Set on a verdant hillside overlooking the picture-perfect harbour of Portofino, with its luxury yachts bobbing at anchor, Hotel Splendido is one of Italy’s most glamorous retreats.

A stay here embraces all that is best about the Ligurian Riviera: warm days by the pool, celebrated cuisine and magical views of the turquoise Mediterranean.

For guests who prefer to stay a little closer to the action, sister hotel Splendido Mare stands beside the renowned Piazzetta, close to the resort’s lively quay. Together, these elegant retreats encapsulate the Orient-Express experience, delivering guests right to the heart of the vibrant local scene.
