The Montenotte also boasts a stunning number of accolades - recently winning the Tripadvisors Traveller Choice Award 2024 - and offers a rooftop bar, a cinema and popular afternoon tea and private dining options. Earlier this month, the hotel made waves once again after their team unveiled luxurious new 'treehouse' suites as part of €7.5m investment.
The 'Woodland Suite Experience' starts at €680 for a weeknight stay and can go as high as €750 per night for those looking to spend a weekend there. The new rooms give guests a chance to enjoy a peaceful stay close to nature while still enjoying all the perks of a city break, as the hotel is only a 20-minute walk from the city centre. The suites have a fantastic view over Leeside and those staying there will have access to a beautiful residents-only clubhouse where they can enjoy all the delicacies the hotel has to offer.
