Six Senses Rome: 18th-century Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini with BIVIUM Italian, rooftop NOTOS overlooking historic domes, and Roman Baths Spa

Reigning with immortal 18th-century Roman palazzo and UNESCO historic center grand palace architectural nobility in Piazza San Marcello along iconic Via del Corso in Rome, Italy (directly facing the Baroque Church of San Marcello al Corso, just steps from the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and Piazza Venezia, 35 minutes from Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci Airport), Six Senses Rome opened in 2023 within the landmark restored 18th-century Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini as the Eternal City’s premier ultra-luxury wellness and heritage grand palace. Masterfully reimagined by celebrated architect Patricia Urquiola, the 96-room luxury palace combines restored Roman travertine stone, Cocciopesto plaster, and lush suspended greenery. Centered around the acclaimed plant-forward Italian dining institution BIVIUM, the breathtaking rooftop terrace lounge NOTOS with 360-degree views of Roman domes and bell towers, and the palatial Forbes Five-Star Six Senses Spa featuring an authentic Roman Baths hydrothermal circuit (calidarium, tepidarium, frigidarium), this property is Rome’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Roman aristocratic glamour and Piazza San Marcello historic splendour: liveried doormen greet guests beneath Patricia Urquiola’s restored travertine arches on Piazza San Marcello before entering the luminous central galleria with 4th-century Roman baptismal stone basins, cascading plants, and chilled local Lazio sparkling wine or artisanal Roman herbal infusions with warm artisanal cacio e pepe canapés. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Rome cultural, archaeological, and gastronomic pursuits: walking five minutes to toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain or marvel at the ancient dome of the Pantheon (steps away), private after-hours VIP guided tours of the Colosseum and Roman Forum (10 minutes away), private couture shopping along Via dei Condotti (5 minutes away), plunging into the tepidarium and calidarium at the Roman Baths spa, indulging in botanical therapies at the Forbes Five-Star Six Senses Spa, sipping spritzes overlooking Rome’s terracotta rooftops at NOTOS Rooftop, and reserving dinner at BIVIUM.

Palace living balances active Roman exploration with serene Forbes Five-Star Roman Baths wellness: Six Senses Spa features private luxury treatment suites, an authentic modern recreation of ancient Roman Baths (calidarium, tepidarium, frigidarium), bio-saunas, hammams, and therapies utilizing organic Italian botanicals and Seed to Skin skincare. Dining is an extraordinary plant-forward Roman culinary summit: modern Roman gastronomy at BIVIUM by Executive Chef Nadia Frisina (featuring Roman classics, wood-fired Josper grills, and legendary Italian Grand Crus), rooftop drinks and bites at NOTOS Rooftop, and 24-hour in-room royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 96 rooms and luxury executive suites styled by Patricia Urquiola in warm Roman travertine, Cocciopesto plaster, tailored Italian oak, deep freestanding soaking bathtubs, and large French windows or private furnished stone terraces framing Piazza San Marcello or the Church of San Marcello ranging from 32 to 140 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom Six Senses organic botanical amenities.
