In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Turin Palace Hotel on Via Sacchi has welcomed guests since 1850 — the era when Turin was still capital of the Kingdom of Italy. Several rounds of renovation have filled the historic structure with sleek modern design that does not clash at all. Its 127 rooms run a neutral palette with Italian contemporary furniture and premium linen, and the free minibar on some items is a small touch reviews keep calling "above expectations for a 4-star." Higher floors get a lovely Turin morning view, and a few rooms catch the distant line of the Alps on a clear day. Bathrooms come with a tub and full amenities, and reviews single out the consistent cleanliness.
Food and amenities
The Kneipp hydrotherapy circuit is what sets this place apart from same-level hotels in Turin — a European water therapy that alternates hot and cold and is meant to help circulation and recovery. There is also a sauna, a steam bath and a full fitness center. The buffet breakfast is included in the rate, and reviews call it "varied and filling," with sweet and savory dishes and good Italian coffee. The rooftop terrace, open for the Turin skyline and the line of the Alps, is the highlight guests bring up most often.
Location and getting there
It sits just 200 metres from Porta Nuova station, a roughly 3-minute walk — step off the Milan train and you are at the door. The Metro M1 stop at Porta Nuova is close too, so every district of Turin is easy to reach. Museo Egizio is about a 10-minute walk, and Piazza San Carlo and Piazza Castello are both nearby. The streets around the hotel hold Turin restaurants, bars and cafes that stay open late, and Turin airport (TRN) is about 40 minutes out by GTT bus.
Things to know before booking
It is priced higher than the average Turin 4-star, and some reviews question the value for money at that rate. A few guests also flag inconsistent front-desk service when the hotel is full. And while the Alps view gets a lot of attention, from the upper rooms it is distant and only appears on clear days — the rooftop terrace is the surer way to see it, so do not book a specific room purely for that.
Our take
For a high-quality 4-star that still fits a real budget, this is the one to beat in Turin. The 9.6 on Booking, the Kneipp circuit and the rooftop view do more than most luxury hotels deliver, and you are 200 metres from the main station. Book a higher floor, use the spa, and have breakfast before you head out.

Insider Tips
- Head up to the rooftop terrace for the Turin skyline and, on a clear day, the line of the Alps — it is the feature guests rave about most.
- Ask for a higher floor: upper rooms get the better Turin morning view and the best shot at seeing the Alps.
- Use the Kneipp circuit, sauna and steam bath while you have them — they are rare in a Turin hotel at this price.
