Best Western Hotel Metropoli
A 3-star hotel facing Piazza delle Fontane Marose, a square ringed by 16th-century palazzi, immediately adjacent to the UNESCO-listed Via Garibaldi “Strade Nuove”.
The Best Western Hotel Metropoli sits right on Piazza delle Fontane Marose in Genoa's historic centre, at the edge of the UNESCO World Heritage Via Garibaldi — the same "Strade Nuove" of Renaissance and Baroque palaces documented in our own landmarks guide. From this position it's within easy walking distance of the Teatro Carlo Felice opera house, Palazzo Ducale, and the Genoa Aquarium down at the old port.
The hotel occupies a historic-centre building that has been fully renovated, with modern rooms featuring 32-inch LCD TVs, walnut furniture and parquet floors — a contemporary interior behind a period façade, a combination fairly typical of hotels in this part of Genoa. It is part of the Best Western group, and reportedly around 1km from both of Genoa's main railway stations, Genova Principe and Genova Brignole, making it a practical base for exploring the city on foot.
We mention the Hotel Metropoli here as a genuine, independently-operated hotel worth knowing about if you're researching places to stay near Palazzo Cicala and Via Garibaldi — this guide has no relationship with the property.
