Rome. It lives up to its surroundings. The hotel has a softly lit secret garden where you can clink glasses with the cognoscenti. French poet Cocteau described the hotel as “paradise on Earth” when he stayed here in 1917. We’ve made it even better since then. The restaurant’s menu is designed by Fulvio Pierangelini, a celebrated maestro of Italian cuisine. The rooms are calm, the aperitivo welcoming and the designer shops of the Via Condotti just a short walk away.

Verdura Resort takes its name from the original local landowners, the Verdura family. A cousin to the Last Duke of Verdura was Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, author of ‘The Leopard’. You’ll find a Leopard in every room.

There are two outdoor spaces – a private courtyard with seating and a sea-facing double terrace with a dining table, sun loungers and a hammock.

Verdura seems carved out of Sicily itself. The architecture reflects the civilisations that shaped the island. Set on 230 hectares, it has almost 2km of private Mediterranean coastline.

The dancer Isadora Duncan stayed at Hotel Astoria at the start of the 20th century. Rasputin did too and Bulgakov honeymooned there.

The dramatic photographs of the Mariinsky Theatre in the Astoria Café, and the stylish Lichfield nudes in the eponymous bar, place you at the centre of St Petersburg’s mix of old and new. For a century, the hotel has been integral to St Petersburg life. Gazing at St Isaac’s Cathedral from your window, you’ll feel at one with the artists, poets, singers and dancers who have called Hotel Astoria their home. If only walls could talk.

HOTEL ASTORIA TSAR SUITE WITH THREE CONNECTING ROOMS

GRAND SUITES Set in the corners of the hotel, our Grand Suites provide breathtaking views of Arthur’s Seat or Calton Hill. Each suite has a separate sitting area, many feature working fireplaces and four of these suites have turret-style alcoves. Each has a name synonymous with Scotland — Braemar, Stirling, Dunrobin, Tay and JK Rowling. The latter is where the author finished her final Harry Potter book and contains her writing desk with a marble bust of Hermes, the Greek god of travel, signed by Rowling herself. The door knocker is a brass owl in her honour.

The Balmoral is an iconic landmark property. The clock tower is set precisely three minutes fast, so that you don’t miss your train. In fact, the only day the clock is set correctly is Hogmanay. You’ll find The Balmoral at number 1 Princes Street, a landmark building in a historical setting. The hotel merges contemporary styling with elegant tradition like the colours of a fine tartan weave. As much a feature of Edinburgh as the Royal Mile, the hotel is an elegant stop-off between Waverley Station and the exclusive department stores around Princes Street.

Celebrated visitors have been plentiful since Brown’s Hotel, the first hotel in London, opened on Albemarle Street in 1837. It’s been at the centre of London – and London life – ever since.

Deluxe Suites can also connect with Executive and Classic Rooms to form four-bedroom suites with their own entrance area.

Teddy Roosevelt prepared for his wedding day here. Alexander Graham Bell made Britain’s first telephone call from our reception. Rudyard Kipling, Agatha Christie and Winston Churchill ate, slept and wrote here. But don’t worry – today we keep the names of our guests under lock and key. They come here for tradition mixed with modern flair. Just like London.

We know the London less travelled. The fastest speedboat ride on the Thames. The food-tasting ramble through Borough Market. We know the ins and outs of Mayfair, where Brown’s is located. The area is home to Fortnum & Mason, the suits of Savile Row, the shopping of Bond Street and Dover Street and the breathing space of Green Park. Nibble on cucumber sandwiches, or sample Mark Hix’s modern British cuisine surrounded by contemporary British works of art. Brown’s is a slice of London life.

KIPLING SUITE Named after the author Rudyard Kipling who always stayed at Brown’s, the Kipling Suite has been re-imagined by Olga Polizzi to form the largest space available to guests of Brown’s Hotel. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto Mayfair’s Albemarle Street. Contemporary furniture sits alongside traditional pieces, creating an eclectic feel. The 16-squaremetre bathroom is finished in Arabescato white veined marble. It has an oversized bath, walk-in double shower and plenty of natural light. There’s also a nine squaremetre ‘his’ and ‘hers’ walk-in wardrobe.

R OYA L S U I T E Occupying half of the 16th floor, the 597m2 Royal Suite is an expansive space. It has three large bedrooms all with en-suites, a formal reception area, a sitting room, a study, a dining room, a kitchenette and a maid’s room. The spacious master bathroom is finished in marble and has natural daylight. Decorated with bespoke hanging lanterns, silk wall coverings, crackled plaster with gold inlay and original artworks from Saudi Arabian artists, the Royal Suite also has spectacular views of Jeddah and the Red Sea.

Located on the Red Sea, Jeddah is one of the most important commercial and cultural centres in the Middle East. The city’s port has a long history of both trade and tourism. Today, Jeddah is popular with pilgrims, business travellers and holidaymakers alike. Our hotel sits on Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Street, known as Tahlia Street, in the heart of the Central Business and Shopping District, just 20 minutes’ drive from the airport. The hotel interiors come care of the celebrated designers Martin Brudnizki and Olga Polizzi. Inside, you can choose from two distinct concept restaurants, an Italian café, an extensive all-day-dining restaurant or our poolside lounge serving snacks. There’s the Assila Spa to unwind in, as well as remarkable conference facilities.
