When we were in Rome, we stayed the whole day outside exploring the city. Least to say, I was pretty much ‘drained’ and exhausted. Good thing that we stayed at the Hotel de Russie because such accommodation was what I exactly needed to recharge and regain the lost energy. Even if I was so tired with all the walks and tours we did for the day, I was still excited to show our massive room! 

Speaking of voice, some people even thought I was drunk while I did the live video. But friends, I was not. I just had few drinks of expensive prosecco and boy, I love every sip of it! It’s funny though because few years ago, I am fine with a beer that will cost me a dollar. Safe to say, this is Kach – levelling up her lifestyle. Don’t get me wrong though, I still love simple things. I can still ride in trains and do odd jobs to survive. But if something fancy comes along (and for free) who am I to decline, right?

And since we are talking about fancy, the Hotel de Russie is considered one of the most elegant and most expensive hotels in Rome. If you want top class, I suggest you choose to book in their property.

This five – star hotel is located between the Spanish Steps and the Piazza del Popolo on the Via del Babuino. You know that you can do so much within the area because the streets are still busy even at night time. That’s actually good because that means you can maximize your stay in Rome.

Spa (The De Russie Wellness Zone)

Apart from having spectacular spa facility, what I like about this is that the wi – fi will not work in the zone. Well, I understand that I am a digital nomad and I should be disappointed. I WAS NOT!

Summary and Tips

What more do you need from Hotel De Russie? Nothing! They have the best location, wonderful staff, and rooms to die for. All you need is just to relax and see what the city has in store for you.

If you want to visit a lot of museums, I suggest that you get a Roma card. That’s going to be more cost efficient.

Our Rome trip marked the 24^th day of our honeymoon adventure and it was divine. I got a bit scared considering that an earthquake was reported hours before we checked in. But then again, who can resist the Hotel Russie? Not even a catastrophe can stop us.
