Wondering where to stay in Turin? Well, you can do no better than the Principi di Piemonte. This is why...
Whether you are planning to spend Christmas, Easter, or any other time of year in Turin, you'll find this hotel is absolutely perfect, set right in the heart of the main shopping and nightlife area of Turin.
Don't just take my word for it - check out what previous guests have said.
Turin does not have anywhere near as many luxury hotels as Venice or Rome, but the Principi di Piemonte stands out as the most appealing option in the city, and it offers far better value than anything in Venice or Rome.
Before I started this website, I worked for a major logistics company in Turin, and this was the hotel we always chose for our guests who were visiting from across the world. Over the course of the eight years I worked in Turin, every single one of our guests raved about this hotel.
Located in the heart of the city, the Principi di Piemonte offers easy access to some of the most remarkable sights and experiences in Turin. From here, you can easily explore Turin's many landmarks and attractions, including the Royal Palace, the Mole Antonelliana, and the Egyptian Museum. A short stroll away is the old town of Turin, and on your doorstep you'll find plenty of excellent restaurants and historical cafes, serving up traditional Piedmontese cuisine.
Okay, so what about the hotel itself?
Well, once you step through the door, you'll be welcomed by the hotel's understated elegance and sophisticated decor. In true Turin style, it exudes a sense of refined luxury without being overly flashy or ostentatious. The lobby is spacious and beautifully furnished, with marble floors, comfortable seating areas, and large windows that allow plenty of natural light to filter through.
The guest rooms are equally impressive, with large, comfortable beds, tasteful furnishings, and modern amenities that ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay. The hotel has recently been refurbished, and everything has been updated in a way that preserves the classic charm and character of the building. The result is a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comfort.
If you're looking for a bit of retail therapy during your stay at the Principi di Piemonte, you'll be pleased to know that the hotel is located in a prime shopping area. Just steps from the hotel, you'll find Via Roma, one of Turin's most elegant shopping streets. Here, you'll find an array of high-end shops and boutiques, offering everything from designer clothing and accessories to luxury home goods and beauty products.
Be sure to visit the amazing Galleria San Federico, a historic shopping arcade that's home to a variety of upscale boutiques, art galleries, and a wonderful old cinema (one of the oldest in the world).
Prefer something a bit more unique? You might want to explore the nearby and more offbeat neighborhood known as the Quadrilatero Romano. This is a historic district filled with winding streets and hidden alleyways, where you'll find a mix of vintage shops, artisanal craft stores, and gourmet food markets. It's a great place to explore if you're in the mood for something a bit more unconventional.
Via Garibaldi is the main pedestrianized avenue that runs through the area, and it is fabulous. You've quirky little stores selling the most fascinating of handmade crafts, art galleries, and so much more. My wife can easily spend an entire day here. I love it too, but I just don't have the stamina for more than a few hours.
Be sure to visit our Turin walking itinerary page, which covers this area and has a useful map of the route.
Overall, Turin offers a wide range of shopping experiences, from high-end luxury boutiques to quirky vintage shops and everything in between.
