Casual and beachy, with open-air feel
The hotel has a casual atmosphere with decor that’s heavy on white and marine blue. The ground floor has windows that can completely open up, giving the restaurant, bar, and lobby an open-air feel. The saltwater pool and hot tub are surrounded by a wooden deck filled with loungers, drawing families and couples on holiday.

Location
Steps from the beach in a tourist area with many hotels
The Luxor Beach is in Cattolica, a small town about 30-minutes south of the center of Rimini. The immediate area has several other hotels, and guests simply exit from the back of the property to reach a lovely wood boardwalk, the sand, and the sea. The Rimini airport is a 25-minute drive or taxi ride away, while the Bologna airport is an hour and a half away.
Rooms
Basic rooms are simply decorated, while suites are more modern
There are 50 rooms of varying style, though most are simply decorated in shades of white and aqua, with white tile floors and plain wooden furniture. The upscale Junior Suite is much more modern, with funky striped fabric on the ceiling and a large soaking tub in the bedroom. The bathrooms are large with big glass-walled stall showers. All rooms come with balconies, flat-screen TVs, minibars, safes, hairdryers, and bathrobes, while luxury rooms have sea views and slippers.
