History Grand Hotel Miramare

Grand Hotel Miramare

The Grand Hotel Miramare overlooks the Gulf of Tigullio at Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy. In 1903 Mr Giacomo Costa had decided to transform his private villa into a hotel, giving the management to the Kuoni-Stoppani family, who were the founders of one of the oldest European (Swiss) travel agencies. This is how the Miramare soon became one of the first Grand Hotels on the Portofino coast.
The hotel provides the public with little information about its history. Our team researches the hotel's past, from the very beginning, verifying its exact opening date and providing an overview of its history up to the present day.?If you have any useful information and would like to share it, please send it to archives@famoushotels.org.?Thank you This is what we know so far (attention: unverified history!): 1903: Mr Giacomo Costa decided to transform his private villa into a hotel, giving the management to the Kuoni-Stoppani family, founders of one of the oldest European (Swiss) travel agencies: this is how the Miramare soon became one of the first Grand Hotels on the Portofino coast 1933: Guglielmo Marconi, for the first time in the world, transmitted radio telegraphic and radio telephonic signals at the distance of 150 km using 60cm microwaves 1951: it was the venue for one of the most important events in the reconstruction of the italian economy, the italian-French Pool del Carbone e dellÁcciaio, a coal and steel conference, an event which is considered to be the first step towards the future Economic European Community.
