Europa Palace
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a 5-star base facing the Casino, 8 minutes on foot from Teatro Ariston, with a spa and attentive staff. Skip it if budget matters, since it costs nearly twice our Best Value pick and parking and wellness extras add more.

Europa Palace is our Luxury pick in Sanremo and the only 5-star hotel among our three. It suits couples and families who want to walk everywhere in town and come back to a full hotel. A spa, a gym, a restaurant, a terrace and family rooms are listed.
Skip it if you are watching costs. The room rate is already well above the city median, and guests say the extra charges for parking and the wellness areas are high. If you drive, that adds up quickly.
Location and getting around
The address is Corso Imperatrice 27. Guests rate the location 9.6 out of 10 and describe it as central, facing the Casino, near the sea and close to pedestrian shopping streets.
Teatro Ariston is 0.6 km away, about 8 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate. Two other sights in our data are in Bordighera: Villa Margherita, Bordighera at 9 km, about 113 minutes, and the Bicknell Museum at 9.1 km, about 114 minutes. Those are far, so plan on public transport or a taxi for a day trip there.
The property lists itself as beachfront. Check what that means in practice, for example whether there is direct beach access and whether it costs extra, before you plan around it.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 790 reviews, joint 1st of 5 eligible properties on review score in the sample we checked.
Location is the first thing guests praise. The staff are the second: friendly, professional and attentive, with a warm welcome. The complaint is about money, but not the room rate itself, which some guests call reasonable. It is the extra charges for parking and wellness areas that people find high.
Price and how it compares with our other Sanremo picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) was €273 per night, against a sample median of €147. It is a reference price, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Hotel Belsoggiorno, our Best Value pick, was €147 per night with an 8.8 score and 3 stars. Hotel Sole Mare, our Budget pick, was €119 per night with an 8.4 score and 3 stars. Europa Palace costs €126 more per night than Belsoggiorno. For that you get two more stars, a spa, a higher score and the Casino location. If you will not use the spa and do not care about stars, Belsoggiorno is the better use of money.
Breakfast options listed are continental and buffet. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 5 hotels in Sanremo. Our Luxury slot goes to five-star hotels first. Europa Palace has 5 official stars, a 9.1 from 790 reviews that shares the top score in the sample, and a 9.6 location score. That combination made it the pick.
Before you book
Ask for the current parking and wellness area fees and add them to your budget. Check spa and gym opening times for your dates. Confirm what beachfront means here and whether beach access is included. Ask whether breakfast is in your rate. If you travel with a pet, confirm the policy directly. Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed, so read the room description and the cancellation policy.
