Grand Hotel Savoia Genova, Curio Collection by Hilton in Genova, open June–November.
Grand Hotel Savoia stands apart as Genova's only waterfront palace hotel with direct access to the Porto Antico, offering couples a venue where 19th-century grandeur meets contemporary luxury.
Built in 1877, this Curio Collection property commands panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the city's historic harbor, providing an architectural backdrop few Italian destinations can match.
The hotel's versatile spaces—from the ornate ballrooms to intimate terraces—accommodate weddings of varying scales without sacrificing elegance.
Spent two nights at Grand Hotel Savoia for a quick trip to Genoa. Rooms are quite comfortable, with luxurious beds and black-out shutters - helped keep the early morning city noise muffled, too. Main lounge on first floor is opulent, with plenty of comfortable seating, quality bar service, and an atmosphere reminiscent of a more glamorous period in Genoa. Live music on some nights, piano primarily. Location is fine, close to one of the main rail stations and maybe a 10 minute walk to the old part of the city. The main area around the hotel is safe enough, as well as main streets to old city. As a general note, some of the side streets in the old city can be a bit "unsavory" - nothing to do with the hotel, but something tourists new to the city should know.
