The Grand Hotel Bristol Spa Resort, part of the R Collection Hotels portfolio, has been accepted into Virtuoso’s network of luxury travel partners.

The inclusion places the Italian Riviera property among more than 2,300 high-end suppliers in 100 countries. 

“Virtuoso’s acceptance process is incredibly selective, so becoming a preferred partner is a true honor,” said Riccardo Bortolotti, general manager of Grand Hotel Bristol Spa Resort.

“The reputation Virtuoso member agencies have for outstanding dedication to their clients is a perfect fit with our own bespoke approach to service. Now that we’re part of this renowned network, we look forward to offering Virtuoso advisors and their clients the special amenities, values and experiences that surpass their expectations.”

Located near Rapallo and within reach of Portofino and Cinque Terre, the five-star Grand Hotel Bristol Spa Resort, originally opened in 1908 and renovated in 2023, includes 80 rooms and suites—many with sea views. 

Guests can enjoy a range of culinary options, from the Michelin Guide–recognized rooftop restaurant Le Cupole to a poolside pizzeria and casual bistrot.

The 22,000-square-foot Erre Spa, the largest hotel spa in Liguria, includes modern wellness amenities and sea-view relaxation areas.

The property is owned and operated by R Collection Hotels, a family-run group known for its distinctive luxury accommodations across Italy.
