Hotel Miramare Sestri Levante

High vaulted ceilings and
colorful stained glass adorns the small, modern lobby, which has a few antique patterned chairs for seating. There are plenty of relaxed places for guests to unwind throughout the hotel, including the elegant
Bellavista Room, which has a contemporary white rug over hardwood floors with white couches
and a fireplace creating a cozy ambience. Arched windows make the space bright
and there is vibrant classic art on the walls. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the
polished Restaurant Baia del Silenzio offer excellent sea views while the
contemporary Karma Bar is crisp white-and-dark-wood space, with twinkling track
lighting over a dark bar topped with tan marble. A glass ceiling and glass walls
encompass the panoramic terrace, which has marvelous water views as well as an
outdoor wicker seating area. Guests here are mostly couples, though a few families pass through as well.
