Overview

The Palace Hotel stands on the promenade of a Tuscan coastal town, looking across a wide, sandy beach to the Mediterranean Sea. Built in the early 20th century, the hotel has retained an elegant appearance with chandeliers and long drapes hanging in the hotel reception and banqueting hall. Some of the 75 air-conditioned guestrooms have balconies and all include minibars, cable television and wireless Internet. All come furnished with original 1960s and Art Nouveau furniture.
Guests can enjoy a drink on the roof terrace while admiring the views over the Mediterranean coastline, and listening to live piano music during the summer months. The hotel also has a small, candlelit restaurant serving traditional Tuscan fish dishes. A conference room and small meeting room benefit business guests, and wireless Internet access is available for those who wish to keep in touch with friends and family. Staff at the 24-hour front desk can arrange bicycle hire and offer guidance on sightseeing and tours around Tuscany. Viareggio's main shopping area is less than a kilometre from the hotel and there are several attractions nearby, including Torre del Lago, home of the Puccini Festival, 8.5 kilometres away, and the Versilia Golf Club, 12 kilometres from the hotel. Further afield, the towns of Pisa, 26 kilometres away, and Lucca, 28 kilometres away, are easily accessible from Viareggio by bus or train. Pisa International Airport is 26 kilometres from the hotel, around car.

Palace Hotel Viareggio

A short guide to Viareggio

This classic seaside resort on Tuscany’s Riviera della Versilia is still a fashionable watering hole with lively clubs and cafés. Viareggio enjoyed its heyday during the 1920s, when the ornate Liberty- style (Art Nouveau) villas sprang up along its palm-lined promenade and the grid of streets behind. Broad, dune-backed beaches, a harbour filled with fishing boats and luxury yachts, and its flamboyant Shrovetide carnival attract the crowds.

"Great Location - oldskool comfort"  by D from Dublin

My wife and I stayed in the Palace last week and we really enjoyed it there. It was a last minute booking as we only ecided to finish our tuscany holiday in Viarreggio at the last minute. The hotel is quite a 1920's themed/styled hotel but is certainly very comfortable and tastfully done, rooms have very high ceilings (approx 15 feet), with an entrance hall, and bathroom with each room so plenty of space. We booked just a standard double room. Beds are extremely comfortable and for a 7euro surcharge we got breakfast delivered to the room on a trolley which included juices, pastries, cold meat/cheese assortment, tea/coffee. There is a lovely rooftop terrace with breathtaking views of the sea and saves you the 15euros of paying for a sunbed across the road on the private beaches. also the friendly waitress supplied us with refreshments on the terrace all day aswell and the drinks were reasonably priced. The location of the hotel was excellent - right in the middle of the long coastal road in viareggio and right opposite alot of the better restaurants along the strip. Be sure to park your car around the side of the hotel on the left hand side of the road (its free on that side) or if you cannot get parking here drive along the road behind the hotel - it is free on-street parking under the tree-lined road there also. Otherwise you can get a 24-ticket for 7euros from the hotel.
