Hotels in Sanremo: prices, timing and areas

When to book a stay in Sanremo for less

The seaside season drives the price above all. The dearest is summer, at the August peak, when the Riviera beaches fill with holidaymakers and rates run highest. The cheapest comes in winter, in December, when it is quiet and prices fall to their lowest of the year. February stands out on its own, when the city lives for the Sanremo Music Festival and prices can jump sharply despite the winter season. The friendliest time, on price and weather, is outside the peak, from April to June and in September and October. The day of the week matters too: midweek usually works out cheaper, while weekends tend to be dearer. The best rates come from booking about two months ahead, roughly sixty-nine days before arrival. For August and the festival book early, as the seaside hotels sell out fast.

What a stay costs by property type

Sanremo has a wide spread of prices, so a room in a B&B and a suite in a five-star hotel by the sea are worlds apart. The cheapest sleep is in B&Bs and simple rooms in the centre; you pay the most for elegant hotels on the promenade. Below are indicative nightly rates outside the August peak, in the local currency.

Indicative rates for a double room, outside the August peak. Between a quiet December and the height of summer the gap can be wide, and during the February festival prices can jump noticeably, so check the real price for your dates in the search above.

Where a stay is cheaper and where it costs more

The handiest and dearest base is the seaside centre by the Corso Imperatrice promenade, near the beaches, the casino and the restaurants, with sea views. This is where the choice is widest, from B&Bs to luxury. It is cheaper and quieter a bit further from the shore and higher up the hills, with a fine view, but a walk down to the beach. From Sanremo it is easy to head along the Riviera and to the nearby French border. The town itself is walked on foot, and the coast is tied together by the railway line and a seafront cycle path.

Which stay in Sanremo suits whom

• First time in Sanremo. The handiest base is the seaside centre by the promenade, near the beaches, the casino and the restaurants. From here you see everything on foot, with a seafront stroll at hand in the evening.
• For families. Hotels with family rooms near the beach, often with breakfast and a pool. Easy to mix a day by the water with a trip along the Riviera.
• For couples. Elegant hotels and small B&Bs on the promenade and higher up the hills, with sea views. Good for a romantic stay with dinner by the water and a visit to the casino.
• With breakfast. Many hotels include breakfast in the rate, often on a terrace with a sea view. Handy before a day on the beach or a trip along the coast.
• With a sea view. Properties on the promenade and higher up the hills, with balconies and bay views. Best if you want a Riviera panorama from the room.

When Sanremo is more expensive

The dearest time is the height of summer, July and August, when the Riviera beaches fill with holidaymakers and rates climb sharply. A separate jump comes in February, when the city lives for the Sanremo Music Festival, one of Italy's biggest music events, and the central hotels fill with guests and TV crews. The friendliest time, on price and weather, is outside the peak, in spring from April to June and in early autumn, in September and October. The cheapest and quietest is winter, in December, away from the festival.
