Genoa, a jewel set between the sea and the mountains, never ceases to amaze—especially in summer. There are countless ways to discover the city—one of the main ports on the Mediterranean—and its surroundings: you can explore enchanting villages, parks, historic villas, and beaches, all while relying on the ‘tailor-made’ comfort of the Bristol Palace, a gateway to the heart of Genoa. The hotel welcomes its guests by offering a personalized experience tailored to their interests and desires.

To each guest, their own hotel and their own Genoa.

Genoa and Liguria are a surprising destination for food lovers, who—like treasure hunters—travel along the Riviera and into the hinterland in search of authentic Genoese flavors, with their delicious recipes and unique culinary traditions. For gourmets, the Bristol has plenty of delights in store to be savored on the terrace of the Giotto restaurant. Among the local specialties on the à la carte menu are Ligurian-style octopus salad, trofie from Recco with Prà DOP basil pesto, stuffed vegetables, and torta pasqualina. The Bristol Palace also offers special attention to women, who can enjoy a rejuvenating experience all to themselves, or together with two or three close friends, sharing hours or even days of carefree relaxation—perhaps celebrating a stylish bachelorette party. In addition, the Bristol Palace caters to smart workers, offering not just a service but embracing their lifestyle. Thanks to technology—and to a hotel that has invested in innovation—guests can alternate between the beach, excursions, museum visits, and remote work, all while enjoying the comfort of a luxury hotel in a dreamlike setting.

The offers in detail

All the delicacies of Genoa and Liguria, right at the hotel. The Bristol Palace’s offer is sure to tempt gourmets. Guests are welcomed with a gift and treated to breakfast in the Liberty-style rooms, as well as a tasting of local wines, cheeses, and cured meats at the Giotto Restaurant. The region boasts specialties such as Vermentino and Pigato wines, Prescinsêua, fresh or aged ricotta, San Stè— the cheese from Santo Stefano d’Aveto— and Salame crudo from Sant’Olcese. The offer also includes a more elaborate four-course traditional Ligurian dinner, allowing guests to journey through aromas and flavors.

The hotel also offers special treatment for women traveling for business or leisure, whether alone or with friends.

Guests can stay as long as they wish and let themselves be pampered by a host of thoughtful touches, both big and small: from complimentary room service for breakfast and dinner to an in-room kettle with a selection of teas, herbal infusions, and coffee; from a complimentary women’s magazine to a kit with beauty and skincare products. Rooms are also equipped with a professional hairdryer and a hair straightener, allowing guests to travel light.

Finally, the Bristol has also embraced smart working, particularly for those who wish to focus on their work while enjoying a stay in Genoa, in line with the ‘workation’ concept: once the computer is switched off, guests can head to the beach, explore the city, savor local cuisine, or relax in green surroundings. The hotel’s luxurious suites are transformed into offices—spaces sanitized daily where guests can work in complete privacy, thanks to high-speed internet, a smart TV, a webcam available on request, an in-room coffee and tea corner, and many other services. For smart workers, the hotel also offers a three-course business lunch at the Giotto restaurant.
