Relaxing on one of the gorgeous terraces, it is easy to appreciate why the likes of Edward and Mrs. Simpson, King Hussein of Jordan, Rita Hayworth and Ernest Hemingway spent many holidays at this gracious hotel. The Excelsior Palace commands a delightful hillside position, nestled amongst luxuriant vegetation and graced with enchanting sea views from every aspect. This is the coastline that inspired writers of great literature and the hotel itself is steeped in history - the seat of the first great Italian casino, it has been lovingly restored to its turn of the century glory. Elegant grandeur, world class facilities, and the unique charm of the Portofino coast combine to make this a truly memorable location.
