The hotel is in a beautiful restored palazzo. WineNot, its restaurant is just off the lobby. We enjoyed breakfast there and had an excellent dinner, trying some regional wines. We had a larger room on this second stay and I can recommend it for the deep, comfortable bath and enormous shower. We also appreciated the espresso machine and free minibar. We asked to leave some shopping packages with our luggage at check out for a later departure. When we returned, the valet had stored everything in our car and it was ready to go. The staff seem to be happy to respond to any request. We live a few hours away, so visiting Ancona and staying in the Grand Hotel Palace is going to be regular treat for us.
