Restaurants and Bars
Ristorante Deco is the hotel’s intimate à la carte restaurant, serving classic Italian dishes and Tuscan specialities at dinner in an elegant, high‑ceilinged dining room that reflects the building’s Belle Epoque origins. In the morning, Salone Belle Epoque hosts a generous buffet breakfast, with pastries, cold cuts and hot options; highchairs and a kids’ menu are available for younger guests.
Head up to the Terrace Bar for cocktails and light bites with a view – it’s the place for sundowners above the promenade, watching the sky turn pink over the Tyrrhenian Sea. Downstairs, a stylish cocktail bar mixes local wines, aperitivi and digestivi.
Smart casual dress may be required in the evening and restaurant opening times or inclusions can vary by season and board basis; some dishes or venues may carry a supplement.
Pool Areas and Beach
The Palace Hotel doesn’t have its own swimming pool, but being just 50m from the shoreline you’re moments from Viareggio’s inviting, gently shelving sand and the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea. Between May and September 2025, guests benefit from entrance to La Pace beach club with two complimentary deckchairs and a parasol included – ideal for long, lazy days by the water.
The surrounding promenade is dotted with additional private beach clubs offering changing cabins, bars and services if you’d like to upgrade your beach experience locally.
