The Park Hotel Suisse, Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy

Park Hotel Suisse, Santa Margherita Ligure

This Portofino hotel was built in 1956 and is still managed by the same Swiss family. The Park Hotel Suisse is a wonderful place to stay in the attractive little Italian Riviera resort of Santa Margherita Ligure, Liguria. The hotel is just along from the pretty harbour and overlooks the entire Tigullio Gulf from Portofino to Sestri Levante. This incredibly pretty stretch of coast has long been popular with the international jetset, who come here to visit the chic hotels, shops and bars that line the coast and bask in the warm Riviera sunshine.

The Park Hotel Suisse has six floors containing 80 beautifully decorated and supremely comfortable rooms, all with a balcony and breathtaking views either out across the shimmering Gulf or overlooking the lovely, sub-tropical hotel gardens. Every room at this Italian hotel has its own practical en-suite shower room equipped with luxurious toiletries, complimentary bathrobes and a built-in hairdryer, plus direct-dial telephone, colour TV, internet connection point and a comfortable seating area with a table. Cots and adjoining rooms are available for families travelling with children, and there is a reduced rate for under-16s staying in their parents' room, while under-threes stay completely free of charge. A delicious continental-style breakfast is served from 7am to 10am and wake-up calls can be arranged if required.

This hotel in Italy has a wonderfully inviting swimming pool with a delightful water slide for the little ones to enjoy, and the pool is surrounded by a relaxing sun terrace where guests can relax in the sun with a book or magazine. A fabulous restaurant with a shady terrace offers an appetising menu of local and international specialities and there's a sophisticated bar where guests can linger over an aperitif or cocktail before dinner. Meeting facilities include an impressive conference room seating up to 300 people - ideal for talks or presentations - plus a range of smaller meeting rooms, all fully equipped with the latest in audio-visual technology.

Small, well-behaved pets are welcome to join you for your stay at this Ligurian hotel, and all major credit cards are welcome.
