Grand Hotel Miramare

On the sunlit shores of the Italian Riviera in Santa Margherita Ligure, this stylish beach hotel sits steps from Portofino Regional Park, Bagni Rosa, Paraggi Beach and the Marina di Santa Margherita. It’s a leafy, sea‑facing base for visiting Portofino and the Cinque Terre. Pet-friendly and family-friendly vibes make it ideal for splashy seaside stays.

About 72 air‑conditioned rooms and suites mix wooden floors and stucco frames with modern comforts like minibars, bathrobes and slippers. Many rooms overlook the sea and the gardens, and beds come with down comforters and fine Italian linens. The hotel blends understated elegance with relaxed service for a breezy, upscale Riviera feel.

Soak in a heated sea‑water pool set in beautiful gardens, or choose the indoor and seasonal outdoor pools. eSPAce spa offers massages, body treatments and facials, plus there’s a sauna, fitness center and a hair salon. Beach access across the street is available June–September (subject to availability), and free Wi‑Fi, concierge service, paid parking and shuttle options keep things easy.

A business center and seven meeting rooms handle conferences and events, with a 24‑hour front desk and complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout. Airport shuttle service is available for a surcharge.

Vistamare serves ocean‑view lunches and dinners with Ligurian, Italian and international dishes and wines. Sip cocktails at Le Colonne American Bar or the Barracuda Piano Bar, grab a casual bite at the Pool Restaurant & Bar in summer, and enjoy a complimentary buffet breakfast each morning.
