From its hilltop perch above the Portofino Coast in the ancient fishing village of Rapallo, the Excelsior Palace Hotel commands sweeping views of the Bay of Rapallo to the east and the Gulf of Portofino to the west. The hotel attracted a high-society clientele when it opened as a casino in 1901, but shut down in the 1970s. Now totally renovated and restored, it greets guests in an expansive reception area with gleaming marble floors, white pillars, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing its famous views. The hotel has two restaurants, two bars, both indoor and outdoor pools, and a health and beauty spa housed in a 19th century villa.
