Hotel Metropole

We had a very nice stay at Metropole. The private beach area is well managed and close to the hotel. The gardens are beautiful. The hotel was clean.

An excellent hotel in a very good location near the station within walking distance of the centre of the town. Excellent room, staff and facilities. Breakfasts superb and the evening meal was so good on first night we ended up eating here most nights. Lovely pool with well kept gardens and places to sit in the shade. Beach area and cafe attractive to sit out at and enjoy lunch. Would recommend this hotel to anyone who asked.

Hotel Metropole, a beautiful 4 star hotel that sits on a hill overlooking the Ligurian Sea and its cerulean waters, is a GREAT FIND. Nestled along the edge of the Italian Riviera, this boutique gem offers old world sophistication with luxury. From the minute we walked in the door, we were with friendliness and enthusiasm. Concierge was 5 star. I loved my stay here, and as a travel agent, I will be recommending this hotel for my Santa Margherita bookings. It's a great home base for visiting Cinque Terre and Portofino, and it's a 2 minute walk to the train station. The town center is a 5 minute walk. The spa treatments are 5 star. Do not miss Blue Santa Restaurant when visiting and Trattoria Pescatori (old world charm). The pesto in this area is OUTSTANDING! **If mattresses are too firm, ask for mattress topper and extras pillows. The front desk is very accommodating.

Beautiful gardens wind down to beach area with good swimming and a great informal bar/restaurant overlooking the water. Elegant rooms (mine 112 had a terrace with lovely views across the bay) and smart bathrooms. Excellent quiet aircon. Food very good from wide-ranging breakfast buffet to the beach restaurant to more formal dinner. Staff friendly and helpful including being responsive to questions long before we arrived. We brought our mother in a wheelchair and they made sure she had an accessible room, and they arranged parking for visiting friends. The street behind the hotel has noisy traffic but it fades away as soon as you’re in the property. 5 minute walk into town with good restaurants, shops and ferry to Portofino etc. Highly recommended!

Absolutely love this hotel! Peaceful, beautiful and friendly staff. Perfect location to explore from, close to train station and ferries. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed at Hotel Metropole for three nights in May and used it as our home base while we did excursions to Cinque Terra and Portofino. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our room, room 253, was very nice. We had a beautiful view of the water and the room had a wrap around deck where we could sit and enjoy the weather and the views. The breakfast was good and had a wide selection of various pastries, fruit, eggs, meats and cheeses. We did not utilize the massage services, but we did visit the spa to soak in their indoor pool. They also have an outdoor pool but the weather was still a bit chilly to use the outdoor pool. The indoor pool however was heated and was designed to make you feel as if you were swimming in a grotto. It was really unique and relaxing.
The beach is directly outback from the hotel and the hotel has its own private beach complete with lounge chairs, towels, umbrellas, changing areas and outdoor showers. This hotel was a perfect place to stay, relax and enjoy the region as well as Santa Margherita!

We hosted our Pre Wedding Aperitif at Hotel Metropole to welcome all of our guests traveling from around the world to come to our wedding in Santa Margherita. The aperitif was set up beautifully at the beach terrace, with prosecco, champagne cocktail and non alcoholic drinks catering for all of our guests. The food was also delicious and plenty.

From the moment we reached out to the hotel and to Giulia Ciana, she helped us organise our event beautifully, and even provided a microphone for our family to give welcome speeches.

Everything was perfect!

This hotel is absolutely stunning. Sits closer to one end of town but is a short walk to everything.

We had a gorgeous room with stunning views from the balcony.

The hotel delivered a bottle of Prosecco shortly after our arrival as we were celebrating our anniversary.

The hotel is quiet and is surrounded by beautiful grounds.

We enjoyed cocktails on the patio several evenings.

The breakfast buffet was large and has plenty of options. We felt the coffee was a bit weak compared to everywhere else.

We also ate dinner in the restaurant one night but felt the food lacked flavor and was overpriced for what it was. The dining room also feels a bit outdated.

The room itself was ample. There was a kettle in the room for coffee or tea, and there is also a mini bar. There was ample closet space. The beds were comfortable.

The hotel only had one very small elevator to get to our room on the third floor. We found the elevator to be busy quite often, so many times we had to take the stairs.

The staff was always helpful and nice and they kindly arranged for an early morning taxi ride for us when we left to go to our next location. The hotel staff was kind enough to ask if we wanted a breakfast box to go.

I would definitely recommend this hotel.

While the hotel includes a complex of buildings, it is positioned in a prime location for both Santa Margherita and Portofino. It is best to opt for a room with a golf view if you want to make your experience memorable. The view from the balcony outside is fantastic, notwithstanding the small size of the balcony. The plce is anold building, like most traditional hotels in Europe, that has been very well maintained and equiped with all necessary ammenities. Their cosmetic line leaves a lot to desire and is a total mismatch with everything else which is close to superlative. The gym is very decent for a European hotel. Everything around is within walking distance, including eating and shopping. The included breakfast is outstanding.

Location is great, the view is amazing. The beds are comfortable. The front desk person upon our 4:30am departure made us coffee, water & cookies for travel on our 3 hr train journey. Great checkout!

Le personnel est super agréable

1. Uważny i uśmiechnięty personel
2. Położenie (piękne widoki, blisko do dworca kolejowego oraz przystanku autobusu do Portofino)
3. Prywatna plaża wciąż czynna mimo, że byliśmy już po sezonie - 11-13 października
4. Zagospodarowanie terenu
5. Kuchnia, nakrycia stołów, obrusy, sztućce.. wysmakowane + śniadania na świeżym powietrzu (mimo prawie połowy października było cieplutko i słonecznie przez cały nasz pobyt)
6. Zaskoczenie - bardzo miłe prezenty niespodzianki dla mojego męża, który miał urodziny. DZIĘKUJĘ.
7. Miejsce podobało się również bardzo naszej 10 letniej córeczce.

Buena predisposición del conserje Angelo

Great place, very central and next to the sea. Amazing staff. And have to say the restaurant is one of the best I have tried in a hotel. Exceptionally good.

Facilities were immaculate. Super clean. Gardens really well tended and cared for. Pools and shared areas very clean. Room was good, our bathroom lovely and very clean. beds comfortable. Really enjoyed the spa, outdoor pool and beachside cafe and sun bed area. Location was superb. 2 mins from train station. Under 5 minutes to town centre and ferry. Staff friendly and attentive. Peaceful.

Breakfast on the terrace was lovely, very comfortable room and lovely team.

This is one of the most beautiful hotels in all of Italy! The location on the Mediterranean Sea is breathtaking! My wife always has a wonderful massage with candle at the beautiful spa, and the breakfast and dinner at the restaurant are always spectacular! We return every year and the hotel even grants our request to stay in the same sentimental room! The staff are so incredibly friendly and we feel as if they are a second honorary family to us. Bravo, Hotel Metropole...we'll see you soon! Larry & Caroline
