The architectural conversion has retained the hotel’s tradition as the only prestigious 5-star hotel in Genoa, located in the former base of ILVA, right in the centre of Via Corsica.

Here, you can enjoy luxurious and modern rooms and spend a stay in the area of Carignano, close to all the shops of XX Settembre, the Carlo Felice theatre and the well-known Aquarium of Genoa.
