Owned and managed by R Collection Hotels, the recently redesigned property along the Portofino coast has unveiled new updates as it celebrates its 120th anniversary.
With 80 rooms, including 11 suites, all recently renovated, guests can enjoy views of Portofino and the gulf. Additionally, Michelin-trained Chef Andrea Cannalire will lead culinary operations as the new executive chef, curating the offerings of the F&B venues, including Le Cupole, La Veranda, the Flamingo Pool Bar & Pizzeria and the new Marina di Bardi Portofino Beach Club. What to expect? Fine-dining rooftop restaurant Le Cupole serves a fusion menu of Ligurian and Piedmont cuisine that’s mentioned in the Michelin Guide. La Veranda is a bistro located on the main floor terrace, serving traditional Italian dishes as well as a selection of wines and cocktails. Opened in 2023, the Flamingo Pool Bar & Pizzeria is a gourmet poolside pizzeria.
The Marina di Bardi Portofino Beach Club is set to debut on May 3, offering an exclusive “feet in the water” experience along the Portofino coast. Located within the Grand Hotel Bristol, this private beach enclave provides towel service and personalized assistance from the property’s Beach Concierge.
