Your Perfect Place to Stay: Rocco Forte
Rocco Forte hotels are the epitome of European luxury. This ultra-luxe hotel group has hotels in spectacular cities like London and Rome – from Sicily to Florence, Berlin to Edinburgh – and each Rocco Forte Hotel is as distinct and special as the city it calls home.
The family-owned firm has a century-long history of hospitality. Sir Rocco Forte’s grandfather founded his first café, the Savoy, in Fife, Scotland, in 1911. After, the following generation of the Forte family quickly followed suit. Their primary idea is to treat visitors as individuals, which is quite evident today. This is best summarized by their motto: “Something different. Something exceptional. Something unique.”
This month, we have been sharing some of our favorite hotel groups. Our personal favorite properties, and, of course, the special perks and benefits our clients receive when booking directly with us. Let us introduce you to Rocco Forte – your perfect place to stay.
