Now Open: Splendido, a Belmond Hotel, Portofino, Rewrites the Riviera Legend
On 7 June 2025, Portofino's most storied hideaway, Splendido, A Belmond Hotel made its much-anticipated grand reopening, entering a new era of splendour following an extraordinary renovation by internationally renowned Martin Brudnizki Design Studio (MBDS). The 16th century Benedictine monastery turned glamorous sanctuary reveals a magnificent reimagination that takes the hotel to new heights. Paying tribute to the building's heritage and reviving the spirit of La Dolce Vita, the hotel showcases the finest Ligurian craftsmanship with a contemporary twist — reaffirming Splendido's status as the legendary Grand Dame of the Italian Riviera. This summer, alongside the beautifully redesigned rooms, suites, pool, and restaurants, Splendido introduces a vibrant new bar, Baratta Sedici, that captures the glamorous spirit of Portofino, as well as the first permanent Dior Spa in Italy. On 29 June, Belmond will also debut Villa Beatrice, a one-of-a-kind, majestic private summer residence overlooking the sea, further strengthening its legacy in Portofino's enchanting enclave.
