What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the Grand Hotel Savoia takes inspiration from the grandeur and elegance of a transatlantic ocean liner.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Genova Piazza Principe station sits directly across the piazza. The maritime port and the medieval old town are a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms hold vintage travel trunks and old maps above parquet floors. Bathrooms are finished with glass mosaics and marble fixtures.
The spa
La Spiaggia Segreta has a bio-sauna and Turkish bath. Mirrored treatment rooms are set aside for massages.
At the table
The seventh-floor terrace looks out over Genoa toward the port. Dinner brings Ligurian seafood under the terrace awning.
How it began
When founder Federico Fioroni opened the hotel in 1897, it was the first in Italy with private bathrooms in every room.
