Amenities include a restaurant and access to an adjacent hotel (for a fee)
Trattoria Tralalero is a traditional Genoese trattoria featuring local cuisine. Red-checkered tablecloths line the tables and the walls are painted a rust color. Most noticeable is a fabric canopy lining the ceiling that resembles the sails on a boat. Due to a deal the owner has with the Grand Hotel Savoia, guests benefit from a few of the other hotel’s facilities (for a fee). This includes a fitness center, spa, meetings rooms, and the Salgari Restaurant. Unique views of the historic center of Genoa can be seen from this hotel's terrace.
