Genoa, a jewel set between sea and mountains, never ceases to amaze, especially in the summer. There are thousands of ways to discover the city – one of the chief ports in the Mediterranean – and its environs. Here you’ll discover enchanting villages, parks, patrician villas and beaches in the knowledge that you can always rely on all the customised comforts of the Bristol Palace, gateway to the heart of Genoa. The hotel offers visitors an experience tailor-made to meet their interest and desires. 

 

Genoa and the surrounding Liguria region are a fantastic destination for foodies, who like treasure hunters can travel the length and breadth of the Riviera and its hinterland in search of original Genoese flavour, hence delicious recipes and unique gastronomic traditions. For gourmets, the Bristol holds many surprises in store, all of which can be enjoyed on the Ristorante Giotto terrace. The à la carte menu features local recipes, such as octopus salad Ligurian-style, Recco trofie with PDO Prà basil pesto, stuffed vegetables and torta pasqualina, or Easter pie (filled with greens and hard-boiled eggs). The Bristol Palace devotes special attentin to women, offering them the chance to live an exclusive regenerative experience, singly or with inseparable friends, sharing hours or days of carefree enjoyment and relaxation – for a memorable hen party, for example. The Bristol Palace also caters for smart workers, offering them not only a service but also embracing their lifestyle. Thanks to technology – the hotel has invested heftily in innovation – they can alternate the beach, trips, museum visits and remote working while enjoying all the comforts of a luxurious hotel in a place that dreams are made of. 

You’ll find all the delicacies of Genoa and Liguria at the hotel. The Bristol Palace’s “mouth-watering” package for gourmets includes a welcome gift, breakfast in its art-nouveau rooms and a tasting of typical wines, cheese and charcuterie in the Ristorante Giotto. The region offers specialities such as the white wines Vermentino and Pigato, Prescinsêua, a fresh or mature ricotta, San Stè, a cheese characteristic of the mountain village of Santo Stefano d’Aveto, and Sant’Olcese raw salami. The elaborate four-course Ligurian dinner included in the package will take you on a journey through aromas and flavours. 

 

The Hotel reserves special conditions for women travelling for business or leisure, alone or with friends. They can stay for as long as they wish and let themselves be pampered with an array of special treats, great and small: from free room service at breakfast and dinner to an in-room kettle complete with a selection of teas, tisanes and coffees, from a free women’s magazine to a cosmetics and beauty kit. In their rooms, to allow them to travel light, they’ll also find professional hair dryers complete with straighteners.

 

The Bristol also caters for smart working, especially for guests who wish to work while at once enjoying their stay in Genoa on a sort of “workation”: meaning, having turned off their computer, going to the beach, exploring the city, enjoying local food specialities and relaxing in the greenery. The luxurious suites of the hotel morph into offices, spaces that are sanitised daily in which it’s possible to work in the utmost privacy with the aid of high-speed wi-fi connection, a smart TV, a webcam on request, an in-room coffee and tea corner and many other amenities. The hotel also offers smart workers a three-course business lunch at the Ristorante Giotto.
