Grand Hotel Palace

A lovely hotel, very clean, staff always helpful and friendly, tasty breakfast! Will definitely return when I have chance to visit Ancona again!

ottimo servizio e rapporto qualita’ prezzo.

That was our 3rd stay at Grand Hotel Palace in 4 years. We keep returning because we love that place. Rooms are clean and spacious, with great view on port of Ancona. Staff is always helpful and breakfast is good. Location makes it easy to walk to nearby city centre and many restaurants.

This hotel is in a great location which is walkable to everything except the train station. We had an extremely large top floor view with a harbor view that was amazing at sunset. What the room lacked in fine finishes it made up for with size and view, including the huge shower with numerous shower head choices. The hotel is affiliated with a winery, so wine was available free in our room as well as in the restaurant. While there were displays in the lobby for wine purchases or tours, we were told that we needed to contact the winery directly. The included breakfast in the lobby restaurant was very good, as was the dinner we had there.

In every way a good hotel. well maintained, modern interior, good breakfast, good and friendly service. Mini bar free of charge and coffee in room. Perfect location in relation to both the center and the cruise terminal. Can be highly recommended.

We stayed at the Grand Palace Hotel in Ancona from July1-5 ,2024 in a suite with a water view balcony based on a Wine Spectator article. This hotel exceeded all expectations in terms of Service, Quality, Value, Cleanliness and Friendliness. The front desk service was friendly, efficient, and helpful. Their dinner recommendations were excellent as were their advice on visits and tours. They went above and beyond by calling our next hotel in Bari and securing us a room a day early. Although we were past our cancellation date, we were not charged for leaving a day early. The entire excellent atmosphere is a reflection on how the Hotel is run and managed. We were fortunate to express this to Paolo the GM. We also visited the associated winery , Umani Ronchi and were blown away by the passion , enthusiasm and knowledge of our guide, Ivan. His knowledge extended to the unique features of the cellars, comparisons with wines of the region and insights on wines worldwide which led to vibrant discussions and comparisons. We enjoyed tastings and chatted in an unhurried environment. We have visited most major wine regions of the world, and Ivan’s passion, knowledge and enthusiasm surpassed all other visits. A certified sommelier, his response to our compliments was that his motto is “kindness and honesty”. We later learnt that there were 3 guides of similar caliber, a tribute to the Bernetti family and the entire operation.

A colleague recommended this hotel; as he knew I was traveling to Ancona on business. The location is great! The front desk staff is happy and helpful. The bartender is my favorite. Rooms are clean! Breakfast is good. Valet parking is always useful. There’s another (nice) hotel down the road where my biz partners were staying - however the Grand Palace is in a more enjoyable location!!!

I spent a few days in the hotel as it was closest to the concert which I was attending. Really comfortable bed and well appointed bathroom. The highlight, however, was the view over the bay watching the ships coming and going. Dinner was very good and at reasonable prices considering the well dressed dining room. All the staff spoke English and were helpful, efficient and friendly. If visiting Ancona again I would certainly stay here.

One of the most amazing hotels in which I’ve stayed in Italy and this is my 14th visit to this spectacular country! Our room was gorgeous (Executive) with every possible amenity. The Wi-Fi was fast. Worry-free valet parking. But the best thing was the exceptional service of every single employee we encountered. Don’t miss this jewel.
