Top choice in Ancona


This sleek, sea-facing four-star sets the standard in Ancona. Housed in a converted 1950s brick building overlooking the port, it sports a crisp minimalist look, all cool whites, plate-glass windows and slate-greys, and its light, parquet-floored rooms are among the most stylish in town.

There's also a gym set into the city's original Roman walls, a recently opened bistro and, on the 4th floor, a highly-regarded gourmet restaurant with al fresco terrace seating.
