Grand Hotel Vesuvio, Naples

Via Partenope 45, Lungomare Caracciolo, 80121 Naples, Italy. (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“For traditional grandeur, the 137-year-old, nine-story Grand Hotel Vesuvio, on Naples’ pedestrian waterfront, overlooks the Castel dell’Ovo and the Bay of Naples. Its upholstered walls, Murano chandeliers and liveried staff suggest the old-school sophistication of another age.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Naples, Italy.

Frommers review:

“Old world glamour holds sway in this famed waterfront hostelry that pampers the rich and famous and provides a Grand Tour–worthy experience (with all the 21st-century amenities, including a spiffy spa and small indoor pool).”

Fodors review:

“You’d never guess from the modern exterior that this is the oldest of the city’s great seafront hotels—the place where Enrico Caruso died, where Oscar Wilde dallied with lover Lord Alfred Douglas, and where Bill Clinton charmed the waitresses—fortunately, the spacious, soothing interior compensates for what’s lacking on the outside.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Naples, Italy.

Telegraph review:

“The Grande Dame of Naples’ hotels has a long and illustrious history, a magnificent setting overlooking the Castel dell’Ovo and a traditional, discreetly luxurious atmosphere.”

They have a beautiful roof terrace to have a cocktail before dinner, but the prices are out of sight. Way too expensive!

Wonderful historical hotel with beautiful views over the stunning Bay of Naples.

The building is historical with lots of character. The location is perfect, near the marina with lots of great bars and restaurants nearby. The roof terrace is lovely. Our room was beautifully furnished and the bathroom was excellent.

The only tiny criticism I have is that the mattress was a little on the hard side but otherwise perfect.

Can’t wait to return!

This hotel is stunning. Located right on the water. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff were very kind and helpful. We paid for the breakfasts which was well worth the money. The food was amazing with lots of variety. Step outside the hotel and you are in the heart of the waterfront with an endless selection of restaurants.

Expensive and worth it.

Location is very pretty. All staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is great.

The slightly less expensive rooms are noticeably smaller. The location, while beautiful and quiet, is not very convenient for public transportation.

Excellent views, impeccable service, and comfortable room.

The breakfast was exceptional, offering a wide range to choose from. The Caruso restaurant was superb. Wait staff in both were very courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. Nothing was too much of an effort.

The range of light evening meals at the rooftop bar was limited.

Worth every penny!

The views, right across from the ocean. The staff was incredibly polite and professional. We arrived at 11:30am local time, and the room was ready. The breakfast buffet was filled with great choices and the maitre was always so nice and helpful. I’m glad we stayed there. It also has a Michelin Star restaurant. Every restaurant in the hotel has incredible views. The hotel even offers turndown service and the tub is a jacuzzi.

Exceeded Expectations

Stayed for two days in end October, the rooms were spacious, we were upgraded to a partial view room with a balcony. Check-in was smooth and very informative. Breakfast spread was excellent. Their sky lounge has gorgeous views and superb service.

Sky lounge was closed on one of the days we stayed. We were told its weather dependent.

I will stay in this hotel again and will recommend it to my friends especially flr

Location and the facility itself was very good.

The staff, especially their restaurant recommendations were very poor. I assume such recommendations came from the reception staff not concierge though, I would expect from a 5 star Hotel to recommend better restaurants as we asked the best ones - they sent us to Umberto, a very very average restaurant I would never go. Another recommendation was Fresco on the sea side, again did not meet any of my expectation. Concierge sent me to Crude Re which was great, I expect from a 5 star hotel like that to recommend such kind of restaurants not the first 2 which ruined a dinner and a lunch for us.

Best place in Napoli

Great place for a stay in Napoli. We will definitely return here. View from 10th floor bar is superb. Room very comfortable. Staff very friendly

Unfortunately there was a G7 meeting in Napoli on the day we stayed in the hotel, and security was a bit annoying although it got better once they started recognizing us.

best views, but needs improvement in terms of customer relations

the location, the bar and view on the 10 floor, breakfast, the upkeep of theroom, francesco, at the reception desk, and usually the staff at the reception center

the pool hours, could bot use the pool the 3 days we were there, because the hours are ridiculous.. could not even see it. the staff when you called them from abroad... gruff, and not customer friendly..
