Weekend in Rome: Six Senses Rome—the elegance of modern classicism
Since 2023, the legendary Via del Corso has been home to a hotel of typically Roman charm and refinement: Six Senses Rome in the former 15th-century Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini.
Contemporary charm near the Trevi Fountain
Here’s a must-visit spot in Rome. Located right in the heart of the historic center, just a short walk from the Pantheon and the equally legendary Trevi Fountain, this 96-room hotel has opted for a modern aesthetic in its design, led by Patricia Urquiola, who has succeeded in creating bright, comfortable spaces that open onto terraces, adding a graphic touch to the venue’s classical charm. While the rooms feature traditional Roman Cocciopesto wall finishes and local limestone, the furniture and sustainable design pieces pay homage to this glorious past in a reimagined form—such as the nightstands that subtly evoke the Roman columns of yesteryear. As night falls, the city’s rooftops are revealed in a new light from the NOTOS Rooftop on the hotel’s top floor—the perfect opportunity to savor an exceptional Spritz while admiring the Church of San Marcello al Corso and the Montecitorio bell tower.
