Grand Hotel Savoia

Genoa


A belle-époque dame from the late 19th century, the Grand Savoia has elegantly updated rooms with parquet flooring, high-quality furnishings and black-and-white photo-murals behind the beds evoking Genoa's vintage past. The best rooms have fine views. It's next to Stazione Porta Principe – incredibly convenient when arriving by train. In the summer, breakfast is served on the terrace overlooking the roofs against the Mediterranean backdrop.

Onsite parking is available for €25 per day.
