Grand Hotel Bristol Resort & SPA

My wife and I spent 3 nights at the Grand Hotel Bristol. The property is absolutely beautiful and the staff is incredible. From the moment we were picked up at the train station by the hotel shuttle, to the check in process to check out and everything in between, this was a complete 5 star experience. We had a Deluxe Sea View room and it was very comfortable. It was such a pleasure to wake up in the morning and look out at the gorgeous view. We were able to see the entire coastline from Rapallo to Santa Margherita Liguria, to Portofino. The spa was certainly a highlight. We took advantage of the facility every day of our visit. We also enjoyed the outdoor pool. Since it was off season, we pretty much had the pool area to ourselves. The outdoor pool is not heated, but it was still comfortable enough for me to swim. We had dinner at La Veranda the first night and it was very good. The cocktail bar was beautiful as well. As I said, the staff were incredible and a particular thank you to Chiara! I highly recommend a stay at The Grand Hotel Bristol and we will certainly be back!

Fantastic hotel, very good location and exceptional staff! The room was great! The breakfast could have more options. An hotel to come back again!

Hotel is very nicely located with excellent view! However, only one resturant (with the claim of fine dining) and bar to eat.

We stayed 3 nights at the Grand hotel Bristol Spa. As my husband had diamond Hilton status we were upgraded to an Seaview room which was lovely. It was spacious and comfortable. On arrival we were given welcome drinks in the lounge which was a lovely touch. We also found a gift in our room, a fruit plate and bottle of Prosecco. The best part about the hotel is the access to the wellness spa. It’s just great to get back to the hotel of an evening and use the facilities. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was lovely to sit on the terrace each morning and enjoy the view. The hotel is a 15 minute walk out of the centre of town. The hotel runs a shuttle service which goes to and from the town regularly. On our departure day, they even dropped us at the station so we could catch the train to our next destination.

So GHB looks, from the front, somewhat like the Grand Budapest Hotel in the film with Ralph Fiennes. We went for an end of summer stay and were bowled over by the welcome, the professionalism, the attention and quality. It’s the staff that make the place. Le Cupole on the top floor is superstar quality with every single mouthful bringing a smile. The Veranda is a bit more democratic in its pricing but the quality isn’t compromised. The spa is breathtaking. It’s already our joint top favourite hotel anywhere.
