Belmond Hotel Splendido

I’ve visited the Splendido four times over the years and went back this summer (June 2024). As a lover of the hotel and its spectacular setting, I’ve soured on it as of late. What made the property so special was its charming location and soul, privacy and largely European customer base. But as they have continued to raise prices (now almost $3,000 a night for a very small standard room), the visitors have also changed (now mostly wealthy Arabs and Russians and influencers who prance around taking hundreds of photos). It’s almost become tacky. Many tourists not staying there (mostly influencers) march around the property taking photos for their Instagram, getting in your way at the pool and standing there for minutes getting the perfect shot. It’s certainly not what it used to be and definitely lost its soul.

The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with views that take your breath away. The service staff anticipates your needs before you even realize them. The entire experience feels curated to perfection, making you feel like you're the most important guest in the hotel.

Had dinner overlooking the iconic harbour of Portofino and it was truly magical! Both the setting and the staff were incredible. Overlooking the harbour was breathtaking and I had the time of my life! Thank you Splendido for making my dream come true ❤️❤️❤️

I'm not easily impressed, but this place managed to leave me speechless. The level of thoughtfulness in every aspect of the experience was truly remarkable. It wasn't just about meeting needs, but anticipating desires. The environment was a perfect blend of stimulation and relaxation, energizing and calming in equal measure. I left feeling like I'd discovered a best-kept secret.

Top notch hotel. Pricey but worth it. Nice service, staff has WhatsApp which makes things easy. Very nice food in the breakfast. The view from the room is a dream. Every time I look at the pictures I took from the balcony I think they are unreal 😍 They offer free shuttle to the center almost every 20-30 mins. Room & toilets need an upgrade to match the cost of the room , the luxury service & the dreamy Portofino view !
