| Situated in Genoa’s pulsating and hip central district, amidst creative and chic fashion shops, art galleries and a myriad of culinary locations, the modern design hotel Locanda di Palazzo Cicala opened on July 2001 and was immediately characterized by its eclectic and original style. The first boutique hotel in Genoa presents an elegant and inspired fusion of Italian fashion, original minimalist design and noble Italian architecture in a XVII-century building facing the Cathedral. The most important monuments and art museums, as well as the Aquarium and the Old Port, are only a few steps away.
The marvellously quiet guestrooms, ranging in size from 30 to 40 square metres, evoke all the charming magic of the past while offering every modern comfort: air-conditioning, private bathroom, minibar, satellite TV, direct dial telephone, heating, hairdryer and PC with free internet connection or wireless connection. A rich buffet breakfast is included in the room rate.
A vibrant and inviting space, Locanda di Palazzo Cicala is the place to stay for an authentic Genoese experience. |
|
The marvellously quiet rooms, overlooking the picturesque Piazza Scuola Pie, are all on the first noble floor of the Palazzo. Characterized by high arched ceilings with rich stucco work and decorations, our rooms range in size from 30 to 40 square metres.
The interiors, inspired by the canons of contemporary design, mix minimalist lines and sober colours to create an understated elegance that is offset by a few carefully chosen period pieces.
In these rooms of rare artistic and architectural beauty, in addition to all the standard amenities (private ensuite bathroom, minibar, air conditioning), you will find a full suite of technological services: telephone, fax, personal computer, free internet connection, WiFi, satellite TV. |

All the tourist attractions, churches and museums of historic or artistic interest in the old town can be reached in less than five minutes walking through a network of pedestrian streets and piazzas that, along with the area bordering the old town, make up Genoa's main shopping district.
The location is also ideal for the evening, because all the most important theatres and cinemas and popular nightspots are concentrated in the old town. |
