Vintage Belmond Hotel Splendido Portofino Mare Framed Luggage Label 8.5 x 10 in.
Perched above the harbor of Portofino, the Albergo Splendido—once a 16th-century Benedictine monastery—was transformed into a hotel in the early 20th century, quickly establishing itself as one of the Italian Riviera’s most sought-after addresses.
Portofino has long embodied a distinct vision of Mediterranean travel—discreet, sunlit, and refined. Along the Ligurian coast, it became a favored retreat for artists, aristocrats, and international society, with guests including Clark Gable, Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, Elizabeth Taylor, and Richard Burton.
Originally affixed to steamer trunks and suitcases, luggage labels were subtle markers of status—signaling where one had traveled and, more importantly, where one had stayed. Today, they remain among the most collectible artifacts of early luxury travel.
