What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A 19th-century classic on the Italian Riviera, Grand Hotel Alassio Resort & Spa is neoclassical from the street and contemporary-classic in the rooms.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto the seaside promenade, with the town center just a short stroll away.
The rooms
Interiors favor saturated colors and clean lines. Many sea-facing rooms look straight out across the gulf from private terraces.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The indoor pool sits beneath a skylit atrium, filled with seawater heated to 32 to 34 degrees Celsius.
The spa and gym
Thermal facilities include a Turkish hammam and Finnish sauna, and the gym is fitted with Technogym machines.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The 18.97 Bistrot bakes Neapolitan pizza with 48-hour leavened dough, and Piano Mare pours cocktails on its promenade terrace.
How it began
The 1897 landmark sat abandoned for nearly half a century before the Vinai family spent a decade restoring it.
