Top Italian Riviera Hotel Reviews

Imperiale Palace Hotel

Imperiale Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"As a global traveler, this was one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in! Great rooms. Spectacular views of the Ligurian Sea. Fabulously helpful and friendly staff. Perfection! Super special place. Unique. Service superb. Gardens spectacular. Pool and waterfront area fabulous. Sitting by the sea and hearing the roar of the waves and appreciating the view unreal. Wish I could have spent more time there. Btw Santa Margherita Ligure totally underrated. The best city for touring the area like Cinque Terre, unlike Portofino (touristy). The Imperial conveniently located in the city. Bar and staff wonderful and breakfast superb. My wife and I could not find a single flaw. They should do better PR."
