Very nice property with a great breakfast and spa. The staff was very professional. Unfortunately, you could hear guests in the next room as if they were in ours.

Five star well deserved. Most romantic place you could ask for and the history is incredible never the fact that’s it’s a walk from Portofino. A must stay!
02.01.2026 Guest
The location is incredible, the staff makes you feel like at home. The spa is great although there were no sunbeds available for most of the time i was there. The only shortcoming is the breakfast.

Our third stay at this hotel, and each time the experience becomes even better than the last. What truly makes this place exceptional is the sincere, warm, and genuinely caring service — it deserves seven stars, not just five. Thank you for that!👍
The brand-new, world-class spa is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. The location is perfect for visiting Rapallo or exploring Portofino.This is the kind of hotel you naturally want to return to — a place that stays with you. Highly recommended!

We spent a week of our honeymoon here and had a wonderful experience. The staff was professional, attentive, and classy. Our room was comfortable, we received relaxing spa treatments, and enjoyed the hotel sauna & pool. Dream stay at the Excelsior!

The greatest experience I’ve ever had while traveling. The staff is kind, thoughtful, and personable- the amenities are unmatched. I never thought as an international traveler that I would consider visiting the same European location twice but this place has changed my mind. I would gladly spend every vacation here. Giuseppe and Erwan were amazing, and created the kind of environment that every traveler dreams of.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Excelsior Palace! From the moment we arrived, everything felt top notch — the room was elegant and comfortable, the view was breathtaking, and even the robes felt luxurious. The spa and pool were serene escapes, perfect for unwinding, and the entire property was simply stunning.

What truly made the experience unforgettable was the service. Every staff member we encountered was kind, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. It felt like they went out of their way to make us feel special. If you’re looking for a beautiful, relaxing getaway with impeccable hospitality, this is it. We can’t wait to return!

Great hotel and location. The rooms are very nice, especially with a terrace overlooking the sea. The beach club is fantastic. We experienced it from the upper and lower levels. Both spots were great. The lowest level offers seats that can be sprayed by waves. We chose those seats the last day and was the best beach day we had.

The hotel is an overall great experience from check in to check out. We will be back.
05.08.2025 Guest
This place is great. It’s old but that’s the charm. It’s beautiful and unique. The service provided was easily one of the best parts about the stay, everyone was extremely nice and professional. The amenities were amazing, there was like 4 different types of saunas and even 4 different types of showers (who knew?) and being able to jump into crystal blue waters and then order a beer to my pool lounge which was next to the rocks was pretty sick.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
