The hotel
Built in 1870 at the behest of Alfred Nobel, famous Swedish scientist and inventor of dynamite, the Hotel Belsoggiorno was initially conceived to provide room and board to the coachmen of the carriages of the gentlemen guests of the numerous parties organized by Nobel himself in his enormous property, located in part east of Sanremo.
The Hotel Belsoggiorno immediately stood out for its position and, not having been created for profit, the service and cuisine made it incomparable compared to all the other hotels in the area, to the point that some coachmen, for the transfers of their masters on the Riviera dei Fiori didn’t even demand to be paid to be hosted in the now famous Belsoggiorno!
Alfred Nobel died in Sanremo on 10 December 1896. When his will was opened it was discovered that the scientist had established that his immense fortune would be used to create and finance five prizes which would soon become the most important in the world, the Nobel Prizes. As per the will, the Hotel Belsoggiorno was sold but with the clause still existing today that its name would always be “Hotel Belsoggiorno”.
