The “Grand Hotel Palazzo” seems to be one of the finest hotels in Italy, its location can't be better: on the sea, at the southern end of the “Terrazza Mascagni”. It has all the amenities of five stars hotels: sauna, fitness center, turkish bath, solarium, roof garden, restaurants and bars. It has been recently refurbished to its 19th century glory and has more than 120 rooms and suites over four floors. Top floor rooms have private terraces.
The statue of Benedetto Brin, founder of the “Accademia Navale”, is now placed opposite the church of “San Jacopo”. Where once the statue was, now stands the Neptune fountain, whereas the tower is long gone.See also: Terrazza Mascagni - Neptune and the Nereids - San Jacopo in Acquaviva

Si allunga la lista delle bellezze che accomunano le nostre due città. Sul lungomare triestino c'è un albergone simile, non tanto per stile ma per dimensioni. L'hotel excelsior, attualmente in ristrutturazione.
Hmmm, it looks grand all right. Can your hear Cavalleria Rusticana when you stand on one of the balconies gazing at the sea?
She is a beauty! Lovely view too!
Very nice - great to see old buildings preserved and great to see a picture of the hotel in it's earlier years.
It looks like a great place to stay when I come visit you. :-)
My gosh, a lovely and historical place to stay. I looked up the prices 120-300 Euro for rooms. I suppose the sea view is on the high side. It's affordable for at least one night :)
The comparison is really great. Ar the statue and the tower in the back shown on the postcard still there?
Looks fab and elegant, I've never been to Livorno and your blog is definitely teasing me into visiting it soon! :)
i can see the historical hotel in ur city! really nice!
ciao, Luis

I think I'd like to stay there, Vogon Poet!
Could you arrange a room for say $29 American?
No?
Shucks.
Great photo, anyway!
This looks like a wonderful place.
Looks nice, but probably a little too expensive for me!
