You could hardly be closer to the beach at Rimini - the Imperial Beach Hotel, on Viale Toscanelli, sits on the lovely Bay of Rivabella, gazing out to sea. Though right on the seafront this is a relatively quiet part of town.

Just a few metres from the beach, this Rimini hotel is on the lively and ever-popular Marina Centro promenade. Set on Viale Regina Elena, at the heart of this bustling Italian Adriatic resort, the Hotel Kyriad Vienna offers four-star comfort, and a charming atmosphere.

Situated in the Miramare area of Rimini, and very close to the beach, the Hotel Nettunia offers four-star comfort and the reliable reputation of the Best Western chain. This accommodation, on Via Le Regina Margherita, is in the shopping district of this ever-popular Italian Adriatic seaside resort.

The Hotel Residence Paradiso opened for business in summer 2006. With a terrific position on Viale Tirrenia, set just back from the seafront in the Miramare district of Rimini, it has panoramic sea views.

With a central location in the Miramare district of Rimini, the Hotel Touring offers four-star comfort just five minutes from Riccione (the centre of Rimini's thriving nightclub scene) and with easy access to the town centre (4km north).
