Rocco Forte Hotels

A small European luxury group whose hotels feel personally run and locally grounded.

Sir Rocco Forte founded the group in 1996 after the Forte family hotel business was sold. Together with design director Olga Polizzi, he has built a collection of European city icons and Mediterranean resorts that preserve the identity of the building and place. Rome is the emotional centre, but the portfolio extends to Florence, Palermo, London, Edinburgh, Brussels, Berlin, Munich, Madrid, Milan, Jeddah, and Sicily. Service is polished and personal, with restaurants, spas, and local design treated as core hotel infrastructure.
