Hotel Laurin is a 4-star hotel located directly on the sea in Santa Margherita Ligure, Liguria, with a panoramic terrace overlooking the Gulf of Tigullio.
The rooms, spread across three floors, keep a classic style with wooden furniture and floors; all are equipped with air conditioning, minibar and satellite TV, and almost all offer a balcony or terrace with sea view. The range goes from the cosier single room to the apartment with separate living room and two bathrooms, designed for families or small groups.
Among the facilities, the fitness centre stands out, along with a 24-hour reception and free WiFi in all areas. Breakfast, served every morning, offers homemade cakes and local specialities, while the Da Alfredo restaurant, located inside the property, is dedicated to fresh fish and Ligurian cuisine. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the railway station and a few minutes’ drive from Portofino, making it convenient both for those arriving by train and for those who want to explore the coast by car.
Hotel Laurin offers eight types of accommodation, from the more compact single room to the apartment with living room and two bathrooms for larger groups. Most of the rooms face the sea with a balcony, patio or terrace, while some more affordable options look onto the garden or inner courtyard. All rooms feature air conditioning, minibar, flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with toiletries, ensuring a consistent standard throughout the property.
The main differences concern the size, ranging from 12 to 35 square metres, the view and the bed type, often configurable on request between a double bed or two single beds. The Quadruple Room and the Triple Room add sofa beds or futons to accommodate families, while the Apartment with Terrace and Sea View stands out for its separate spaces and two bathrooms, ideal for longer stays or groups wanting more independence.
