Hotels in Naples

The Grand Hotel Vesuvio is one of the leading luxury hotels in Naples renowned for hosting millionaires and screen legends. Appropriately, the refined public spaces drip with twinkling chandeliers and are furnished with period antiques. There are two fine restaurants, the gorgeous Caruso Roof Garden and the Verdi Restaurant.

Housed in a 16th-century monastery with stunning views of Vesuvius, San Francesco al Monte is the most historic hotel in Naples. Original remnants of the monastery have been carefully preserved, such as the frescoed dining room, antique majolica tiling and paving and even the monks bread oven. Monastic cells have been converted into tasteful period-style rooms. Best of all though is the rooftop garden and pool with its 360-degree views over Naples.

Calling all book-lovers, Port Alba Relais houses a wonderful library with sections dedicated to the city’s art, music and history and a book swapping section for literary guests. Wood-beamed rooms are dedicated to literary genres (romance, drama, mystery) and are furnished with taste with designer bedding and accessories from Mario Bottiglieri. It’s also super central with some rooms overlooking the buzzing Piazza Dante.

The Chiaja Hotel de Charme, is a charming small hotel indeed. Situated within the restored residence of a marquis, it exudes an elegant atmosphere. The owners have recreated a period feel with restored architectural details like the marble fireplaces and grand staircase and decorative touches like the gilt-framed portraits and antique furnishings. What’s more, if you step out the front door you’ll find yourself of Naples’ premiere shopping street.
