Where Hotel Excelsior San Marco is, and why the location matters
Hotel Excelsior San Marco is a 4-star class, 155-room hotel on Piazzale della Repubblica 6 in Bergamo’s lower town, the Città Bassa (lower city). The building dates from 1960, rises over eight floors and overlooks a public park. The funicular up to the walled upper town is listed at about a 5-minute walk, as listed on booking platforms on October 20, 2026.
That puts you between the two halves of the city. Largo Porta Nuova and Piazza Matteotti are each about 600 m (650 yards) away, Via XX Settembre about 700 m (770 yards), and Piazza Vecchia in the Città Alta (upper city) about 1.2 km (0.75 miles). Bergamo airport is about a 9-minute drive.
Getting there
- From Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport (BGY): about a 9-minute drive, as listed.
- From Milan Linate (LIN): about a 39-minute drive.
- By train: Bergamo station is listed at about a 14-minute walk.
- Parking: covered on-site self-parking at €30 per night (listed October 2026), with height restrictions.

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit if you fly into Bergamo and want a full-service hotel with a car, an elevator and a 24-hour front desk, within walking distance of the funicular. The Roof Garden Restaurant serves lunch and dinner on select days, by reservation, and there is a fitness center.
Look elsewhere if you want to sleep inside the walls of the upper town: this is a lower-town address, about 1.2 km (0.75 miles) from Piazza Vecchia. Breakfast is listed as an extra charge, and parking is paid. For a lake stay within reach of Bergamo, compare Hilton Lake Como.
