The hotel is located in the city centre, just a few steps from the Quirinale Palace, and a short walk from The Spanish Steps and The Trevi Fountain.
Renovation of The St. Regis, Rome hotel was led by the distinguished interior design firm Pierre-Yves Rochon in 2015. PYR honoured the proud 125-year legacy of The St. Regis by celebrating imperial details through the sparkling crystals of the Murano chandeliers, intricate mosaics and Venetian mirrors, reminiscent of bygone Roman glory.

Design team at Pierre Yves-Rochon combined the Roman classical spirit with a contemporary ‘’Belle Époque’’ style - resulting in a timeless, oppulent and alluring ambiance. Belle Époque literally translates to 'Beautiful Age' and is referred to the years between 1880 and 1914. In this era of France’s cultural and artistic climate the arts markedly flourished, with numerous masterpieces of literature, music, theatre, and visual art gaining extensive recognition.

The palazzo still maintains some of its original features, the authentic 1894 frescoes by Mario Spinetti has reclaimed its former splendour with the help of meticulous renovation work.

A few pieces from our standard collections have also been used in the luxury suites.
Development of the dining tables were especially challenging, the structure of the table with a tall, central post and heavy marble top raised stability issues. In order not to compromise the design and match the overall finish codes of the rooms, Decca suggested adding an antique brass plate at the bottom to increase the surface in contact with the floor. Counterweights were also added at the base of the table to further improve stability.
One of our favourite pieces we produced at Decca is the Presidential Suite desk made with curved plexiglass, black lacquer and brushed brass, which was challenging in terms of development. However the end result was strikingly unique and modern, creating a beautiful juxtaposition amongst the classical pieces used in the room.
