Rocco Forte Hotels has reimagined the art of in-suite dining with an offering that blends gastronomy and live performance in a way few luxury experiences can match. The new Musical Room Service transforms the privacy of the brand’s Signature Suites into intimate concert venues, partnering with leading theatres, opera houses, and musicians across Europe to create a truly one-of-a-kind occasion. Guests can now enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner accompanied by a personally curated performance, designed to captivate the senses as much as the cuisine itself.
The concept is as versatile as it is luxurious. A romantic dinner for two in Rome’s Hotel de Russie might be framed by the soaring voice of a soprano accompanied by guitar, while the Blaton Suite at Hotel Amigo in Brussels becomes the setting for a lively jazz session led by Belgian musician Druss Lecomte. At Edinburgh’s Balmoral, the Glamis Suite pairs fine Scottish cuisine with a traditional piping lesson from Reel Time, offering a spirited blend of heritage and hospitality. In Florence, the Presidential Suite of Hotel Savoy hosts the rich tenor of Gonzalo Godoy Sepulveda, his operatic arias unfolding against the city’s Renaissance skyline.
Each property has worked closely with its cultural neighbours to showcase exceptional local talent. At Brown’s Hotel in London, musical curator Sandy Burnett can arrange everything from an all-female electric string quartet to a solo harpist or resident jazz saxophonist Greg Davis, all accompanied by the refined British cuisine of Charlie’s. In Berlin, the Royal Bebel Suite at Hotel de Rome overlooks the Berlin State Opera, whose rising stars from the International Opera Studio will serenade diners as they enjoy creations from CHIARO restaurant. Over in Munich, The Charles Hotel collaborates with the University of Music & Theatre, transforming the Monforte Royal Suite into a stage for the city’s most promising young performers.
Further south, Villa Igiea in Palermo offers a touch of Sicilian romance, inviting musicians from Teatro Massimo to perform the region’s centuries-old serenade tradition, their poetic love songs drifting across the Bay of Palermo. Meanwhile, the terrace suites at Hotel de la Ville in Rome set the scene for a sunset serenade, with the hotel’s musical concierge handpicking performers—from classical violinists to sultry jazz saxophonists—to suit the mood of the evening.
What unites each experience is the meticulous pairing of music, setting, and cuisine. Guests are invited to tailor every element to their preference, whether seeking a soulful soundtrack to a leisurely breakfast or a dramatic performance to accompany a multi-course dinner. The result is a dining occasion elevated beyond taste and presentation—one that lingers in memory not only for the flavours on the plate but for the music in the air.
With the Musical Room Service, Rocco Forte Hotels has created an offering that is both indulgent and deeply personal, a celebration of cultural artistry woven seamlessly into the luxury hospitality experience. It is an invitation to savour not only the finest dishes but also the rare intimacy of a private performance—where the stage is your suite, and the music plays just for you.
