Decadent Cuisine
Most travelers touring Rome look forward to indulging in the local cuisine. Hotel De La Ville takes that pleasure seriously.

Cielo Bar is a rooftop terrace bar with a view that is incomparable. Enjoy a menu of small plates that has a sumptuous fusion of Asian dim sum with Italian flavors. And while the bar is a wonderful way to relax after a day of touring the city, at night Cielo Bar comes alive with a DJ and dancing. Lastly, Julep Herbal & Vermouth Bar is a cocktail bar that offers original drinks inspired by the 13th century spice route that once worked its way throughout Europe.

Set to open in July, De La Ville Spa’s menu offers a host of relaxing experiences.
