Hotel Continental in Genoa is a 4-star, historical establishment located in the old part of the city, near the Principe Station, the Aquarium of Genoa, the Children's City (la Città dei Bambini) and the Magazzini del Cotone conference centre. The hotel boasts a restaurant, a garage, a splendid view of the Port of Genoa and the famous Lanterna lighthouse. The hotel, which was completely renovated in 2002, is within walking distance of the city¿s main points of interest: the Palazzo Ducale, the Carlo Felice Theatre, the universities, Palazzo Lauro and the Galata Sea Museum. A short taxi ride connects the hotel to the Genoa Exhibition, Brignole Station and Genoa's Cristoforo Colombo airport. The Continental Hotel is part of the Planetaria Hotels Chain. The ¿Novecento¿ restaurant offers a refined, elegant setting with padded armchairs and a charming fireplace. It proposes a traditional menu, offering tasty Ligurian food as well as a creative International menu. There are 44 rooms, all with a view of Principe Station and the Port of Genoa. The floors are in light-coloured parquet, furnishings are in precious wood, and all fabrics date back to the typical shapes and colours of Italian Liberty style. A recent architectural renewal project has brought the original recesses of the window bays and the antique stuccoes in plaster back to the light of day. Some of the rooms feature characteristic ¿bow windows¿ with three panes that overlook one of the most famous squares of Genoa. The rooms are fitted with all the amenities needed for a cosy night¿s sleep and a pleasant stay.
