Founded in the early Twenties with the name Select Palace Hotel, in 1925 it was extended by two floors and embellished by the magnificent façade that harmonizes the central part. Time has transformed it into a Grand Hotel of international fame that is the preferred residence of aristocrats, intellectuals, and artists alike. Rechristened the Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte in 1938, its grandeur has captured the attention of countless directors becoming the scene for prestigious cinematographic productions. Restored to the height of its splendor in 2004, after 19 months of restoration, today the Principe is unquestionably one of the world’s most historic and elegant hotels. The Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte has 102 rooms and suites laid out across five themed floors either with a sea view or looking out at the Apuan Alps with every modern comfort and offering truly excellent service. The rooftop terrace is situated on the top floor of the Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte, a stunning location with a magnificent pool overlooking the sea of Versilia.

Lovely location on wide Avenue with view of sea, the decor is stunning, impressive modern art, design and spotless. Staff are charming and efficient and in particular the lovely Abigail in the breakfast dinning room, the Maitre d of the divine rooftop restaurant and the wonderful elegant knowledgeable lady in charge of the gorgeous pool. Breakfast utterly sublime and the best we have had outside of Ireland. The choice and quality of cuisine was tops!

I took my mum here for her 70th Birthday. Our room was one of the more basic ones available but was still lovely and spacious. The breakfast is absolutely outstanding. By far and away the best selection and presentation I have ever seen. Everyone at the hotel is lovely, especially the lady at the pool (I didn't take her name) but she was super helpful and friendly, recommending areas for us to visit. Whilst there are not a huge amount of beds by the pool, we never had a problem obtaining one. We also ate in the Michelin starred restaurant - the food was exquisite and the servers were also at breakfast and remembered us which was nice. Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent hotel and location. The staff were amazing, friendly and very professional. Fabulous roof top pool with great bar and restaurant. Great food, definitely one of our favourite hotels ever.

Haute Hôtellerie in the true pure sense ( combined with high-end prices). Absolute perfection in every detail, same Belle Époque atmosphere like at La Reserve de Beaulieu, Dolder Grand, Quellenhof, Hotel de Paris, Breakers Palm Beach. We usually spent 2 weeks in September and May, will come again in June ( just weather may stop us). The Grande Maestro Guiseeppe, famous Chef of the hotel 2 stars Michelin restaurants personally greeting us every morning and creating finest art of our fantasies on top of the Tiffany Breakfast Buffet worth Guinness Book page. The only breakfast where we had 4 waiters around our table permanently ( just Restaurant Le Louis XV - Alain Ducasse im Hôtel de Paris has 5-6 for the dinner) . We have met the billionaire owner for wonderful conversation. Genius entrepreneur and intellectual, he invested/fully renovated hotel for more than EUR 200 mio just for his love to Italy. As we told highly respected owner the only improvements to the hotel would be to extend Grand Breakfast till 12.00, and have special program for long or often staying guests ( like all the owners of the hotels mentioned above did after my humble advise). The Bistrot on the rooftop would be a perfect location to a copy of the Le Grill Restaurant of the Hotel de Paris, with open vertical wood grill as perfect attraction for spring, automn and winter. Your clients for life. Hochachtungsvoll, Dr.iur.Dr.phil.oxon Mudrych Quellenhof, Bad Ragaz, Liechtenstein
