About this guide

Hotels Genoa is an independent, non-commercial editorial guide. It is not the website of Locanda di Palazzo Cicala, and we do not operate, book, or represent the property in any way.

Why this site exists

hotels-genoa.co.uk was, from roughly 2009 to 2022, the working website of Locanda di Palazzo Cicala, a small hotel and serviced-apartment operation in a historic palazzo in central Genoa, Italy. The domain later lapsed and was not renewed. We recovered the site's real historic content from public Internet Archive Wayback Machine snapshots and have rebuilt it here as an editorial reference — a heritage guide to the building's documented history, its apartments, and the surrounding city — rather than letting the domain sit unused or fall into unrelated hands.

What this site is not

How the content was built

Every factual claim about the palazzo's history, the apartments, room amenities, and the property's own description of itself is drawn directly from its own archived pages (English and Italian), preserved by the Wayback Machine. Where sources disagreed — for example, on the exact year the hotel opened, or the building's exact century — we've said so rather than picking one figure and presenting it as certain. We have not invented visitor numbers, ratings, current prices, or any other detail not genuinely present in the archive. General information about Genoa (landmarks, transport, annual events) is written from a mix of the archived pages and, where flagged, general public knowledge about well-documented public landmarks.
