Wellness, sustainability and design: With the opening of Six Senses Rome, the luxury hotel brand will celebrate its Italian premiere in 2023. The hotel, which will open its doors in the spring on Via del Corso in the historic center, is located in the Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini palace. And it already promises to be one of the best urban hideaways in the Eternal City.

Just a few steps from the Pantheon and the famous Trevi Fountain, you'll find the Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini. The history of the house, named after the owner families, dates back to the 15th century. Six Senses has restored and carefully renovated the building. Design icon Patricia Urquiola was brought in for the interior, who has imbued the historic walls with contemporary flair.
