The hype
Guests universally adore the pool and the sub-tropical gardens, often calling it an 'oasis' in the city.
Royal San Remo
$280-550/ nuit
Réservez si You want the definitive 'Grand Dame' experience of the Italian Riviera—old-world glamour, white-glove service, and a heated saltwater pool that feels like a movie set.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- The Gio Ponti-designed heated saltwater pool (27°C/82°F) is an architectural gem
- Prime location: walking distance to the Casino and the famous 24km coastal bike path
- Impeccable old-school service where staff remember your name and drink order
En bref : It’s a glorious time capsule of 19th-century luxury, which means you get crystal chandeliers and stunning gardens, but also actual keys instead of keycards and a dress code for dinner.
Évalué par @fernandapaulaandrade : I felt like absolute royalty staying in this suite. The private terrace with that jacuzzi was my favorite spot to watch the sunset over the Riviera. Truly an unforgettable escape.

5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The keys are heavy, actual metal keys with large fobs—you leave them at the desk when you go out.
💡The 'Hill View' is a polite way of saying 'Street View'—you will hear Vespas.
💡The pool was designed by Gio Ponti in 1948 and is considered a masterpiece of mid-century design.
💡Room service uses a mobile app, which is a surprising modern touch for such a classic hotel.
💡The carpet in the hallways is intentionally thick to dampen sound, but it can make rolling heavy luggage a workout.
