Marina Genova is one of the largest marinas in the Mediterranean, with docks hosting boats of every size, from sailboats to superyachts. It's a place worth visiting in its own right, not just a passageway to the city centre, and it's right in front of one of its docks that you'll find Marina Place.
A walk among the docks and superyachts
The simplest way to experience Marina Genova is to walk along its quays, among the moored boats and the venues overlooking the water. The walk is enjoyable in every season, but is at its best at sunset, when the pier lights reflect on the water and the silhouettes of the yachts stand out against the sky. It's an atmosphere reminiscent of the marinas of the French Riviera, just minutes from the centre of Genoa.
Nautical activities and events at Marina Genova
Marina Genova is also a landmark for the city's boating community: it regularly hosts events, sailing gatherings and nautical-themed happenings that bring the quays to life, especially in spring and summer. Even outside these events, it's common to cross paths with crews setting out on or returning from a day at sea, a detail that makes every walk different from the last.
Experiencing Marina Genova from a yacht-view room
For those who want to experience Marina Genova without leaving their room, Marina Place offers Balcony rooms, with a private terrace overlooking the central dock, and the Penthouse Balcony, the hotel's most exclusive panoramic-terrace suite: both allow you to enjoy the view of the moored yachts directly from your room, from breakfast until sunset.
How to get to Marina Genova
Marina Genova is located in the Sestri Ponente district, just minutes from Cristoforo Colombo airport and about 10 minutes' drive from Genoa's historic centre. Marina Place is located right in front of one of its docks, with free parking reserved for guests: the ideal base for those who want to take their time discovering this corner of Genoa.
