Starhotels Majestic is a classic city hotel on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, directly opposite Torino Porta Nuova, the main railway station in the middle of Turin. It belongs to an Italian hotel group that runs a collection of polished business and leisure hotels, and the Majestic is one of its best-known addresses. The style is traditional and comfortable rather than daring, with a formal lobby, a restaurant and bar, meeting rooms and a front desk used to dealing with both holiday travellers and corporate guests. The location is the main draw, because it puts every train line and the heart of the historic centre at your door.
Porta Nuova is the starting point for most journeys in and out of Turin. Fast trains link the city to Milan in about an hour, to Rome, Florence and Venice, and regional lines run to the Langhe wine hills, Genoa and the Alps. The metro and many bus and tram routes also stop nearby. A hotel opposite the station means you can arrive, drop your bags and be walking within minutes.
From the door, Via Roma leads north under long arcades to Piazza San Carlo and Piazza Castello, and the whole stretch is lined with cafes, chocolate shops and old-fashioned pastry counters. Turin is a city of arcades, so rain is less of a problem than elsewhere.
The surroundings are lively rather than quiet. The streets near a major station are busy through the day and evening, with traffic, commuters and travellers, and the area has a more everyday character than the elegant squares a few minutes away. Rooms are typically well equipped, with air conditioning, good soundproofing and work space, and upper floors are quieter than those facing the avenue.
Breakfast is usually a buffet and may be included or optional, so compare rates. The nearby San Salvario district has a good evening scene of bars and restaurants, and Parco del Valentino along the Po is a short walk or ride away for a morning run or an easy stroll.
Good to know
Rates in Turin move with trade fairs, conferences and big events, so the same room can cost far more on a busy week. Weekends and summer are often calmer and cheaper. The hotel is not in a historic palazzo with period charm, so if that matters, other hotels on this page are a better match. It suits first-time visitors, rail travellers, business trips and anyone who wants a dependable base with excellent connections.
Plan your sightseeing with the compact centre in mind: the Egyptian Museum, the Royal Palace, the Mole Antonelliana and the cinema museum are all reachable on foot in about fifteen to twenty-five minutes, or by a short tram or bus ride. Check the walking times for your plans when you book.
