Hotel Metropole

Dogs at breakfast and dinner, with their own soup menu on the side

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A four-star in its own park on the water at Santa Margherita Ligure, with a private beach club, pool and spa. It's one of the few hotels on this coast that writes its dog rules down in full. It suits a small or medium dog whose owner wants to eat with them at the table.

Why it's in the collection

The seafront promenade runs from the hotel into Santa Margherita's harbour in about ten minutes on foot, and the coast road to Paraggi and Portofino starts right outside. Villa Durazzo's gardens are a short walk up from the port.

Best suited for

Small and medium dogs only, up to two small or one medium per room, and no dogs on the beach or at the pool.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Pet pricing

EUR 20, Per dog per day, includes a complimentary dog soup. Cats EUR 8.

Dogs can come to the hotel restaurant, the beach restaurant and breakfast. Tell the maître d' and you'll get a quieter side table. Dogs can move around the shared indoor areas. They aren't allowed on the beach or at the pool because of harbour authority and town rules.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
