What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The gleaming décor mostly toes the business-formal party line, every now and then allowing itself a charmingly framed print or a burst of fresh flowers.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Torino Porta Nuova station is right outside, and the grand piazzas of central Turin are a short walk away.

The rooms
Soft pastel palettes quiet the bedrooms, and bathrooms have retro checkered floor tiles and cross-knob taps.
The spa and gym
A subterranean hydromassage bath is fitted with neck jets and loungers, and an adjacent gym holds cardio machines.
At the table
Les Petites Madeleines serves contemporary Piedmontese cooking beneath tiered brass pendants. Upstairs, open-air terrace tables look toward the Alps.
How it began

Constantino Kraft opened the hotel in 1872 to lodge aristocrats arriving at Turin's expanding central railway terminus.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
