Hotel Galata, Genoa - Genova downtown hotels

Hotel Galata, Genoa

There are few hotels in a better location than Genoa's Hotel Galata. This three-star hotel is in a fully-refurbished 19th-century building in Genoa's charming old town. The city's centre and top attractions, including the harbour and excellent aquarium, are only a ten-minute walk away. For those willing to venture further, Genoa is a great base from which to explore the delights of Italy's Liguria region and the famous Italian Riviera. The most popular day trip is to the chic resort of Portofino, to the east of Genoa, and the beautiful hiking trails of the five villages making up the Cinque Terre. Transport links are superb (the Hotel Galata is only 20 metres from the Piazza Principe railway station and a 15-minute bus ride to Genoa's international airport), making it an ideal location for both leisure and business travellers, as well as cruise ship passengers.

The hotel itself is a pleasure to stay in. Its shared spaces and 19 rooms are decorated individually, with many personal touches, along a marine theme tracing Genoa's maritime history and connections. There is even a library specialising in the ocean and sea voyages. A marble staircase, spacious terrace and a bar add to the unique atmosphere.

The hotel rooms are modern, yet successfully retain some of the building's original details. They are air conditioned, soundproof and offer high-speed internet access. They also have cable TV, direct-dial phone, minibar, hairdryer and en suite bathroom with shower. The entire hotel is accessible for wheelchairs. Non-smoking rooms are rooms with a view are available on request.
