Location

SENIGALLIA

Located on the Adriatic coast, about 40 kilometers from Ancona, Senigallia is one of the most tourist-renowned locations in the Marche region. What attracts tourists to Senigallia is the sea, so clean that it was awarded the Blue Flag, and the famous beach that extends for 12 kilometers, covered in blonde and very fine sand, called “Velvet Beach” for this reason.

HISTORY

The hotel was built between 1966 and 1967, inspired by the design of the façade of a hotel in Istanbul, and it was one of the first buildings in Italy to feature a panoramic lift.

The hotel was completely renovated in the years 2000 – 2001, which marked the acquisition by today’s owners. This renovation also included an additional technical floor dedicated to the hotel’s facilities, and a reinforcement of the underground rooms and foundations, with the construction of an underground garage.
The front side of the building was been expanded with the construction of the breakfast room / restaurant on 1st floor and the terrace.
Both the entrance hall and the reception area were completely redesigned, and the rooms were entirely refurnished to the highest quality standards, using precious marble, high-standard furniture and avant-garde materials, integrated with sophisticated finishes and art objects. In fact, the hotel boasts a collection of over 250 original masterpieces, design items and superb vintage decorations.
