Belmond Hotel Splendido is an iconic luxury hotel perched on a hillside above the glamorous village of Portofino. Originally a 16th-century monastery, it was converted into a hotel in the early 20th century and quickly became a magnet for celebrities, royalty, and artists. The hotel is renowned for its impeccable service, elegant interiors, and lush terraced gardens that cascade down the slope, offering breathtaking views of the Portofino harbor and the Ligurian Sea. Guests can dine at the Michelin-starred restaurant, relax by the infinity pool, or explore the nearby boutiques and trails. Even if you're not staying overnight, you can visit for a drink or a meal to soak in the glamorous atmosphere. The hotel's distinctive pink facade and bougainvillea-draped terraces make it one of the most photographed landmarks in Portofino.
