First Look: Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino, Italy

Following a multi-year renovation by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, the Grand Dame of the Italian Riviera reopens for summer 2025 with 52 reimagined rooms and suites, each showcasing Ligurian craftsmanship and antique furniture restored in the Genoese style. The Baronessa Suite features a private-entrance garden, direct pool access and a vast terrace. The saltwater pool is now complemented by lush gardens, while brand-new bar Baratta Sedici channels Riviera glamour with botanical murals and cocktails featuring local flavours. Crowning the transformation, Italy’s first-ever Dior Spa brings indoor-outdoor wellness to the 15th-century monastery-turned-sanctuary, with nature-inspired treatments and a rooftop relaxation terrace offering bay views.
