Fodor's Expert Review Relais San Lorenzo
Piazza Mascheroni 9, Bergamo, Lombardy, 24129, Italy Fodor's Choice
Ideally positioned on the edge of Bergamo Alta, a stone's throw from the old town's delightful shops and restaurants, this ultramodern luxury hotel nods to its historic location by incorporating Roman ruins found during construction into the restaurant and bar. The stylish black-and-white guest rooms, some with terraces overlooking the valley below, include rain showers (some also have oversize tubs), Moulton Brown toiletries, and Nespresso coffee makers. The small yet sophisticated spa includes a sauna, steam room, and salt relaxation room—perfect for chilling out after a day wandering Bergamo's medieval streets.
