There is something about being surrounded by centuries of history that allows your imagination to run wild. Close your eyes and you can practically hear hooves pounding cobblestoned streets as you retrace the footsteps of those that came before; those that stood where you now stand, marvelling at the same monuments, frescos and façades that, then brand-new, still carry weight today.
Located within the historic centre of Rome was Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini, a 15th-century residence with a magnificent façade and equally awe-inspiring carrara marble staircase. Now, centuries later, the façade and marble staircase still stand, restored, within the Six Senses Rome. Six Senses took over – and transformed – the palazzo, swinging open its doors to guests in 2023. However, as steeped in history as the hotel is, the interiors adapt a lightness that complements its heritage with a modern touch. Pastels, contemporary silhouettes, comforting textures and a marriage of materials – brick, tambour panelling, travertine limestone – flow throughout each of the 96 guest rooms and suites.
One of the most spectacular suites on the property is the Lata Suite. The suite includes a living room, fully-equipped kitchenette, dining space and two bedrooms all dotted with vintage furniture, chandeliers and unique artworks. The show-stopper, though, is the terrace. Sun-drenched by day and proposal-worthy by night, the terrace overlooks the façade of San Marcello al Corso Church and boasts multiple seating areas between mediterranean foliage. The Lata Suite is also the only suite at Six Senses Rome with a dedicated service entrance, ensuring the utmost seclusion and encouraging guests to make the most of private dining experiences away from prying eyes. Should you wish to venture out, the NOTOS Rooftop offers a Mediterranean menu with Southern-Italian influences and panoramic views of the Eternal City.
The Ancient Roman way of life was the foundation for spas as we know them today, and the Six Senses Spa more than honours its origins. The Six Senses Rome has offerings for every ailment, whether you’re feeling brave enough to take on the Roman bath-inspired plunge pools; wish to learn about the power of traditional herbs, plants and natural ingredients at the Alchemy Bar; or keep-up with your pilates routine.
Make the most of being in the centre of historic Rome with curated experiences that allow up-close access to some of the city’s most magnificent sights: explore the San Marcello Al Corso Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; discover the works of Chiaroscuro Caravaggio (and try your hand at painting your own masterpiece) and explore the secret ancient settlement beneath the Trevi Fountain.
In a city where history and heritage are preserved and adored, whether monuments or Nonna’s beloved recipes, protecting its legacy is of the utmost importance. This includes efforts to protect our planet, and Six Senses is known the world over for its commitment to sustainable practices. In Rome, the property uses sustainable furniture, a 100 per cent renewable energy grid and pesticide-free ingredients courtesy of organic herb and vegetable gardens.
The Eternal City was nicknamed as such because of the belief that its power, vibrancy and legacy would endure throughout the ages. In 2026, Rome remains one of the most popular travel destinations in the world and, with heritage and luxury at its core, Six Senses Rome harnesses its very best into an unforgettable stay. Book now
