Rocco Forte Hotels poursuit ses investissements dans ses établissements italiens.

À Florence, l’Hotel Savoy a achevé une rénovation complète menée sur trois ans, avec un investissement de plus de 9 millions d’euros.

À Rome, l’Hotel de Russie vient de finaliser la dernière phase de sa rénovation, consacrée notamment à ses espaces d’accueil et de réception.

Les deux projets ont été pilotés par Olga Polizzi, directrice du design de Rocco Forte Hotels, en collaboration avec le Studio Ferrari à Florence et le Studio Moschino à Rome.


9 million euros invested in Florence

Located on the Piazza della Repubblica, the Savoy Hotel reimagined its interiors around local materials and craftsmanship: Arabescato marble, stone, wood, bespoke parquet floors and textiles.

The 46 rooms and suites affected by the renovation have been redesigned with more flexible layouts, notably to accommodate families and groups.

The project also extends to the dining spaces. The Irene restaurant reopens with a new décor and a Tuscan cuisine offering imagined by Fulvio Pierangelini.

A new bar, Artemisia, completes the offering with a cocktail menu created by Salvatore Calabrese in collaboration with Federico Pavan.

The hotel also strengthens its local experiences with the Suite & Beyond program, which notably includes private tours of Palazzo Strozzi, calligraphy classes, and visits to Florentine leather workshops.


In Rome, a renovation centered on the guest experience

At the Hotel de Russie, the renovation focuses primarily on the arrival and reception areas. The new layout now distinguishes three zones: the entrance, the front desk, and the concierge, with a conversation space.

More than 90% of the furniture and finishes have been custom-made with Italian artisans and manufacturers. The project combines walnut woodwork, contemporary materials, and historic pieces.

Through these two renovations, Rocco Forte Hotels aims to strengthen the local identity of its properties while modernizing the experience offered to its upscale clientele.

NH Hotels & Resorts Renovates Two Strategic Hotels in Paris

The NH Hotels & Resorts group continues to expand in the French capital.

Its parent company, Minor Hotels, announces a complete renovation of two Parisian hotels, located in strategic districts: the NH Paris Gare de l’Est and the NH Paris Opéra Faubourg.

These transformations are part of a move to tailor the offering to international clienteles while highlighting the existing architectural heritage.

Situated respectively near major transport hubs and in the heart of cultural neighborhoods, the two properties illustrate two distinct facets of Paris.

The first emphasizes its immediate proximity to Gare de l’Est and Gare du Nord, while the second is set amid the lively Grands Boulevards and Opéra area.


A New Identity for NH Paris Opéra Faubourg

Located in the 9th arrondissement, the NH Paris Opéra Faubourg has undergone a comprehensive renovation.

Housed in a Haussmannian building dating from the late 19th century, the property now asserts an identity that blends architectural heritage with a contemporary aesthetic, drawing inspiration particularly from the world of ballet.

The hotel offers 101 rooms and suites, some with balconies offering views of the Paris rooftops, and even the Eiffel Tower.

The interiors emphasize a warm atmosphere, with references to fashion and culture of the 1950s and 1960s.

The common areas, including a lobby with a fireplace and a bar, have been redesigned to provide a setting that is both intimate and functional, suitable for leisure stays as well as business travel.


NH Paris Gare de l’Est modernized and Europe‑oriented

Facing the eponymous station, the NH Paris Gare de l’Est has also been completely renovated. The property maintains an identity tied to the railway world, integrated into a contemporary and streamlined design.

The hotel now counts 207 rooms, some with balconies, as well as several renovated public spaces.

The positioning of the property rests largely on its accessibility: located in close proximity to two major international rail hubs, it enables rapid access to numerous destinations in France and in Europe.

The offering also includes five meeting rooms totaling 152 m², intended for hosting professional events. The facilities are complemented by dedicated services (catering, logistical organization, transfers), strengthening the hotel’s appeal to the business clientele.

These properties complete the group’s portfolio in the capital, alongside the NH Collection Paris Ponthieu Champs‑Élysées, which was recently inaugurated.
