Passover

Imperiale Palace Hotel

The five-star Imperiale Palace Hotel is today one of the most outstanding and prestigious hotels in the Ligurian Riviera. It caters to decerning clientele that takes one back to memorable times long gone.

At the beginning of the 1900’s royals, aristocrats, divas and intellectuals came to this splendid Belle époque property on the Italian Riviera for their holiday. Today, a century later, the peace enveloping the private park, the elegance of the historic Liberty style building and the crystal clear water of Santa Margherita Ligure are still all the same. The hotel is still one of the most prestigious hotels in Liguria.

Imperiale Palace Hotel is the ideal getaway for those who seek comfort, elegance and style, a refuge offering high level services in the vicinity of the famous areas such as Portofino, Rapallo, Camogli, Sestri Levante and Genoa. The hotel was originally built as a private villa in 1889 by the aristocratic Costa family of Corsica.

Le Vele Beach Club is widely considered to be one of Santa Margherita Ligure best beaches. It has an intimate atmosphere with vibrant turquoise waters and provides a picturesque setting for relaxing. Luxurious loungers and umbrellas are reserved exclusively for hotel guests. It allows for complete enjoyment under the warm Ligurian sun. The warmed-up sea-water swimming pool, harmoniously combined with the green of the historical park and the amazing view over the bay, offers to hotel guests comfortable ample sun beds to laze on in the sunshine.

The hotels Spa is the place to leave daily routine and stress behind and discover sensations of wellbeing thanks to its highly internationally trained therapists. A unique center for holistic wellbeing, it specializes in combining Asian techniques together with innovative western massages to achieve an optimal state of mind, body, and soul.

The award-winning chefs of the hotel and service-oriented banquet staff will be working in concert with our own outstanding “Kosher Chefs”. They will create a fabulous gourmet culinary experience drawing from the best of Italian, continental and traditional Jewish fare under the Glatt Kosher supervision of Rabbi S. Wilshansky of Milan.
