Introduction

Reviews

Classic Italian-style charm meets modern-day facilities in this much loved hotel.

Standing majestically on a hillside and featuring superb views of the Italian Riviera, this elegant hotel is a firm favourite with Kuoni guests. Dating back to 1908, the hotel has a glamorous and elegant Liberty-style façade and is set in parkland surrounded by fragrant rhododendrons and azaleas. Inside, the décor is a combination of classic and modern and the service is exemplary. Spend days lounging on the sun terrace and enjoy superb views of the Bay of Rapallo and Portofino whilst cooling off in the pool during the summer months.

Why we love Grand Hotel Bristol Resort & Spa

Grand Hotel Bristol & Spa has a wonderful location for exploring the Italian Riviera with tours available to Portofino and Cinque Terre.
Located only 150 metres from the sea, a walk along the seafront (via the main road) makes for an ideal break during the day. Embrace the warm rays of the sun whilst admiring the pretty marina and colourful boats.
From nearby Rapallo you can take an historic cable car up to the Sanctuary of Montallegro, Dating back to 1559, it was built following an apparition of the Virgin Mary.
Learn how the local sparkling Abissi wines are aged on under the Portofino sea.
