Standing sentry on the scenic waterfront of Viareggio since the early 1920's, Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte offers the perfect base from which to explore this romantic Italian seaside town.

One could be forgiven for thinking they'd stumbled into an expensive period drama when Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte comes into view. The magnificent facade has seduced a number of Hollywood directors into using it as a backdrop for scenes in their movies, and the eye candy isn't limited to the exterior, either…

106 accommodations are housed inside, split into 87 Rooms and 19 Suites across five floors. All offer views over the Apuan Alps or the sea, and amenities like flat-screen TVs, pillow menu and marble bathrooms are par for the course.

While the charming town of Viareggio is yours to explore while lounging here, ample amenities await those looking to remain a little closer to home. A fifth-floor pool caters to those looking for a scenic paddle, while the adjacent panoramic restaurant bar pairs sundowners with spectacular sunsets.

For those in search of culinary delights, Il Piccolo Principe offers twice-starred Michelin fine dining from April to October. The menu boasts a range of traditional Versilian and Tuscan fine dining, paired and enhanced with an extensive wine list.
