This modern, mid-range hotel is on the Riccione waterfront in Rimini, a resort area and historic city on the northeast coast of Italy. Sophisticated and stylish, the hotel has an airy, beachfront atmosphere and a nice restaurant with sea views. The 51 guest rooms are cozy and small, but cheerful, with lovely balconies overlooking the sea -- Top Rooms have a more upscale style and nice extras. The hotel does not have a pool or spa. It may be worth comparing rates with the nearby Hotel Feldberg, which is not directly on the beach, but has a pool and fitness center.
Scene
Elegant, with waterfront restaurant
The hotel, perched right by the beach, has a relaxed atmosphere and elegant decor -- cream-colored marble floors, glass tables, and luxe Persian rugs welcome visitors into the lobby. The lobby and restaurant also have gold touches and bright blue accents, bringing out the natural scenery visible from many windows. Guests -- mainly couples and business travelers, some with kids in tow -- relax at the refined outdoor patio looking out at the sea from the entrance area. There's also a chic lobby bar, where clusters of yellow leather chairs complement pale parquet floors, palm plants and cacti, and sheer curtains.
Location
In resort area right by the beach, near the convention center
The hotel has a scenic location in resort-centric Rimini on the sea promenade of Riccione, with beaches just in front of the property. Restaurants and shops dot the immediate area and center of Rimini -- about a 10-minute drive -- and the city's Roman and renaissance-era architecture, such as pretty Piazza Tre Martiri in the historic center, are very accessible. It’s also a good spot for business travelers -- a 20-minute drive from the Palariccione conference center -- and close to public transportation -- less than five miles from Rimini Airport, and one mile from the railway station.
Rooms
Small rooms, balconies with beach views, and luxurious amenities in higher categories
The 51 air-conditioned rooms are small and basic with cheerful decor, including cloud-blue walls setting off plain black bedspreads. The Top Rooms are a bit more luxurious, with rich blue fabrics and a pillow menu (letting guests choose their preferred pillow style), along with coffeemakers, and slippers and bathrobes. All rooms have lovely wood balconies with blue and white tables and chairs, and beach views. There are flat-screen TVs, minibars, safes, and hairdryers. The bathrooms have light-brown tiles in a wave pattern and large stall showers.
Features
Substantial buffet breakfast, elegant restaurant with beach view
Appropriately enough, the hotel offers a free buffet called “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, with plenty of sweet and savory items. There’s an elegant lobby bar and the Panoramic Restaurant faces the sea. The hotel also caters to business travelers, and promotes business lunches and dinners as well as family meals. Room service is available. An all-inclusive package includes sunshades and deck chairs for the beach. There are bicycles to rent and the hotel allows pets. Kid-friendly amenities include babysitting services during meals.
