Hotels in Turin Italy

Art Hotel Olympic, Turin

The Art Hotel Olympic, Turin opened in May 2006 on the site which was once the Media Village for the Winter Olympics. The Environment Museum and Environment Park are very close to the hotel, and there are plenty of bus services to the city centre. Here you can admire the Baroque architecture and ornate interiors of the chic cafes and boutiques. You will be spoilt for choice with so many museums and galleries to visit. Those with modern tastes should head for the Galleria Civica d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, where you can see works by artists like De Chirico and Warhol, as well as touring exhibitions from around the world. If your tastes are more traditional, Galeria Sabauda displays the private collection of the Savoys, who once ruled Turin (Torino). Featured artists include Van Eyck, Rembrandt and Brueghel. The Palazzo Reale definitely merits a tour, as behind its unremarkable facade this sixteenth-century palace has a wildly decadent interior, in which every inch is covered by gilt or else painted with allegorical scenes. While you are in the heart of Italy's motor industry, a visit to the Museo dell'Automobile is a must even if you are not a car enthusiast, as you can see four-wheeled film stars such as the Isotta Fraschini from the movie Sunset Boulevard and many other classic vehicles.

This four-star Turin hotel has a restaurant serving typical dishes from the region, an American Bar, a pleasant garden and underground parking facilities for its guests. A continental breakfast buffet is served every morning, and is included in the price of rooms. These are fully air conditioned and come with satellite TV, internet connection, telephone, welcome pack and choice between either bath or shower.
