The Grand Hotel Miramare overlooks the Gulf of Tigullio in Santa Margherita Ligure. The hotel was built in 1903 and was one of the first Grand Hotels on the Riviera. Guests can enjoy the sun terrace and saltwater swimming pool in the tropical, Mediterranean garden (open from April to October). Guests can also relax with the wellness centre providing beauty treatments, massages, and a relaxation area. Ristorante Vistamare serves classic Ligurian dishes in the dining room with sea views or out on the terrace. Guests can even try a cooking course run by the hotel's chef. Situated in a beautiful location between Rapallo and Portofino, the Grand Hotel Miramare is a great base to explore the coast as well as the nearby towns of Golfo Paradiso and Cinque Terre.
