2 Best Hotels in San Remo, The Italian Riviera

There's an air of seclusion and a respite from hectic San Remo in these bright, well-equipped rooms—some with balconies and sea views—that face a quiet, palm-fringed garden and pool. The hotel is surrounded by manicured grounds and an adjacent, lush public park. A pleasant restaurant offers a fixed-price menu for lunch and dinner, or a variety of à la carte options. There's a two- or three-night minimum stay in July and August.

With its heated seawater swimming pool in a tropical garden and guest rooms (some with sea views) with an attention to traditional design and modern amenities, this is considered one of Liguria's most luxurious resorts. On the terrace, candlelight dining and music are offered in warm weather. Keep your eyes open for off-season discounts. The Royal is only a few moments from the world-famous casino.
