Lungomare — Waterfront
The most storied hotel in Naples, the Grand Hotel Vesuvio has hosted everyone from Enrico Caruso — who died here — to Errol Flynn and Sophia Loren on its legendary Lungomare position with the bay of Naples and Vesuvius as a permanent backdrop. The rooftop Caruso restaurant and terrace is the finest table in Naples with the finest view in Italy.
Port — Molo Beverello
A 21st-century masterpiece by Kenzo Tange beside the port, Romeo has a rooftop pool and Il Comandante restaurant with panoramic views of the bay, a spa, and rooms designed as art installations. It occupies an impossible position: the modern building between the Castel Nuovo and the water that would never be permitted today.
Piazza Bellini — Historic Centre
A Liberty-era villa in the heart of the historic centre, Constantinopoli 104 is set around a garden with a small outdoor pool — a genuine miracle of tranquility in one of the world's noisiest cities. The rooms are filled with antiques and Neapolitan art, and the breakfast in the garden is a perfect start to any Naples morning.
Santa Lucia — Lungomare
One of the great classic hotels of the Lungomare, the Santa Lucia overlooks the Castel dell'Ovo and the bay from its position on the Borgo Marinari seafront. The rooftop terrace and the sea-view restaurant are both outstanding, and the aristocratic service tradition that the hotel has maintained for over a century gives it a character that newer properties simply cannot replicate.
Historic Centre
A stunning conversion of an 18th-century aristocratic palace in the historic centre, Palazzo Caracciolo has maintained the original stone staircases, herringbone marble floors, and frescoed ceilings while adding contemporary comfort. The inner garden with its lemon trees is a serene escape from the Spaccanapoli chaos outside.
Spaccanapoli
A six-room boutique set above a working Neapolitan artisan workshop in the Spaccanapoli, Atelier Inès is the most atmospheric small hotel in the city — you fall asleep to the sound of the street below and wake up to the aroma of the nearby coffee roaster. The owner's obsessive knowledge of Neapolitan cuisine history is the best free guide in the city.
Spaccanapoli — Via San Giovanni Maggiore
A boutique hotel in a 14th-century palazzo on a Spaccanapoli side street, Decumani has restored the original stone-flagged corridors, the painted wood ceilings, and the atmospheric gloom that communicates Naples's extraordinary historical depth. The location puts you within steps of the Gesù Nuovo, San Gregorio Armeno's Christmas workshops, and the Cappella Sansevero.
