Grand Hotel Miramare: Belle-Époque Riviera Beside Portofino

The Grand Hotel Miramare has graced the seafront of Santa Margherita Ligure since 1903, a belle-époque grand hotel set in a flower-filled garden on the Italian Riviera, moments from the fabled fishing village of Portofino. It was here that Guglielmo Marconi conducted early radio experiments, and the hotel retains an air of graceful, old-world glamour.

The dining draws on Liguria. The Vistamare Restaurant serves cuisine of elegant simplicity celebrating the finest Mediterranean ingredients under chef Claudio Fortuna; the Pool Restaurant & Bar offers an 'earth and surf' grill in the garden with Riviera views; and the historic Bar Le Colonne pours classic drinks on a columned terrace.

For a belle-époque Riviera stay near Portofino, the Grand Hotel Miramare is a standout.
