"A 19th-century classic on the Italian Riviera, Grand Hotel Alassio Resort & Spa is neoclassical from the street and contemporary-classic in the rooms — clean lines combine with saturated colors and a design sense that incorporates elements from just about every era between Art Nouveau and the present day. Many of the sea-facing rooms have impressive views, some from private terraces; all are furnished with espresso machines and modern electronics. A Thalassio Medical Spa offers the present-day version of the turn-of-the-century spa cure, and the restaurants serve seafood-based Ligurian cuisine as well as Neapolitan-style pizza." - Tablet Hotels
