Tucked away in one of Rome’s most aristocratic and charming neighbourhoods, in the Regola Rione between Via Giulia and Corso Vittorio Emanuele, a new concept of luxury hospitality has opened. Dedicated to demanding and expert travelers, it offers an innovative focus on the world of fine wines.

Guests can be guided through a memorable itinerary, from the first welcome aperitif to private wine tastings, meetings with wine producers and even private tours, to discover the best cellars and vineyards on the territory.
The idea was conceived by Hotel De’ Ricci’s owner Lorenzo Lisi, also Manager of the historic restaurant of the Pierluigi family at Piazza de’ Ricci, famous and admired reference in the Capital: “I wanted to integrate my experience in food and beverages in a project of hôtellerie,” explained Lisi “seeking to combine that passion for wine and fine living that is experienced at Pierluigi Restaurant. Everyday I live Rome in
its most international dimensions, and I realized that there was a need to transfer the lustre and Italian charm, with a bit of a nostalgic decor, to this new concept, together with an immaculate service, excellent wine cellar and a bar in which clients can enjoy themselves in a private space”.
Competent, customized care is the key behind the philosophy of Hotel De’ Ricci: breakfast is served in the privacy of the Guest’s Suite or on its terrace, the in-Suite wine cellar is personalized according to the Guest’s desires.
In addition, on the ground floor of this All-Suite Hotel, Guests can gain access to Charade, a bar inspired by the concept of the exclusive Gentlemen’s Club of the past.
