Family-Friendly Hotels Near Sanremo's Casino

Royal Hotel Sanremo sits on the seafront promenade within 16,000 square metres of tropical gardens, space that children rarely get in a town-centre hotel. The large outdoor pool and sun terrace fill the days, and in summer the partner beach across the road adds changing huts and loungers. Parents can use the wellness centre with sauna, hot tub and Turkish bath, and there is a tennis court. With 1,373 reviews averaging 9.2, I would choose it for families who want a classic resort by the sea in Sanremo.

Europa Palace is a five-star resort in Sanremo with direct access to the beach, which makes days with children much easier to organise. Family rooms give everyone space, and sea-view rooms with balconies are worth asking for. When the beach has had enough, the spa and wellness center offers a sauna, a hot tub and a fitness area for parents, and the terrace is a calm place to regroup. Guests rate it 9.1 from 708 reviews, an excellent score.

Hotel De Paris Sanremo is a four-star Art Nouveau hotel within a short walk of the city centre, which keeps outings simple with children. Rooms are spacious, with wood floors and modern amenities, so families are not cramped. The real bonus for a seaside stay is the partner private beach, and parents can take turns in one of the two private spa areas. It is a calm, elegant base rather than a resort. Guests rate it 9.0 from 626 reviews.

Hotel Eletto is a three-star hotel in Sanremo's historic centre, a short walk from the main harbour and the beaches, which keeps family outings on foot. Rooms are modern and air-conditioned, with a minibar and a TV, and some look over the elegant shopping streets. The garden gives children a little outdoor space, the restaurant serves local and Italian dishes, and private parking helps families arriving by car. Guests rate it 8.8 from 573 reviews, a very good result.

Best Western Hotel Nazionale stands on Sanremo's busiest shopping street in a 19th-century building, and its rooftop terrace is the reason I would pick it: breakfast is served up there with panoramic views of the Ligurian Sea, and a hot tub on the same terrace gives parents a break in the evening. Rooms are spacious and air-conditioned, with tea and coffee facilities. The elegant restaurant serves Ligurian cuisine. With 1,640 reviews averaging 8.7, it suits families who want the town centre on the doorstep.

Hotel Alexander & Spa occupies an Art Nouveau building with a garden, where the continental buffet breakfast is served in season. For families, two details stand out: a self-service laundromat for longer stays, and a short walk to both the beach and the Via Matteotti shopping street. Air-conditioned rooms are split between the main house and an adjacent annex, and parents can book time in the spa. With 1,953 reviews averaging 8.6, I would choose it for a family week by the sea in Sanremo.

Hotel Belle Epoque is a historic building from the late 1800s, so the draw for a family is the setting rather than a long list of facilities. Free Wi-Fi and a continental buffet breakfast are included, and the sea and the Ariston Theatre are close, with Sanremo's shops and restaurants nearby. No pool or play area is listed, so I would suit it to families with older children who enjoy a central, characterful stay.

Hotel Villa Levi offers family rooms with sea views in Sanremo, and the beach is about a three-minute walk away, so children can go back and forth without planning. Breakfast covers continental, buffet, Italian and gluten-free options with fresh juice, cheese and fruit. The garden and sun terrace give younger guests space outdoors, while the bar and lounge suit parents in the evening. With 1,976 reviews averaging 8.6, I would book a sea-view family room here for an easy beach stay.

Hotel Paradiso has been family-run since 1926, and it pairs a large summer swimming pool with a private beach a short stroll away, which gives children two options every day. The 600-square-metre garden offers shade, and the American bar serves drinks on the terrace and by the pool. Breakfast is a rich buffet, and the restaurant serves Mediterranean and regional cuisine. Many spots in the hotel have panoramic sea views. With 1,268 reviews averaging 8.5, I would book it for a summer family stay.

Villa Sylva & Spa is an 18th-century villa just outside central Sanremo, 350 metres from the Ligurian Sea, and its private garden gives children a quiet outdoor space between beach outings. The wellness centre is the adult draw, with a hot tub, Turkish bath, sauna, sensory showers and herbal teas in the relaxation area. The restaurant serves local Italian cuisine, and some rooms have balconies with sea views. With 1,408 reviews averaging 8.4, I would choose it for families who want a calmer base near the sea.

Eveline Portosole Hotel faces Marina di Portosole in Sanremo, and its individually designed rooms include some with a small private pool or a balcony over the garden. For families, the location matters most: the long pedestrian promenade is steps away, and the public parks of Villa Ormond and Villa Zirio are close for a run around. An 8.4 score from 249 reviews is reassuring. I would ask for a room with a private pool if travelling with children who love the water.

Hotel Sole Mare is a family-run hotel in central Sanremo, and the beaches are a two-minute walk away, with discounts at a nearby beach club that help on a long family holiday. Many rooms look straight at the sea, some with balconies, and all have air-conditioning and parquet floors. The cycling path along the coast starts 20 metres from the door, easy for an evening ride with children, and the old town, the harbour and the Ariston Theatre are close. With 1,363 reviews averaging 8.4, I recommend it.

Hotel Liberty occupies a 19th-century villa set in a floral garden, a welcome open space for children after a day in town. Some rooms look out over the Ligurian Sea, and a daily buffet breakfast takes care of the morning. I find the location practical for families who prefer to walk: the San Remo marina and the Ariston Theatre are both easy to reach. As a simpler two-star, it suits a budget-minded stay, and an 8.4 score from nearly 950 reviews is reassuring.

Hotel Villa Sophia sits right on the Sanremo beachfront, a short walk from the centre, with direct access to a partner private beach, which keeps beach days simple with children. The inner garden, shaded by palms and centuries-old trees, is a cool place to rest at midday. Rooms are bright and classically furnished with air-conditioning, and the restaurant serves Ligurian cuisine, best booked in advance. With 1,329 reviews averaging 8.3, I would choose it for families who want the beach and a garden in one place.

Hotel Villa Maria was once a nobleman's house in a quiet residential part of Sanremo, and the renovation kept its ceiling frescoes and real wood floors. Surrounded by greenery, it is calmer than the seafront hotels while staying close to both the centre and the sea, which suits families who want quiet evenings. Rooms and suites have classic décor, and the spa and wellness area gives parents a restful hour. With 1,111 reviews averaging 8.3, I would book a suite here for a relaxed family stay.

Hotel Principe is built around family rooms with sea views, air-conditioning and private bathrooms, which makes it a practical choice for parents. A seasonal outdoor pool, a sun terrace and a garden give children space outdoors, and an open-air bath adds a quieter option. The restaurant serves varied cuisines, including vegan and gluten-free dishes, which helps with fussy or restricted eaters. I would count the pool as a summer feature only.

Hotel Marinella sits directly on Sanremo's marina, between the town's two harbours, and many of its air-conditioned rooms have balconies over the Ligurian Sea, a good spot for children to watch the boats. Teatro Ariston and the railway station are a short walk away, which suits families arriving by train. The hotel's restaurant is in a separate building nearby and serves Ligurian specialties with sea views. With 1,420 reviews averaging 8.0, I would ask for a sea-view balcony room here for a simple family stay.

Hotel Globo Suite sits on Sanremo's main pedestrianised shopping street, next to Piazza Colombo and the Ariston Theatre, so families can walk out without watching for traffic. Rooms and suites are spacious with Art Nouveau design, and some have private terraces with city views, useful for a family needing more room. The sweet breakfast buffet starts the day, the restaurant serves local and Italian cuisine, and the beach is a short walk away. With 1,268 reviews averaging 8.0, I would ask for a suite with a terrace here.

Sanremo's Grand Hotel & des Anglais Spa works for families because meals are easy to plan: the restaurant lists vegetarian, gluten-free and children's dishes at dinner, and the sweet and savoury buffet starts the day. The beach is a short walk away, and some classic rooms have balconies over the Ligurian Sea. Parents can book time in the spa. With 2,191 reviews averaging 7.9, I would choose a sea-view balcony room here for a calm family stay on the Riviera.
