Grand Hotel Miramare

Warning!! Do not stay here if you are expecting stylish Italian riviera style and are expecting 5* design, amenities and service. 3 star and $350 a night at best. Do not be fooled by the stylish branding and website, the reality of the hotel is far from it!! False advertising. The experience and hotel design is more akin with a cheap seaside resort hotel than a 5* experience at €1,000 a night. If you have experienced other 5* hotels, you will be incredibly disappointed by this cheap, poorly designed and tacky hotel. We booked for our honeymoon and left early with no compensation from the hotel. Trip ruined and an awful experience all round. The only thing the hotel has going for it is the view! Think very carefully before booking and again do not be fooled by the website and Instagram, it’s nothing like it! Our only option is to peruse a chargeback with the bank on a case of false advertising.

We stayed two nights and the grounds are beautiful! The breakfast buffet was full of delicious food. Great location for walking around and just a short hike up to Portofino! The spa with massages was amazing! I highly recommend this hotel! If you are ever in Santa Margherita Ligure

I can’t say enough about this hotel or the staff. We were offered a beautiful ocean front suite upgrade upon arrival. Champagne and goodies awaited us. The suite was beautiful and the amenities above and beyond luxurious. The food was to to die for. The staff were so attentive and friendly. It was open season week and not very crowded which made it all the more personal and quiet. I would recommend this beautiful hotel over and over. Hope to make it back.

The hotel is lovely with gorgeous sea or stunning garden views. The staff is kind and helpful. Breakfast on the terrace, a dream. Some very well done refurbishment has taken place in the lounge area and possibly the rooms too (our room and bathroom was elegant, spacious and comfortable). The bar area is great and the chief bartender is friendly and makes excellent cocktails (I’m sorry I do not recall his name). This is the first time we availed ourselves of the spa and we were not disappointed; therapists Leila and Deborah were excellent!

Great hotel right on the sea. We had a big room with a patio overlooking the rear gardens. The rooms facing the rear tend to be bigger than those facing the ocean. The service was excellent and the included breakfast included both a large buffet and to order items. The front desk was very helpful and assisted in making restaurant reservations and taxis when needed.
