What to say? Perfetto! The Grand Hotel in Rimini was on my to do list since several years but never had the opportunity to come. Rimini in winter is very quiet but you can appreciate the walks on the beach, the old town, the nearby villages and of course the excellent cuisine! The hotel is the best in town and it is one of those special places that combine history, old world elegance, comfort. We were greeted by Giampaolo and Lubi (hope it’s written like that), escorted to our beautiful room (guess we were upgraded) in a friendly and professional way…a good start. The room was beautiful, elegantly appointed with original antiques; the bathroom very spacious with a jacuzzi bathtub (a bit difficult to use). It was night but the following morning we could enjoy the nice view on the Fellini Park and the sea from our big terrace and a second romantic balcony. Breakfast was a delight, perhaps one of the best we have ever seen, with lot of choice of extreme quality; service again was friendly but very professional (special mention for Dalida, a true maîtresse de maison, and Cristina). We had dinner once in the restaurant and it was very pleasant. Food was elegant and the desserts excellent! The gardens were immaculate as well as the housekeeping of the whole property. Cleaning levels at the highest standards. I work in a hotel and I am a very difficult guest lol. When we travel, I like to choose the hotels…it doesn’t matter the category, I like hotels that are “kept” with attention to the little things. Here everything was perfect! Last but not least: in winter rates are very affordable. So, if you want to feel like the previous illustrious guests, do not hesitate!

This hotel is beautiful and the breakfast is incredible. The gym is horrible with 2 items and you need to make reservations to use it. The spa is wonderful. I reserved an hour with a spa treatment. The reason I scored this place a 3 star on service is because the front desk staff are unfriendly and not welcoming. It is a 5 star hotel so they emulate the stuffiness of this level hotel. I will not return here because of that. They never asked how they could assist us nor asked how our stay was. Very cold people. However, the breakfast staff are warm and friendly as are the spa people. You would think you would put your best people at the front desk, but they did not.

Iconic Rimini hotel. We loved the historic exterior and public areas, especially the Fellini lounge. The gardens are beautiful and the pool area was relaxing, if rather small given the size of the hotel. Breakfast was excellent. On the negative side, the bedroom had a period charm but the furniture was old and not in an antique way. There was also a lot of ambient noise from the fridge which we disconnected at night and the AC, which we never managed to shut down. The bathroom in particular could do with a serious refurb. The spa looked good but we weren't going to pay Eur 80 per person just to use the sauna and sit by the indoor pool. There is a private beach but charging up to Eur 95 for loungers is a steep extra - that said, the room rate was reasonable. Service was polite but not exceptional. On the whole, we enjoyed the hotel but it is teetering on the edge of looking tired, some major investment will be necessary sooner rather than later.

Excellent hotel with excellent service. We stayed there with a pet, and had no issues. The employees went above and beyond to take care of guests. We only stayed there one night, but the experience was wonderful. We had the room with a beautiful view. The courtyard is amazing, extremely clean and inviting. The location of the property is right at the beginning of the promenade, so it made the walk very convenient. The rooms are spacious and very well appointed, clean and comfortable, with very comfortable beds and a comfortable bathroom with shower. Breakfast choices were ample and excellent. We truly enjoyed our stay at this property and will be back.

This Hotel is one of the finest and do all things well. Very professional staff !! The dining areas were very inviting and the food was second to none. Lots of events. You will not be disappointed!!!
