- A well-established hotel set in its own subtropical park with splendid sea views

With splendid views over the sea, it is set back only 200 metres from the promenade and the sandy beach, and approximately 500 metres from the centre of Sanremo, where its famous liberty-style casino and range of fashion boutiques can be found.

About the location
Sanremo is one of Liguria’s most exciting cities, combining Italian Riviera glamour with a lively entertainment scene. From hundreds of dining options to live music events and dramatic cycling festivals, Sanremo has an all-round appeal that makes it a prime choice for a Ligurian holiday. Spread between a bustling seafront and a centro storico set into the hillside, the city boasts an impressive number of attractions, including the famous Pista Ciclabile. This coastal cycle and hiking route is entirely free from traffic and follows the pathway of an abandoned railway as it winds more than 12 miles along the coast to Imperia. There are some great historical sights here too, including a remarkable 20th-century Russian Orthodox church and an atmospheric old town ripe for exploring. If you fancy a bit of relaxation, the city also features a beautiful sandy beachfront.
Sanremo offers up plenty in the way of dining options. The best establishments are generally situated along the roads leading from the seafront, and range from high-end restaurants with enormous and sophisticated menus, to traditional osterie serving just a few daily specials alongside local drinks. We highly recommend trying the local speciality known as sardenara – a focaccia-like pizza dish often flavoured with onion and sardines.
When it comes to exploring the area, Sanremo provides a great position from which to explore the coastline, with Imperia being an easy drive away and the French resort of Cannes situated one hour by car from the city centre.

We went with two boys aged 11 and 13. The rooms were small for family of 4, so we had to have 2 rooms. The view from the patio for breakfast was amazing. The pool area was also very nice and fun for kids. Adults tried the relaxation area (hot tubs, sauna, steam, etc.) and it was a very cool experience and relaxing. Only draw back for me was the location beside the busy road. You had to cross road to get to beach and it was sometimes challenging to cross. I also found that there was limited information about beach at check in. We would have liked to have gone to beach but there was some confusion about where to check in for beach, get towels, etc. Otherwise it was a terrific stay and a hotel with luxury but also some personality.

This 100 old Palace is been lately reshape and modernised. Rooms are large and clear . The location is nice most rooms have a see view.. Unfortunately between the Hotel and the sea there is a very busy road with 24 hours traffic.very noisily. Forget the sea beach, dirty, water not clear specially in the busy summer months.
The swimming pool is nice but very busy. The kids Club is nice and they take children from 09:00 to 20:00..
The restaurants are nice and if you like fishes and sea food l recommend them.

“ Musica Dolce, Maestro Nello Cuppone

Every summer when we are in France, we make an excursion to the Royal Hotel in Sanremo for several days to savor the beauty, gentility and grace of time that stands still. From the Gio Ponte designed pool to the vintage Murano chandeliers, we are transported to days of la dolce vita. Amazing food, ambience and service - and let me make special mention of the breakfast that is truly a feast in the most splendid of breakfast rooms. But what really rests in our souls is the musical genius and warmth of the nightly pianist Maestro Nello Cuppone. I must digress a bit. We are music lovers and my husband was a Broadway performer/singer for many years so we know music in a deep and critical way. Maestro plays random pieces for those who rush through the evening lobby and may hardly notice, but when he has an audience then the real performance begins. Ask him in particular about Italian music and the amazing musician that he is comes out to play. We are particularly fond of Italian music of the 50's thru '70's - the songs of the Dolce Vita of our youth and Maestro has stories about the personas of those times and of the lyrics. He transports you to gentler, sexier and more evocative days in so many ways. And suddenly a crowd gathers, and yes, we ask for Volare and sing it all together as though we have never heard it before!!! Once on the terrace of the Villa d'Este I told the pianist that I did not come to Italy to hear New York, New York or Andrew Lloyd Webber!!! I am not sure that the Royal Administration understands what a treasure they have in this musician. I realized this summer when we wanted to take Signore Cuppone to dinner, that Maestro does not have even one night off in his schedule. Please guard and do not overwork this treasure - he, like the Royal Hotel itself, are the last of their kind!
