{"type":"city","city":"Italian Riviera","citySlug":"italian-riviera","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/italy/italian-riviera","description":"The Ligurian coast operates on a vertical logic: everything worth having is either perched on a cliff or lapped by water, and the hotels that understand this geography best are the ones that surrender to it rather than fight it. Nowhere is this clearer than Portofino, where the Belmond pair — the hillside Splendido and its harbor-facing satellite, Splendido Mare — occupy what is arguably the most choreographed hotel relationship on the Italian coast. The original Splendido, a former monastery converted into a hotel in the early twentieth century, sits above the village in a garden of umbrella pines, its yellow-ochre facade catching the afternoon light in a way that feels almost theatrical. Splendido Mare, down at the waterfront piazzetta, functions as its more social counterpart — aperitivo tables spilling toward the moored yachts, the whole arrangement suggesting that Portofino was designed as a stage set, not a fishing village. The Eight Hotel Portofino, also in the village, pitches itself at a younger, more design-forward traveler, though it operates at the same financial altitude.\n\nSanta Margherita Ligure, a short drive around the headland, offers a different mood entirely. The Grand Hotel Miramare has anchored the waterfront promenade there since 1903, its Liberty-style architecture — the Italian variant of Art Nouveau — giving it a faded grandeur that feels genuinely earned rather than manufactured. The interiors retain period detailing that more aggressively renovated properties have long since stripped out, and the garden terraces descend toward the sea in a sequence of levels that rewards slow movement. Between Portofino and Santa Margherita, the small bay of Paraggi holds the Eight Hotel Paraggi, whose appeal is almost entirely positional: the beach at Paraggi is one of the few sandy stretches on this otherwise rocky coast, and the hotel's proximity to it explains much of its pricing.\n\nAt the western edge of the Riviera, Sanremo occupies a different cultural register altogether — closer to the French border, more overtly Belle Époque in character, and somewhat removed from the Portofino circuit that drives most international attention. The Royal Hotel San Remo, set in palm-studded grounds with a pool that predates most of the region's contemporary hotel infrastructure, is a period piece in the best sense: a grand nineteenth-century resort hotel that has survived intact enough to make the argument that continuity, sometimes, is its own form of design intelligence.","provider":{"name":"PressBeyond","url":"https://pressbeyond.com","description":"PressBeyond provides AI-optimized hotel content with a consistent 5-image structure across its entire portfolio.

Stone-pine canopies frame the upper floors in the images exactly as they have for more than a century, the building's white mass sitting against the hillside vegetation with an assurance that more recent coastal architecture rarely achieves.\n\nInside, two registers coexist without much friction. The older rooms carry inlaid parquet floors in a geometric checker pattern, Murano glass chandeliers, wrought-iron bedheads with scrollwork detailing, and marble bathrooms with pedestal basins — the full inheritance of Ligurian grand-hotel tradition. Newer accommodation pulls the palette toward warm taupe, introduces plain oak flooring and cove-lit diamond-relief wallcovering, and reads as a calibrated rather than transformative update. The pool terrace is the property's clearest success: a large outdoor pool edged in timber decking and ringed with cream-canopied loungers, palm trees reflected in still water with the Gulf of Tigullio opening beyond. The poolside dining room — floor-to-ceiling glazing, iron café chairs in teal-and-cream stripe — keeps that view in frame from every table across the hotel's 82 rooms.","snippet":"A 1903 Belle Époque landmark on the Italian Riviera with original architectural details and Gulf views.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts and Belle Époque heritage travelers","vibe":"Historic-coastal · Belle Époque","highlights":["1903 Belle Époque facade with wrought-iron balustrades and colonnaded loggia","Original rooms feature Murano chandeliers and geometric parquet floors","Waterfront pool terrace overlooks the Gulf of Tigullio"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$1,309","pricePerNightExclTax":"$1,309","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujf5e03i115ymmmkicwek1713356431496_48bcae3d-2c96-458e-b974-aedb7c70c42c.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Grand Hotel Miramare — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Grand Hotel Miramare · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Grand Hotel Miramare captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujl0y04jt15ymyb9ke2qr1713356432089_bce8c853-2695-4512-abec-80dd98b9b325.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Grand Hotel Miramare — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Grand Hotel Miramare · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Grand Hotel Miramare, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujqsv05lh15ym9kgtxamu1713356430730_a81d2289-da8a-4a03-9475-8637ade5c2a9.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Grand Hotel Miramare — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Grand Hotel Miramare · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Grand Hotel Miramare — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujwr506n915ymwbeg4n1j1713356429621_aaea7dab-c8dd-41cf-b94a-df3ab2eaa434.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Grand Hotel Miramare — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Grand Hotel Miramare · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Grand Hotel Miramare, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk2kw07p115ymyys7d0rt1713356432618_b8e81e22-ead3-4109-8e23-dc2ebb693b07.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Grand Hotel Miramare — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Grand Hotel Miramare · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Grand Hotel Miramare — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/italy/italian-riviera/splendido-mare-a-belmond-hotel","city":"Italian Riviera","cityHeader":"Italian Riviera • Portofino • OVER THE TOP","neighborhood":"Portofino","designSummary":"Pressed against the harbour wall of one of the world's most scrutinised piazzas, where the ochre and terracotta facades of Portofino's fishing village have drawn painters, film stars, and the European aristocracy since the nineteenth century, Splendido Mare A Belmond Hotel claims the most coveted address in the village itself. While its sister property, the original Hotel Splendido, commands the hillside above from a converted monastery, Splendido Mare is embedded within the piazzetta — a position that makes every arriving motorboat and departing yacht part of the daily theatre. The restaurant terrace, canopied in yellow and white stripes and framed by clipped box hedges in terracotta pots, functions less as a dining room than as the finest ringside seat on the Ligurian coast.\n\nThe interiors, refreshed under Belmond's ongoing investment in the property, carry a restrained mid-century Italian domesticity — herringbone and parquet timber floors, barrel-vaulted ceilings with delicate gilt-line detailing, upholstered rattan chairs, and walnut-framed headboards paired with rose and wheat-toned blankets. Murano glass wall sconces and a chandelier of the same provenance illuminate the dark-panelled cocktail bar, its mirrored back shelf and leather barstools giving it the clubbable gravity of a Milanese drinking room transplanted to the sea. Throughout, the palette holds to warm cream and sand, letting the harbour light — and the view — carry the chromatic weight.","snippet":"Harborfront Portofino hotel with mid-century Italian interiors and a restaurant terrace overlooking the piazzetta's daily maritime theatre.","bestFor":"Collectors and aesthetes seeking Mediterranean glamour","vibe":"Coastal-refined · theatrical","highlights":["Harborfront piazzetta location in Portofino's historic fishing village","Mid-century Italian interiors with Murano glass and walnut details","Restaurant terrace overlooking arriving yachts and motorboats"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$2,670","pricePerNightExclTax":"$2,670","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujfbs03jd15ymqztbo4eb1713356445399_0c7d77ac-fee0-443c-b99b-dc42569e1138.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujl8e04l515ym3k5q9c1t1713356446046_82455fa0-7266-4e92-90b2-b15e7fd50571.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujr2005mx15ymdfzjh1k61713356444746_43b64687-8459-4066-9dc5-ad7611d93790.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujwyq06on15ymeu3kzyo31713356443619_cec98f83-c1be-453d-b5c0-0c527f48a0b1.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk2u807qf15ymm7suoewx1713356446739_a96303c3-9aab-43ce-9f2b-5a82453dff10.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Splendido, A Belmond Hotel","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/italy/italian-riviera/splendido-a-belmond-hotel","city":"Italian Riviera","cityHeader":"Italian Riviera • Portofino • OVER THE TOP","neighborhood":"Portofino","designSummary":"Perched on the hillside above Portofino's harbor, a former Benedictine monastery that dates to the sixteenth century was transformed over subsequent centuries into a private villa before becoming, in 1901, the hotel that would define the Ligurian Riviera's particular strain of aristocratic ease. Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, cascades down the terraced hillside in successive levels of salmon-washed stucco, iron-railed balconies dense with bougainvillea and wisteria, the massing less monumental than intimate — a grand house that happens to have grown larger over time. From the open-air restaurant terrace, iron bistro chairs and white-clothed tables frame one of the most recognizable views in Italian hospitality: the wooded promontory and bobbing masts of the harbor below, pinned between maritime pine and the silver-blue Ligurian Sea.\n\nThe interiors move between two registers. In the more recently refreshed suites, walls washed in soft peach carry gilded Baroque headboards and Murano glass chandeliers draped with florals, the effect an unapologetic celebration of Italianate grandeur, daybeds in buttercup-yellow brocade positioned to catch the sea light through French-shuttered doors. In the standard guestrooms, the palette quiets to ivory and sage, Murano fittings scaled back to a single candelabra chandelier, parquet floors grounding the lightness of embroidered floral bed runners and brass wall sconces. The infinity pool, cut into the lower garden terrace, dissolves at its edge into a view of cypress, umbrella pine, and the faint line of the open sea.","snippet":"A 1901 Portofino landmark housed in a sixteenth-century monastery, with terraced gardens and Murano-appointed suites.","bestFor":"Collectors and aesthetes seeking Italian Riviera heritage","vibe":"Aristocratic-romantic · terraced","highlights":["Sixteenth-century monastery converted to hotel in 1901","Terraced gardens with infinity pool overlooking Portofino harbor","Suites with Murano chandeliers and gilded Baroque headboards"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$2,994","pricePerNightExclTax":"$2,994","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujfvv03mz15ym2t2hoprg1713356473314_d8748082-45fc-41ee-9cac-4e5e29ac4f62.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Splendido, A Belmond Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Splendido, A Belmond Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Splendido, A Belmond Hotel captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujlsu04or15yme7mcrqal1713356473936_adcc8753-790c-42aa-9aae-db27930c5646.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Splendido, A Belmond Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Splendido, A Belmond Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujrm605ql15ymi3ibkadc1713356474653_f8906e42-5d20-452e-9c6d-e23b93d12efe.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Splendido, A Belmond Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Splendido, A Belmond Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Splendido, A Belmond Hotel — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujxjq06sf15ymon11o0jn1713356472106_064d26ee-c507-4504-8d09-ad25d9714ae4.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Splendido, A Belmond Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Splendido, A Belmond Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk3f107u915ymn5m5lg331713356475336_5ca03fae-8fb9-4e05-87fb-1c6483e07be7.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Splendido, A Belmond Hotel — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Splendido, A Belmond Hotel · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Splendido, A Belmond Hotel — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Royal Hotel San Remo","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/italy/italian-riviera/royal-hotel-san-remo","city":"Italian Riviera","cityHeader":"Italian Riviera • Sanremo • SPLURGE","neighborhood":"Sanremo","loyaltyProgram":"LHW Leaders Club","designSummary":"Since 1872, a white Belle Époque palace on the Ligurian waterfront has defined what a grand Italian Riviera hotel should look like — five symmetrical stories of ornate rendered facades, green-shuttered French doors opening onto iron balustrades, the whole composition rising from terraced gardens dense with Norfolk Island pines and Canary Island date palms. The Royal Hotel San Remo was built by the Lorenzi family and has remained in private hands ever since, a continuity that explains why the property carries itself with the unhurried confidence of an aristocratic residence rather than a managed asset.\n\nThe interiors hold two distinct registers in productive tension. The original rooms favour herringbone parquet, marquetry writing desks, damask curtains in gold and sage, and Louis XVI-style medallion chairs — the full vocabulary of nineteenth-century grand hotel comfort, handled without apology. A later wing shifts to bleached louvered panels, striped linen armchairs, and a cooler palette of sand and pale blue that lets the Ligurian sunset do the decorative work. The dining room bridges both periods, its coffered ceiling carrying hand-painted botanical frescoes above gold-swagged drapery and white-clothed tables set with crystal. Outside, a seawater pool carved from the natural rock steps down through flagstone terraces to the private beach — one of the most convincing stretches of Italian resort infrastructure anywhere on this coast.","snippet":"A privately-owned 1872 Belle Époque palace on the Ligurian coast with original Louis XVI interiors and a rock-carved seawater pool.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts and Belle Époque history buffs","vibe":"Historic-elegant · unhurried","highlights":["1872 Belle Époque palace with ornate rendered facades and iron balconies","Original rooms feature herringbone parquet, marquetry desks, and Louis XVI chairs","Seawater pool carved from natural rock with private beach access"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$381","pricePerNightExclTax":"$381","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujg1103nx15ymkwiwdioi1713353958248_712b34fe-27f9-4be1-83ee-742601d244a6.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Royal Hotel San Remo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Royal Hotel San Remo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Royal Hotel San Remo captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujly204pr15ymq96quukc1713353959895_f092555b-2c06-4f5f-9f4b-dedd9476562f.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Royal Hotel San Remo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Royal Hotel San Remo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Royal Hotel San Remo, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujrrq05rl15ymnk3jbnmw1713353959082_35e4ba2c-4dac-4fc0-ab7e-c535162ba927.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Royal Hotel San Remo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Royal Hotel San Remo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Royal Hotel San Remo — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujxoy06td15ymje3ipmh11713353957695_77b0e8a6-37ea-4fa1-aa6c-563f9bb62e2d.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Royal Hotel San Remo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Royal Hotel San Remo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Royal Hotel San Remo, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk3kb07v715ymplm1a6fn1713353960507_d90a56ba-6740-44e3-979b-cfc5c5c6de37.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Royal Hotel San Remo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Royal Hotel San Remo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Royal Hotel San Remo — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Eight Hotel Paraggi","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/italy/italian-riviera/eight-hotel-paraggi","city":"Italian Riviera","cityHeader":"Italian Riviera • Paraggi • OVER THE TOP","neighborhood":"Paraggi","designSummary":"Paraggi's tiny protected cove, wedged between Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure along one of the most contested stretches of Ligurian coastline, has for decades drawn the kind of discretion-seeking visitors who prefer their Riviera without the theatre. Eight Hotel Paraggi works with that instinct — a five-storey liberty-style palazzo on the main road through the village paired with a separate beach pavilion right at the waterline, the two structures together forming a property that feels simultaneously inland Italian and completely of the sea. The facade, warm cream stucco with dark shuttered windows and a vintage Fiat 600 parked at the entrance as if it had never moved, carries the unhurried atmosphere of a private residence that simply grew into a hotel.\n\nThe interiors take their cue from the same controlled restraint. Guest rooms in the main building use draped fabric canopies suspended from the ceiling in place of conventional bed surrounds — a theatrical gesture softened by pale oak floors, lacquered millwork in warm taupe, and striped textile accents in dusty red and blue that echo the Ligurian maritime palette. The beach restaurant, its coffered bamboo ceiling and full-width glazing opening directly onto the cove, sets taupe upholstered seating against white marble-topped tables, the Ligurian water doing most of the decorative work. At dusk, rattan lanterns placed among the sunloungers on the private sand mark the point where hotel design gives way entirely to place.","snippet":"A five-storey palazzo with private beach access in Paraggi's protected cove, between Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure.","bestFor":"Travelers seeking understated Italian Riviera elegance","vibe":"Coastal-restrained · intimate","highlights":["Private beach pavilion opens directly onto Paraggi cove","Liberty-style palazzo with fabric canopy beds and taupe millwork","Coffered bamboo restaurant with full-width views of protected waters"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$1,114","pricePerNightExclTax":"$1,114","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujf5s03i915ym9pi47zum1713353679835_c84cc73b-cfec-4a8e-b990-8420e3f4eafb.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Eight Hotel Paraggi — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Eight Hotel Paraggi · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Eight Hotel Paraggi captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujl3104k315ymz7fr6gvx1713353679208_ca432806-d01c-48f0-90bb-97d5775cfb2b.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Eight Hotel Paraggi — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Eight Hotel Paraggi · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Eight Hotel Paraggi, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujqw005lv15ymrmxods3t1713353678606_be22c613-e2d2-411a-92cd-5bf628688251.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Eight Hotel Paraggi — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Eight Hotel Paraggi · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Eight Hotel Paraggi — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujwtd06nn15ym9kgfg3ah1713353677423_146dc256-db8c-43c7-bd3b-88e5e548ab23.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Eight Hotel Paraggi — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Eight Hotel Paraggi · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Eight Hotel Paraggi, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk2o307pf15ym0otz51bx1713353680492_8afcc4b9-531e-46b3-ad90-b041220ab265.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Eight Hotel Paraggi — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Eight Hotel Paraggi · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Eight Hotel Paraggi — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Eight Hotel Portofino","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/italy/italian-riviera/eight-hotel-portofino","city":"Italian Riviera","cityHeader":"Italian Riviera • Portofino • OVER THE TOP","neighborhood":"Portofino","loyaltyProgram":"Hilton Honors™","designSummary":"Tucked into the car-free lanes of Santa Margherita Ligure, just minutes from Portofino's famous harbor by water taxi or the hotel's own electric buggy, Eight Hotel Portofino makes a persuasive case that intimacy is its own form of luxury. The property is set within a pale stucco building typical of the Ligurian riviera townscape — shuttered windows, molded cornices, the cobblestone mosaic entry threshold visible in the forecourt — converted into a small, design-forward hotel whose identity is built on carefully curated interiors rather than grand architectural gesture.\n\nInside, two distinct moods coexist. The established rooms carry a restrained contemporary register: warm timber floors, panel-molded white joinery, cream upholstered armchairs grouped around low lacquered tables, and large-format black-and-white portrait photography mounted flush to greige-toned walls. The newer suite configurations shift the palette decisively toward Riviera warmth — powder blue paneling borrowed from the Ligurian sky, walnut and brass open-shelf room dividers creating a soft boundary between sleeping and living zones, and terracotta-upholstered daybeds that pick up the amber of the oak flooring below. The dining room strikes its own note: emerald velvet barrel chairs around slate-topped tables, striped silk curtains puddling onto cherry-wood floors, and a circular convex mirror anchoring the buffet wall in a move that feels more Milanese apartment than resort breakfast room. Access to a private beach club on the bay completes the picture.","snippet":"A converted Ligurian palazzo in car-free Santa Margherita Ligure with curated interiors and private beach club access.","bestFor":"Travelers who read buildings and interiors","vibe":"Intimate-refined · coastal","highlights":["Ligurian stucco palazzo converted with curated contemporary interiors","Newer suites feature powder-blue paneling and brass room dividers","Private beach club access on the bay"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$1,241","pricePerNightExclTax":"$1,241","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujf8r03ir15ymztxfo8dz1713354179999_796ce895-2246-4ca0-a151-0016ca367d16.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Eight Hotel Portofino — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Eight Hotel Portofino · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Eight Hotel Portofino captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujl5a04kh15ym3vzn9kuv1713354180733_9e670ab9-ac1f-4384-a58a-dc8ab037ec2f.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Eight Hotel Portofino — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Eight Hotel Portofino · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Eight Hotel Portofino, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujqxk05mb15ymp2a9ulj11713354179335_5f81291b-4201-49aa-acd0-30534f60b5c9.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Eight Hotel Portofino — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Eight Hotel Portofino · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Eight Hotel Portofino — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujww006o515ym1m572fls1713354178101_1be46e3a-20de-4dd8-bee1-f42e917e385a.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Eight Hotel Portofino — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Eight Hotel Portofino · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Eight Hotel Portofino, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk2q407pv15ymiswqip2w1713354181538_cc3cbbca-0e03-4f41-8179-ed83b4eab175.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Eight Hotel Portofino — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Eight Hotel Portofino · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Eight Hotel Portofino — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]}]}
