The 61-room, upscale Grand Hotel Alassio is a historic and stylish beachfront property with excellent sea views right in the center of the Italian Riviera town of Alassio. Contemporary rooms have light wood accents and a beachy minimalism throughout, plus rainfall showerheads and sea or mountain views. Some rooms have large living areas and balconies or terraces with seating. The stylish, full-service Thalassio Spa offers body treatments plus an indoor saltwater pool, steam room, and sauna, and there are several on-site dining and drinking spots plus a free breakfast. The hotel has a private beach that's open to non-hotel guests for a steep fee, and it can be crowded. Wi-Fi and the kids club are free, but on-site parking costs extra.
