Culture

history

Inaugurated in 1905 in an elegant building on Via XX Settembre in Liberty style (Italy’s art nouveau), the Bristol Palace is one of the historic symbols of Genoese hospitality.

Frequented by high society and illustrious international personalities since the Belle Époque, it has retained its prestige through significant moments of history.

Restored with the goal of maintaining and enhancing its Liberty and Art Deco identity, it retains original spaces and its famous elliptical marble staircase, permanently associated with Alfred Hitchcock's cinematographic imagery.

Today, it continues to represent an icon of elegance and history in the heart of Genoa.
