Bristol Palace

Frommer's Review

The fantastic oval staircase and stained-glass dome of this converted late-19th-century palazzo set the tone for this oasis of comfort and calm in chaotic Genoa. It sits on the main shopping street 1 block off Genoa's main central piazza, halfway between the train station and the tangle of alleys that make up the historic center. Most rooms are modestly sized and carpeted, with a mix of modular and period pieces. A few choice ones along the front, though, are larger and airier, some with marvelous inlaid wood floors and Art Deco furnishings. The range for doubles below reflects a lower rate for the weekends.
