Location
The airy perspective of the straight, tree-lined streets and the architecture of the buildings reveal the nineteenth century changes to the city layout made when La Spezia became a base for the Italian Navy in 1869. This recent history can be re-lived at the Arsenale (ship-fitting yard) and the Naval Museum, rich in relics, weaponry and model ships. The hotel faces onto the sea and is very near the railway station (about 1 km) and the port (300 m). As well as offering all the comforts of a stay in the city centre, it is the ideal starting point from which to discover the many natural attractions of the Gulf of the Poets and Cinque Terre. Genoa Airport is around 110 km away.
