Grand Hotel Miramare - Santa Margherita Ligure - Grand Hotel Miramare reviews

In 1903 Mr. Giacomo Costa transformed his private residence into a hotel, entrusting the management to the Kuoni-Stoppani family, founders of one of the oldest European travel agencies: this is how the Miramare soon became one of the first Grand Hotels on the Portofino coast. The Grand Hotel Miramare with its large liberty style building, overlooking the promenade to Portofino, dominates the Tigullio Gulf.

The Hotel Miramare had been receiving famous guests as Laurence Olivier e Vivian during the honeymoon (1947), Guglielmo Marconi (1933), Marina di Savoia (1950), Anita Ekberg (1958), Ugo Tognazzi (1958) and many other at the "Samba Night" of the Barracuda, during the "Fifties"

At the hotel Miramare the guests can enjoy services and amenities such as the open air heated sea water pool, the "Les Bougainvillées", elegant restaurant with panoramic view, the american bar "Le Colonne", the "Barracuda" Piano Bar, a chic venue for cocktails or after-dinner drinks, "Poolside Buffet and Barbecue" for a pleasant summer luncheon and, during the Summer season, the private beach "Bagni Miramare".

The Miramare conference center is a perfect location for the most demanding meeting, offering the right atmosphere for relaxation and concentration, amidst the silence of nature and the blue of the sea. The state-of-the-art "eSPAce" is the new wellness center of the Grand Hotel Miramare, featuring a wealth of face and body treatments.

Santa Margherita Ligure is located in the very heart of the Italian Riviera, which is the gateway to the beautiful village of Portofino (3 miles) and is a short distance from the famous wine district "Le Cinque Terre" (1 hour) Nice, Milan and Florence (2 hours). The hotel is just 5 minutes from the railway station and 40 minutes from Genoa International Airport. Shuttle service available.
