Capitolo Riviera, an SLH Hotel

Amazing modern, beautiful hotel. Super stylish design! Super friendly team, which is trying to please in every way. We spent an amazing time with the family there over New Years with a super nice little party! Very well organized with lots of little lovely details. Thank you very much! Best Concierge Simone -with great ideas and advices! Cute little Spa!

My stay at Capitolo Riviera was absolutely magnificent from start to finish. The hotel itself is stunning, a true hidden gem in Genoa that feels both luxurious and welcoming. The customer service was beyond exceptional, especially from Simone on the concierge team. I have never experienced such personal, curated, and thoughtful service in all my travels. Simone went above and beyond, helping me book train tickets, offering brilliant suggestions for exploring the Italian Riviera, and anticipating every need before I even asked. His attention to detail and genuine care made my stay unforgettable. The breakfast was fresh and amazing and the waitstaff is top notch. Loved the dinner at Botanico too. Major bonus points for being just five minutes from the train station as well. Every interaction at this hotel felt first class. From the beautifully designed spaces to the warm hospitality, Capitolo Riviera sets a new standard for excellence. I was truly sad to leave and cannot wait for the day I can return. Simply outstanding in every way!

The Capitolo Riviera is the quintessential definition of small luxury hotel. Every detail was perfect and the were amazing. The architecture is beautiful. The grounds lush. The food at the restaurant and bar were top notch! Our room was immaculate and the bed was so comfortable. Plus it’s a two minute walk into town and a 4 minute was to the promenade on the sea.

I wish I read the 1 star reviews before booking. This hotel is run by a greedy owner who over charges for everything for no reason. Literally someone last year complained about the ridiculous parking fee and demanded it should come with a car wash for its price. I literally said the same thing this year. The shower does not drain and I don’t think they plan on fixing it. What a sham

The whole staff is well trained, friendly and helpful. The structure is modern, recently opened, and the spa and pool area and Gim are just state of the art. The public spaces are perfectly cared for, and quiet. The rooms are modern, with the bathroom with all possible amenities. Lighting is ok and suitable for the morning make up session of a lady! Our room 206 was nice and sufficiently spacious but other rooms were small.

This hotel charged me for items I never consumed and never signed for. They simply decided to put someone else’s bar bill on my room without any proof or authorization. No signature. No approval. No verification. Just a completely unjustified charge pushed onto the guest. This is highly irresponsible and raises serious concerns about the management and integrity of this property. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The service. The food. The VIOLINIST??? Absolutely wonderful! Loved every second. They even gave us lotus flower drinks when we arrived, which were amazing. The room is gorgeous, the atmosphere is incredible, and everything was just perfect — oh my goodness, I can’t recommend it enough!

Our stay at the Capitolo Riviera Hotel was nothing short of exceptional, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! The location is fantastic—conveniently close to the train station, making it a breeze to explore the stunning Riviera. The hotel itself is a modern gem, with sleek, beautifully designed architecture and impeccable landscaping that create a welcoming and luxurious atmosphere. Everything was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. What truly set this hotel apart was the staff. They were incredibly helpful, warm, and went above and beyond to make our stay feel like home. A special shoutout to Simone, who was an absolute star! He organized a boat charter for us, which turned out to be the highlight of our trip—swimming in the crystal waters of Portofino and visiting the sunken statue of Jesus of the Abyss was an unforgettable experience. The hotel also impressed us with their attention to detail, even ensuring our electric car was fully charged and ready to go. In an area where finding a high-quality hotel with exceptional service can be challenging, Capitolo Riviera is a true standout. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! Highly, highly recommend this hidden gem.
