“Stargazing Suite and Astro-Bed”: the Roman sky becomes a nocturnal stage for guests of the Forte Suites at Rocco Forte Hotels’ Via Sistina address, with a dual debut set for summer 2025.
The “Stargazing Suite” itinerary, developed in collaboration with expert astrophysicists, unveils the mysteries of stars and celestial bodies through the lenses of professional telescopes guiding guests through the exploration of Rome’s sky in a dialogue with the mythological figures who once shaped its stories.
With the “Astro-Bed”, the Roman summer turns into a dreamlike escape, and guests may choose to continue their stellar journey by spending the night on a bed set up on the private terrace of their Forte Suite. A night spent under millions of stars.
