Contemporary design hotel on Ancona's seafront overlooking the harbour and the Adriatic, featuring the panoramic Ginevra rooftop restaurant and sea-facing rooms with private terraces.
SeePort Hotel is Ancona's leading contemporary design hotel, occupying a striking glass-and-steel building at Via Rupi di Via XXIX Settembre 12 directly facing the city's working port and the Adriatic Sea in the Marche region. The hotel was conceived around the relationship between the city and the sea, and floor-to-ceiling windows in the public spaces and many guestrooms frame uninterrupted views over the harbour, the ferry terminal, and the open water beyond. The position places guests within a 15-minute walk of Ancona Centrale station and a short stroll from the Mole Vanvitelliana, the Cathedral of San Ciriaco on Monte Guasco, and the city's compact historic core.
Guestrooms are finished in a clean modern style with warm wood tones, neutral fabrics, and large windows, and the superior and deluxe categories add private balconies or terraces facing the sea. All rooms include air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen televisions, and contemporary bathrooms. The overall aesthetic favours understated minimalism over heritage decoration, distinguishing SeePort from the more traditional hotels of the Marche coast.
The Ginevra restaurant on the upper floor is the hotel's signature feature, serving Marchigiano and Adriatic cuisine — locally landed fish, brodetto all'anconetana fish stew, and regional pasta — alongside an extensive wine list focused on Marche producers. The adjoining rooftop bar and terrace are popular for aperitivo at sunset, with panoramic views across the port. Breakfast is served with the same sea outlook.
The hotel suits both business travellers using Ancona as the Marche's administrative and ferry hub and leisure guests touring the Conero Riviera, which begins just south of the city. The multilingual front desk assists with ferry bookings to Croatia and Greece, car hire, and excursions to Portonovo, Sirolo, and the Frasassi Caves inland. Limited parking is available nearby, and the hotel can advise on the city's restricted-traffic zones for guests arriving by car.
