History
The Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte in Viareggio opened in 1922 as the Select Palace Hotel, a Liberty and Art Deco landmark on the Tuscan Versilia coast. It was developed by Giuseppe De Micheli, with the first floors designed by Goffredo Fantini; in 1925 the architect Ugo Giovannozzi added two further floors.
Renamed the Principe di Piemonte in 1938 in honor of the House of Savoy, the hotel became one of Viareggio's most glamorous addresses. A major 19-month restoration completed in 2004, led by architects Diletta Storace and Nicola Spagni, returned the property to grand-hotel splendor, with themed floors and a rooftop restaurant and pool overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.
