At number 8 Via Sacchi, next to Porta Nuova station, you'll find the il Turin Palace Hotel. This most luxurious of all four star Turin hotels, situated about 10 minutes walking distance from the Porto Nuova train station. You can also get the tram or bus from the station one stop if you have lots of luggage: this hotel is a little further down the three star Turin hotels.
The decor is both classic and sumptuous at the same time, contemporary and inoffensive, quite peaceful actually. There are a few cafes and restaurants in the area if you don't fancy venturing towards the station. The Porta Nuova distinguishes itself from other Turin hotels by perfect interior facilities- bathroom and storage space very good, as well as the hideaway mini-kitchenette (consisting of small sink, fridge/minibar, stove for boiling kettle).
Among the three star Turin hotels, L' Hotel Genio stands out by its perfect place of location. Situated across from the station in Piazza Carlo Felice, on the corner of the glamourous Corso Vittorio Emanuele, it gives an opportunity to drink in its pleasant atmosphere and elegant furnishings and make use of its high services.
There are several other Turin hotels close to the station: the City Hotel is a four star hotel with contemporary decor and furnishings. Hotel Statuo, at 17 Via Principi d'Acaja provides you with all the services and facilities you require in a hotel, it is well furnished and has been awarded two stars.
These Turin hotels, though situated somewhere near the city centre, are much cheaper than others. Taking into account the fact that, moreover, these Turin hotels provide no lower but even higher service level with more facilities, they seem to be an ideal choice for all people. Hotel Nazionale, which is very cosmopolitan and suitable for business travelers, makes a good contest with other Turin hotels. Anyway, if you are in Turin on business, you may find yourself staying in Lingotto, newly built the Hotel Meridien-Lingottois one of the best four star places to stay of Turin hotels.
For busy businessmen the Jet Hotel is handily placed beside the airport, it isn't a modern monstrosity though; the hotel is located inside a splendid renovated farmhouse which also houses the Antica Zecca restaurant. Il Pacific and l'Atlantic Turin hotels are also near the airport and offer modern comforts and facilities.
Those who do not make difference in principle which of Turin hotels to choose- there are a lot of Turin hotels in the city centre. Of course, the price of these Turin hotels increases in several times, but it worth it- to reach main tourist attractions is very easy, for example Egyptian museum. If you head towards Piazza Castello, and stop in Via Carlo Alberto, you will see the Grand Hotel Sitea, richly decorated in four star splendor. And naturally, Turin hotels, preserving long lasting traditions are lavishly and luxuriously furnished (for example, the Concord hotel, at the end of Via Lagrange).
On the whole three and two star Turin hotels do not differ much from four or five star ones, if only in the case of furniture. But the feature uniting the Turin hotels is that all of them intimate, well cared for and very welcoming.
