On Via XX Settembre in central Genoa, Hotel Bristol Palace occupies a Belle Époque building known for its theatrical Art Nouveau interiors and sweeping elliptical staircase. The 133 rooms and suites place classical proportions, rich fabrics and polished woodwork inside one of the city’s grand early-20th-century hotels. Dining is anchored by Giotto Restaurant and the bar-bistrot, while a series of reception rooms reflects the property’s long role in Genoese civic life. From the lobby, the hotel opens directly onto arcades, shops and the old city streets leading towards Piazza De Ferrari.
