Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino

Splendido is now open and will close on November 2nd 2026. From the moment guests arrive at Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino, they are swept up in a place of enticing brightness, culture and flair. Nestled in the hillside overlooking the bay, Splendido is an emblem of Portofino’s enduring allure. This is where Mediterranean glamour meets effortless indulgence and stylish sociability: a place for cultivated connoisseurs to lounge by the iconic pool, celebratory cocktail in hand. Splendido began life as a Benedictine monastery, then served as an aristocrat’s summer residence before being transformed into a hotel in 1902.

A rare escape on the Ligurian Coast, the Splendido is connected to sister property Splendido Mare by a scenic walking path and a shuttle service. Most of the elegantly furnished rooms and suites have stunning views of Portofino Bay. Guests can relax by the heated seawater swimming pool, or enjoy an open-air massage in a secluded corner of the hotel's tropical garden. This year, the hotel has consolidated its partnership with Dior: serene tiered gardens overlooking the shimmering Portofino bay will be the setting for two Dior spa gazebos, offering skincare treatments and especially-designed techniques.
