The Grand Hotel Riccione is a luxury hotel in Riccione, in the region of Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy.Inaugurated in 1929, the hotel was founded by Milanese entrepreneur Gaetano Ceschina, and designed by architect Rutilio Ceccolini. In 1934, it was expanded with the Torre 900, a tower annexe designed by Renato Camus. The hotel was used by foreign dignatories visiting Benito Mussolini, Italy's fascist dictator, during his stays in Riccione, while the tower annexe was used as an operational control and security centre by his private secretariat. After the Second World War, the hotel symbolised Riccione's growth as an upmarket seaside resort, hosting extravagant parties. The hotel closed in 2010 following an inheritance dispute. It partially reopened in July 2023, but its management company was declared bankrupt two months later.The original building's architecture is the Liberty style variant of Art Nouveau, inspired by Gino Coppedè, with sober and elegant lines that subdue Coppedè's eccentricism. It is constructed of predominantly white materials. The hotel's rooms are decorated with crystal chandeliers of Bohemia and Murano. It numbers 300 beds. Previous guests at the hotel include Francesco Cossiga, President of Italy, Princess Haya bint Hussein of Jordan, and Emmanuel Milingo, excommunicated Archbishop of Lusaka.

Cocoricò (nightclub)
Cocoricò (nightclub)

Cocoricò is a nightclub in Riccione, Province of Rimini, Italy. Open since 1989, it has become one of Italy's largest dance venues. In 2015, the venue was voted 16th on the list of "Top 100 Clubs" by the readers of DJ Mag. The nightclub has a capacity of 2,500 people.In the late 2010s, various disputes with the tax authorities and judicial vicissitudes have led to a crisis in the management company. On June 4, 2019, the court declared inadmissible the request for a settlement with creditors filed by the management of Piramide (owned by Fabrizio De Meis). With the second sentence of 11 June, the bankruptcy court rejects the composition with creditors, sanctioning the bankruptcy of the company and the closure of the disco.Following the new purchase of the place by Enrico Galli and Antonella Bonicalzi it was announced that the disco would reopen its doors on April 26, 2020, with the name of Cocco. The change of name was necessary because the Cocoricò, Titilla and Memorabilia trademarks had been seized by the Rimini court and put up for judicial auction. In the end, due to the new regulations for the prevention of COVID-19, the reopening was postponed until a later date. On July 10 the news appears that the brands were purchased by an entrepreneur who wanted to remain anonymous, but then a video appeared on the official social networks of the club which made one suppose that the new owners of the Piramide company had bought them back. The videos suggest that the disco will keep its original name: Cocoricò. In fact, the video reads: Now I can tell You My name: Cocoricò.The club re-opened as Cocoricò in November 2022 with three rooms: Piramide (techno/tech-house), T Room (hard techno) and Titilla (house)
