This turn-of-the century Liberty style construction has been
painstakingly restored to its original splendor, and now houses 77 cozy,
tastefully-appointed guestrooms, bar and lounge with fireplace,
restaurant, indoor swimming-pool and hot-tub, with plans for the
addiction of a complete fitness centre.
The unique atmosphere of this location, combined with the highly
professional staff and management of the Hotel Portofino Kulm, guarantee
top-notch quality service, creating a perfect balance for both business
and leisure clientele. At 400 meters above sea level, the hotel
Portofino Kulm stands on the crest of the Promontory of Portofino Park,
yet a short drive from the coastal resort towns of Camogli, Santa
Margherita and Portofino.
It was 1905 when the "Kulm" of Mount Portofino Park was crowned with its
first and only hotel, which swiftly became a favorite holiday spot among
royalty, nobles and artists. Total renovation of the hotel was completed
in 2000 when the original Liberty style building was fitted with all the
modern comforts of a luxury hotel.
The imperial Kursaal palace which originally housed the Casino has been
transformed into a magnificent hall which can seat up to 350 people for
meetings, gala events, fashion shows. Respect for environment is a
priority: the hotel is dedicated to maintaining and improving the
ecological equilibrium of the surrounding park.
Well-marked hiking trails lead nature lovers down to San Fruttuoso and
the historical Benedictine Abbey, and the Riviera towns of Portofino and
Camogli. It is on the shores of Camogli where another of the family's
hotels is located. The "Cenobio dei Dogi" is connected to the Kulm by a
courtesy shuttle bus; its private beach can also be enjoyed by guests
staying at the Kulm.
