Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The Palace Hotel doesn’t have its own swimming pool, but being just 50m from the shoreline you’re moments from Viareggio’s inviting, gently shelving sand and the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea. Between May and September 2025, guests benefit from entrance to La Pace beach club with two complimentary deckchairs and a parasol included – ideal for long, lazy days by the water.

The surrounding promenade is dotted with additional private beach clubs offering changing cabins, bars and services if you’d like to upgrade your beach experience locally.

Spa, sports & wellness


This is a relaxed, heritage-style hotel focused on atmosphere and location rather than a long list of resort facilities. There’s no dedicated spa or gym on site, but the rooftop terrace offers a beautiful space to unwind with sea and mountain views.

Around the property you’ll find:

• Panoramic roof terrace with seating and bar service (seasonal opening)
• Classic lobby lounges for reading or a quiet coffee
• Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel
• Reception with luggage storage and concierge-style assistance for local restaurants, taxis and excursions

If you’re looking to be more active, Viareggio’s seafront promenade is perfect for jogging or cycling, and local operators offer sailing, boat trips and watersports in season.

Activities


While Palace Hotel Viareggio is more about relaxed seaside living than structured activities, its location makes it easy to fill your days. Options in and around the hotel include:

• Strolling or cycling along Viareggio’s palm-lined promenade
• Beach days at La Pace beach club with included loungers and parasol (seasonal)
• Evening aperitivo on the panoramic rooftop terrace
• Exploring local boutiques, gelaterie and lounge bars within minutes’ walk
• Day trips by train or car to Pisa, Lucca, Pietrasanta or the Cinque Terre (independently arranged)

Entertainment programmes are minimal – this is a great base if you prefer to set your own pace and sample Tuscan life like a local.
