Six Senses Rome opens its doors in the historical Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini on March 16. This milestone also marks the completed renovation of the magnificent façade of the adjacent San Marcello al Corso Church, the first sustainability project sponsored by the hotel. “After almost three decades away from my hometown, it is a joy to be back to lead such an incredible project,” says Francesca Tozzi, General Manager of Six Senses Rome.
Roman hints throughout
The hotel has 96 guest rooms and suites, with some featuring the iconic Triclinium-style marble seating on their terraces. With a selection of 12 accommodation categories, including three individually designed signature suites, the many options include secluded rooms with courtyard views and suites facing the bustling Via del Corso and neighboring San Marcello al Corso Church.
Besides the Roman Empire-inspired five-course tasting menu, the dishes include plant-based, meat, fish, and sweet classics with Sicilian touches to honour the Executive Chef’s home favourites.
History and sustainability
The Palazzo housing at Six Senses Rome has a unique monumental marble staircase with its decorative skylight to the newly restored 600-year-old columns in the main entrance. The large baptismal bath dating back to the fourth century was uncovered during archaeological excavations at the beginning of the 1900s and is now visible beneath the glass floor tiles within BIVIUM Restaurant-Café-Bar, the spot where all paths cross.
This sustainable project is designed by architect Patricia Urquiola. Guests can learn more about the hotel’s sustainability efforts in the dedicated Earth Lab while building their knowledge through interactive talks and hands-on workshops.
