HISTORY
Hotel Bristol Palace is an elegant Art Nouveau building, one of the best known structures of Genoa. Since the early twentieth century it has been the heart of cultural life of the city during the Belle Epoque; it hosted parties and banquets of high society, and today, thanks to a careful restoration work, it has returned to its former glory.
The hotel is linked to the name of Alfred Hitchcock, who was a frequent guest. According to a legend, he was inspired by the impressive elliptical staircase of this marble palace which then appeared in his film "Vertigo". In fact, the great director was one of the patrons of the hotel, he had stayed there already in 1925, when he made his first film "The pleasure garden".

Built between the late 1800s and early 1900s, Via XX Settembre is a series of elegant buildings, aand the Bristol Palace is among them. Since its opening in 1905, the Bristol has been considered one of the most prestigious hotels in the city: the high society of Genoa chose it as the setting for sophisticated and legendary parties and an exclusive restaurant.
Its reputation did not not save it from the upheavals of history: during the Second World War, the Germans occupied it as their headquarters, building a secret tunnel to the port of Genoa. Then, after the war, the Italian Committee for the Liberation of Northern Italy made it their headquarters.

Beautifully restored, today it retains its original structures and precious furnishings. In fact, in March 2014, with the efforts of Duetorrihotels Group, extensive renovations gave it back the former Nouveau and Art Deco glory: precious objects and furniture of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century came back to life. Today you can admire the sumptuous lounges Napoleon III, marble floors and walls in the banqueting and conference hall, the original ancient floors in the conference rooms and Giotto's Restaurant, where you can dine surrounded by stuccoes and frescoes. Sala Michelangelo, an old reading room of the hotel, preserved the large mirror, sconces on the walls and the central chandelier, a testimony to luxury that surrounded the important guests of the Hotel. It is proved by the images of time in the Grand Bristol Hôtel de Genes Guide, a precious book in French, one of Illustres Reynaud Guides.
