Travelers' Choice

The Hotel Palace Viareggio is located on the famous promenade, crossing which you arrive directly on the beach.

From the Blu Bar located on the sea view terrace on the 4th floor, every evening you can admire a romantic sunset with a view that stretches from the Gulf of Poets to the Gorgona island; behind the scenery of the Apuan Alps with the candid white of Carrara marble to remind us Michelangelo, Bernini and all the most important Italian sculptors.

The Hotel is a historic Art Nouveau building from 1913; it is due to the famous Arch. Belluomini, the renovation in 1922, which will make the Hotel one of the symbols of the Belle Epoque. The restyling that took place between 2018 and 2023 was based on the recovery and conservation of all the furnishings. In the room, only the bathroom has been completely renovated, while the bed, the furniture and the parquet, original from 1960, have been restored; this without taking anything away from comfort, mattresses, pillows, TV are all new. The floors and furnishings have also been preserved in the common areas, the Bar is original from 1960, as are the Murano drop chandeliers

The feeling you get when you enter the hotel is to live an experience based on the architectural history of the early 20th century. The "Belle Epoque" room where breakfast is served, it’s an example of skilful recovery and conservation of retro furnishings.

It has been frequented by the local People, a meeting place in the caminet room and Piano room, and after to enjoy an aperitif and a dinner in its two Bars and two Restaurants; a concept that carries perfectly with the desire of the Staff, to bring the Hotel not only for Tourists, but also for those who live there all year round.

The Hotel has 69 rooms, 18 of which have a sea view, 3 apartments are also available, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living room/kitchen, with a balcony overlooking the Apuan Alps. Also available are 2 conference rooms.

I have been to Italy quite a few times, and I lived there for a short time many years ago. I have stayed in lots of different hotels, B&Bs, etc. there. The Palace Hotel is by far my favorite. Wonderful location, reasonably priced, clean well-furnished rooms, and the best showers I’ve ever found in Italy. But most of all, it’s the great staff. It is just so nice to be greeted with such pleasant honest smiles from the cameriere when you come down to breakfast in the morning. The front desk folks bend over backwards to help with any issue, and the facchini/maintenance guys are the most efficient I’ve ever seen in a hotel. It’s a great place and I can’t recommend it enough. P.S. – In response to one person’s negative comment in these reviews about the cost of the beach facility across the street associated with the hotel - Yes, some private beach facilities can be pricey, but remember that there are lots of other private and public beaches to choose from.

My wife and I spent 10 nights here to celebrate my 65th birthday, On arrival we were promptly checked in by Gianlucca who offered us coffee on the roof terrace until our room was ready, no sooner was the coffee served we were told our room was ready. Our room was spacious very clean and with a balcony that had great views over the sea , promenade and the mountains behind us. The hotel is tastefully decorated and very clean, the selection for breakfast is faultless and the restaurant menu is very good, too which you can choose to eat on the roof terrace or restaurant. The location is perfect for the beach, shopping and the abundance of restaurants. The railway station is a 25 minute walk from the hotel with various routes including Pisa, Lucca and Florence. The reception staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. We would certainly recommend this hotel based on location, cleanliness, very friendly and helpful staff . Grazie mille Trevor & Louise.

Absolutely love this place. The people have to be the friendliest people in all of Italy. We were running around the coast and a bit of Tuscany for a month and yes, the staff were the best in the country. Clean, comfortable and the breakfast setup was second to none. If in the area, highly recommend staying at the Palace Hotel!

We stayed in this hotel for our first time in Viareggio Italy. The location was conveniently located across from the boardwalk; the room was perfectly appointed; and we totally enjoyed the sunset from the Blu Bar on the roof of the hotel. The staff was also very friendly and helpful, but especially the concierge, Julian, at reception, always had a smile, helped us up the front steps with our luggage, and gave us directions. He made our stay very pleasant. The hotel is fortunate to have him on their staff.

We stayed for 12 days at the Palace Hotel and had a super holiday . As the Palace is close to the railway station travelling to nearby towns Lucca, Pisa, Florence etc. for sightseeing was a simple excursion. The reception staff were very helpful and pleasant. The bedroom was big enough, had a balcony with a side view of the sea and the hotel is in a perfect location to explore all of Viareggio. The food was very good particularly the breakfast buffet, served in a spectacular dining room, and it was a perfect start to the day. The dining room staff were always smiling, cheerful and very friendly.

What a beautiful historic hotel right across from the beach and in the heart of Viareggio. Our room had a huge terrace with a great side view of the beach, sea and boardwalk area. After location, we largely picked this hotel for the rooftop bar. Great drinks and spectacular views. Perfect place to watch the sunset and to end your evening. The buffet breakfast was excellent with tons of choices - eggs, meats, cheese, fruit, pastries, etc. They suggested a very good restaurant around the corner - definitely not touristy at all and filled with Italians. They have an "arrangement" with a beach club in front of them. I'm not sure there was really a deal with this club and the beach club was fine, but there are definitely nicer beach clubs. No complaints with the beach club though but next time I'd check out other options too.

Vastly overpriced and underwhelming. Cannot believe the star rating for this hotel. Breakfast is 7.30-10am, bar open at 5,30 so between these hours there is no where to get a drink. Food in the restaurant is the worst we have ever had in Italy. The room (double room with terrace) for which we paid just over 3100 euros was tiny and oppressive. They give the sq. footage but this must include the terrace! The terrace was dirty and the shower in the bathroom also showing signs of not being cleaned properly for a while. The whole place needs decoration, the carpets in public areas having large stains. No swimming pool which we knew when booking, but to then charge 30 euros per day to use the beach was a bit much. The only redeeming feature was the breakfast.

"Dear Guest, I would like to thank you for having spent some of your time to leave your precious comment on Hotel Palace Viareggio, that will allow us to verify the quality of our services and to approach more and more to your expectations; Customer satisfaction is our a primary goal. Having taken note of your judgment, I am grateful to you for pointing out the shortcomings you have encountered, which is an opportunity to improve our standards with the aim of meeting your expectations during your next visit. we respond to some comments that emerge from your review, the size of the room is clearly written on our site as well as on all booking sites, we do not understand where you may have read that they are different, as well as the swimming pool, nowhere is it written that we have it, it is instead found in the bathing establishment in agreement with us in front of the Hotel. The carpet in the corridors is cleaned regularly every day, unfortunately when customers return from the beach they dirty it again, but we clean it promptly; at the end of the year it will in general be replaced with a type of carpet which will make it easier to keep it clean. In the rooms we have only parquet. Please accept our sincerest apologies for not fulfilling your expectations, in the hope that in the future it will give us the opportunity to show you the professionalism and accuracy of our services."
