HOTEL S DIREC TORY
www.roccofortehotels.com
Welcome to Rocco Forte Hotels. Each
of our properties has a personality
in its own right, reflective of their
destination. My sister, Olga Polizzi, has
created a contemporary feel in each
hotel, expertly using local materials
and cultural references to achieve
this. All are landmarks, both old and
new, occupying magnificent buildings
in great locations. Architecture, of
course, is only half of what makes our
properties so special. No one knows
the cities and their surrounding areas
quite as we do. We believe luxury
should be simple and straightforward,
and we strive constantly to achieve
the highest levels of service, expertise
and attention to detail so our guests
are ensured a truly memorable
experience. We call this ‘The Art of
Simple Luxury’.
Sir Rocco Forte
Chairman and CEO
Design is an integral part of a hotel, and
a key element in the overall experience.
I believe in comfort and simplicity, but I
also want our guests to be intrigued
by something a little unusual or
surprising. Each of our hotels has its
own identity, inspired by its location
and the style of the building. I hope
that, in emphasising high-quality
craftsmanship and attention to all
the details that really matter, we have
created environments that are not
only practical and welcoming but also
simply luxurious.
Olga Polizzi
Deputy Chairman and
Director of Design
ROCCO FORTE
HOTELS
is a collection of unique city hotels located in exciting cultural
destinations, together with a state-of-the-art golf and spa
resort on the south-west coast of Sicily.
Since 1996, Sir Rocco Forte has set out to create luxurious
and truly memorable experiences for guests, with beautiful
surroundings, attentive service and care for detail. Guests
expect the best in all of these, and they will find it at Rocco
Forte Hotels.
Rocco Forte Hotels believes in delivering ‘The Art of Simple
Luxury’: a definition of luxury based on comfort, elegance and
practicality. This is reflected throughout the properties – in the
lobbies, the rooms, the award-winning restaurants, stylish bars
and the peaceful spas. Our teams share a strong belief in the
importance of caring for guests through immaculate service.
These are the qualities which connect the hotels. Yet each of
the properties has a different personality from the next: each
reflects and is inspired by its location, so that guests will always
wake up knowing where in the world they have landed.

KEEPING IT
IN THE
FAMILY
Rocco Forte Hotels understands that parents
like to spend time off with their children. Family
groups have many differing requirements and
need to be entertained; occasionally, parents will
welcome some quality time for themselves, too.
All Rocco Forte Hotels find fun and practical
ways to help families make the most of their stay.
The concierge teams are full of ideas for family
activities based on discovering new places and
re-visiting old favourites. Within the hotels there
are details in the rooms that children will love,
from pint-sized bathrobes and cuddly toys for
younger ones to DVDs and computer games for
teens. Children can order from their own special
dining menus, and some properties have special
children’s meal times in the restaurants. Extra
beds, cots, high chairs and babysitting can all be
provided on request. From personalised checkin cards and welcome treats at Brown’s Hotel in
London, to dedicated clubs and sports programmes
for children at the award-winning Verdura Golf &
Spa Resort in Sicily, Rocco Forte Hotels welcomes
and caters for families of all ages.
For details about family programmes please visit
www.roccofortehotels.com
CONFERENCES
AND
MEETINGS
Small high-level meetings, full-scale conferences, incentives and creative
sessions can all be accommodated at Rocco Forte Hotels. The properties
benefit from excellent locations, with convenient connections to major
airports and stations, business support services and dedicated teams who
understand the importance of flexibility and attention to detail. Meeting
areas are designed to benefit from as much natural light as possible and
equipped with the latest audio-visual technology. Breakfasts, lunches,
afternoon teas, dinners or simply imaginative snacks can be provided at
times that work around the rhythm of the meetings. Everyone can be
comfortably accommodated over several nights; and beyond the hotels,
there is cultural inspiration to be found, in bustling city centres or
among the ancient ruins and blue skies of Sicily.
