—
Le Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino, reopens its doors on 7 June 2025 following a meticulous three-phase restoration, marking an exciting new chapter for this legendary symbol of Italian glamour on the Ligurian coast.
Masterfully redesigned by Martin Brudnizki Studio, the refreshed Le Splendido Portofino captures the vibrant spirit of the Italian Riviera. Sun-drenched interiors, noble materials, and a colour palette inspired by the Mediterranean landscape create an atmosphere of effortless elegance.
Throughout the hotel, bespoke Italian-crafted furniture, original frescoes, and traditional ceramics present a narrative of timeless beauty and modern sophistication, an homage to Liguria’s rich textures and artistry.
Highlights for the 2025 season include:
A fully restored main building showcasing Ligurian craftsmanship and architectural heritage.
A reimagined Terrazza Bar, offering signature cocktails with sweeping panoramic views of Portofino and the coastline.
The debut of Dior Spa Splendido, the first Dior spa in Italy, nestled within the hotel's lush Mediterranean gardens.
Exclusive culinary collaborations at La Terrazza and Splendido Grill, celebrating the finest Italian flavours and local produce.
Also launching July 2025, the newly restored Villa Beatrice, a standalone private residence within Splendido’s gardens, offers an intimate escape where neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau architecture meets Riviera artistry.
Formerly known as Villa Odero, this early 20th-century masterpiece, has been reimagined by Martin Brudnizki. Villa Beatrice features five beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a secluded cottage nestled among citrus trees. With overlooking views of the sea, it can accommodates up to ten guests.
With Splendido’s grand reopening, Belmond Hotel reaffirms its enduring philosophy: celebrating place, tradition, and design in great harmony.
