Rocco Forte Hotel De Rome Berlin

“Impeccable!”

Impeccable! Ownership clearly adheres to the “pay attention to detail” philosophy. From the flowers in the lobby, to the rooms / bathrooms, the thoughtfulness that went into every aspect of the property is evident. The staff was attentive in an easy going, yet professional manner. It is surrounded by gorgeous older buildings, and is a quick walk to the Brandenburg Gate. I’ve already started researching other Rocco Forte properties for my next visit to Europe!

“Kudos to the staff !”

Alright, this will be a somewhat atypical review for what turned out to be an atypical trip. Let’s start with the usuals: the location is fantastic—tucked away just enough to shield you from the busy traffic, yet all the must-see spots are within walking distance.

Alright, this will be a somewhat atypical review for what turned out to be an atypical trip. Let’s start with the usuals: the location is fantastic—tucked away just enough to shield you from the busy traffic, yet all the must-see spots are within walking distance. The building feels grand and spacious, with a somewhat understated interior. As a photographer couple, we particularly loved the photo art in the bar and smoking lounge—be sure to check it out. The temporary photo exhibit on the fall of the Berlin Wall was an unexpected bonus. Speaking of the bar: it has a great atmosphere, but sitting close to the bar itself can get noisy. Whisky lovers (guilty!) should definitely check out the Dalmore collection. The spa, housed in the former bank vault, was clean but small, featuring a sauna and a steam bath. As is often the case in Germany, bath clothing isn’t mandatory. The pool, however, is a must-see—beautifully designed and worth a visit. Our room was very spacious and clean, albeit with a minimalist design. A word of advice: don’t pay extra for the “city view.” We received it as a free upgrade, but apart from a lot of scaffolding, there wasn’t much to see. Breakfast was wonderful, offering a great combination of buffet and menu options. The quality of the sparkling wine was surprisingly good—far better than the usual offerings at breakfast buffets. Now for the unusual part: I woke up on the first morning with abdominal pain unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Long story short: an ambulance ride to the hospital, 11 hours of waiting, and treatment for what turned out to be kidney stones. It was quite an ordeal for my wife as well, but I have to give a HUGE shoutout to the staff at Hotel De Rome. They went above and beyond to help her, checked up on her throughout the day, and even gave me helpful advice upon my return: drink lots of beer to pass the stone! Overall, it was a great stay, and I hope to return to Hotel De Rome under less painful circumstances.
