Second time staying at this beautiful property. What a treat to stay at this perfectly preserved beachside resort. So elegant! Front desk told us it’s all original to the early 1900’s and it’s wonderful. Breakfast buffet is superb. Dinner menu changes every night and we enjoyed dining in 2 of our 3 nights there as the menu, service, and food is better than anything across the street at the beach. Lunch by the pool is no exception to the fabulous food and service. The hotel, and area in general, had a Studio Ghibli vibe - antique and old world infused with modern amenities. We pulled up “Kiki’s Delivery Service” on Netflix and snuggled together watching it our first night. If you know, you know. If you don’t, watch the charming movie!

Need to make the elevator less scary.... I did not use it after the first time , I was on the 5th floor and the elevator dropped 10-12 inches at the top. Decided to use all 124 stairs instead.

Beautiful hotel with exceptional service!

This hotel is AMAZING! Beautiful building in a prominent position looking out to the beach with gated parking; it has a grand presence both inside & out. Lots of options for rooms with a sea view, some with a balcony. Helpful staff (we saw a lot of Alfredo on the main desk & he was brilliant!), everything was clean & the food fantastic. Breakfast was a large buffet catering for different dietary requirements plus a la carte options if preferred. There was a separate bar serving cocktails; & a further dining room where we were well looked after for evening meals. Out back is a garden & pool open during high season. Everything is reasonably priced & no hidden extras. We'll be going back!

Fantastic Location & Service - Highly Recommended

We honeymooned in Viareggio 20 years ago and returned for our 20th anniversary last week. On arrival at the Grand Hotel Royal, the Receptionist said they’d upgraded us to a room with a balcony facing the seafront, which was really lovely….each evening we sat on the balcony, drinking a glass of wine before dinner and watching the world go by. Throughout our stay, the staff were all really helpful and friendly, the food was excellent (except for the steak) and the peaceful swimming pool and bar area is like a secluded oasis, surrounded by trees that block out the neighbouring building. If we ever return to Viareggio, we will definitely stay at the Grand Hotel Royal again!
