Built in 1897 by Federico Fioroni, the Grand Hotel Savoia is a 5-star hotel based in the center of Genoa, Italy. The hotel is hard to miss with its bright pink and white exterior, and it’s just a hop skip and a jump from the train station. Each of the 117 rooms of the Savoia has individual quirks with unique prints, drapes, and fabrics inspired by the Belle Epoque and souvenirs from travels to exotic places. Every room is decorated with marble and glass mosaics, invoking a deep sense of luxury and opulence to enrich your stay.

Hungry? The Ristorante Salgari is a lavishly decorated spot to grab delicious, authentic Italian cuisine. With dishes like risotto with blue lobster and stuffed squid, every guest is sure to leave satisfied. Thirsty? Grab a cocktail at the hotel’s Bar Royale.

Bringing the little ones along? The hotel Savoia Genova has a unique pirate-themed play area for kids to enjoy! If sea life is of interest to you (or your kids), you’re in luck! This hotel happens to be in close proximity to the Genoa Aquarium (the largest in Italy and one of the largest in all of Europe).
