We didn't know what to expect - and were truly impressed from our first step into this hotel.
The Lolli Palace is 120 years old: grand and elegant from the outside while nside it is undergoing a multi-year refresh with outstanding results.
They have done a beautiful job of preserving the historical details (stunning) mixing in elegant, modern furnishings and facilities.
The lobby sets the tone: historical posters and photographs show its history, the plaster work has been redone to perfection - but the couches, coffee tables, bar area all say 21st C.
Staff welcome was excellent, questions were answered quickly.
We got one of their smallest room (334) beautifully redone and so intelligently designed it was comfortable for the two of us (and my husband is 6'3"!) The bed, bedding, bathroom all first class, providing a sense of pampering. The room safe is large (a nice touch) and there is a discreet room frig. Shower had great pressure.
They have a rooftop deck but it was closed in Winter. There is a 1st floor deck that is open and nicely arranged with a view of the Russian church.
The location could not be better: you are right on the Promenade, a block from the pedestrian walkway that meanders through Sanremo or you can walk west along the beach front and the many waterfront restaurants.
Equally convenient for exploring the historical neighborhoods of Sanremo.
All in all a very pleasant stay we will happily repeat!
