Capitolo Hotel Riviera, a 5-star luxury hotel in Genoa’s Nervi district, is an authentic sea and cultural experience.
Close to the centre of Genoa and to the sea
This unique establishment is the brainchild of three Genoese hospitality professional who were keen to invest in a project that would showcase Genoa and the eastern Ligurian Riviera. The architecture is modern and welcoming, understated yet perfectly integrated into a park, and one of the hotel’s key strengths is its location: Nervi is a district not far from Genoa’s hustle and bustle yet still close to the centre. The hotel is just a stone’s throw from the sea, set in a village that still retains its authentic Ligurian atmosphere, with pastel-coloured houses and a small marina.
Not far from Portofino and the Cinque Terre
Nervi is known for the Anita Garibaldi seafront promenade and for its parks, covering over nine hectares of historic gardens, which combine nature and art thanks to the villas and museums housing prestigious collections. “We are close to Genoa Airport, to the historic centre and to all the city’s attractions. And we are just 30 minutes from Portofino and an hour from the Cinque Terre, which is why our clientele, which is mostly foreign, perceives us as a Riviera hotel and chooses us as a base for visiting Tuscany and Lower Piedmont as well,” explains owner-manager Paolo Doragrossa.
Sustainability is also a key feature in the kitchen
Built in the 1970s the property has recently been renovated and promotes a concept of conscious tourism, implementing solutions for energy optimization and waste reduction through smart energy management systems featuring low-impact and LED lighting, alongside policies to minimize the use of plastic, while local producers and seasonal ingredient are also favoured. And sustainability is also a key feature in the kitchen. Chef Giovanni Astolfoni personally tends the hotel’s vegetable garden, where he grows and harvests aromatic herbs and seasonal produce for use in the Botanico Restaurant which is open for hotel guests and non-residents.
Rooms and suites and a separate events area
Capitolo Riviera has 37 rooms, including three suites, two junior suites and three signature rooms. Completing the offering are 24 Premium rooms with terraces and five Deluxe rooms. The Onde Spa has a sauna, Turkish bath, Kneipp path, an indoor and outdoor pool with a whirlpool, two treatment rooms and a gym with Technogym equipment. Special facilities also include a golf simulator that, thanks to advanced technology, allows guests to choose from a wide selection of international courses, refine their swing and monitor their performance. The events area is completely separate from the hotel, on some 100 sqm with large windows that flood the room with natural light. Equipped with a 100-inch screen and a Yamaha sound system, it is ideal for hosting corporate events, can be divided into two smaller rooms and has a large outdoor area for the exclusive use of the event venue for catering purposes.
