The Suite
Set in the main building of Splendido Mare, right above Portofino's Piazzetta, the Suite Sea View and Balcony ranges from 31 to 51 sqm and sleeps up to three with an extra bed, in a choice of king or twin beds. A private balcony opens onto the harbour and Castello Brown beyond it, and inside, the same nautical, mid-century sensibility runs through the whole hotel, Murano glass lamps, fabrics from Loro Piana and Rubelli, and vintage furniture by Gio Ponti and Paolo Buffa, paired with a stylish, glamorous en-suite bathroom. For larger stays, the suite can be connected to a Junior Suite to take over a whole floor, and a sliding fence extends the terrace further still, useful for anything from a quiet breakfast to a proper cocktail party above the water.
The Hotel
Splendido Mare sits directly on Portofino's Piazzetta, the harbourside heart of the village, a building that started life as a modest guesthouse for fishermen before drawing in jetsetters like Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner by the 1950s. Reimagined in 2021 by Studio Festen's Hugo Sauzay and Charlotte de Tonnac, its fourteen individually designed rooms and suites are tucked along winding corridors, each with its own character and, in most cases, a harbour view. Guests eat at the hotel's harbourside fish trattoria, then use the complimentary shuttle, or a short walk, to reach the pool, spa, fitness centre, tennis court, and La Terrazza restaurant at the sister Belmond Hotel Splendido on the hillside above, giving Splendido Mare guests the full run of both properties from a base right in the middle of the action.

Suite Collection is a curated collection of beautiful suites at the world's most iconic and unique destinations, complimented with access to the most awe-inspiring and incredible experiences on offer.
We are committed to enhancing your journey, one memorable moment at a time. Our Suite Collection promise to you is that our guests always get our best prices and personalised service that exceed your expectations.
Suite Collection's Tailored Experiences gives you access to the most exceptional multi-day luxury itineraries in the world. From the volcanic landscapes of Iceland, to the ancient temples of Japan and New Zealand' majestic high country, each itinerary has been built on one single promise - deliver nothing short of the absolute pinnacle of what every destination has to offer.
Our Tailored Experiences give you the inside knowledge and access of a seasoned local, knowing exactly where to stay, where to dine and where to go - before you've even arrived.
At Suite Collection, we believe that extraordinary travel should leave the world a little better than we found it. That's the idea behind our Book with Purpose initiative. For every reservation made through our platform, a portion of the proceeds is directed to one of the world's leading non-for-profit charities.
Each month, Suite Collection nominates one of our preferred charities, partnering with our guests to give back to a greater cause.
Once a reservation is confirmed, a member of our team personally reaches out - not with an automated message, but with a genuine conversation to understand the finer details of the trip, anticipate our guests' needs, and shape the experience around them. That might mean arranging a private transfer, letting the property know about a special occasion ahead of arrival or securing tickets to a VIP event - whatever it takes, we're here to help elevate every journey you embark on.
At Suite Collection, we don't do points. Loyalty programmes ask guests to wait and collect - we'd rather listen.
Every stay includes a considered surprise and delight, something chosen because we've taken the time to understand what you actually loves, not because it ticks a rewards-tier box. It's waiting for you when they arrive, not redeemed after the fact. That's the difference: points reward loyalty to a programme. We reward the guest.
