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.”

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..

Old-school Charm, Gentle and Kind

Superb experience. The concierge and front desk staff were kind. The maître d in the breakfast room was so welcoming, it makes one wish to return. Fantastic rooms, beautiful view. The Sky Lounge also reflects the same! I felt very pampered, thank you!

There was only one place open for lunch. I would have enjoyed some options. Thank you.

First stop on our honeymoon. A nice spot to begin our Amalfi Coast journey!

Breakfast was a lovely selection Staff were friendly and welcoming Location was in a lovely part of Naples by the port, made for some really nice views The Rooftop bar was an amazing service, we could've stayed there all day if not for the price!

Rooms are a little dated but very clean The Rooftop bar while, amazing and gorgeous, was extremely expensive. €25 for cocktails meant we didn't stay too long! Dinner in Caruso was satisfactory but did not feel like 5 star cuisine. The staff gave us a little dessert surprise for our honeymoon though, which was a nice touch!

Definitely the place to stay when in Naples for 5* luxury - if you can.

Excellent location by sea & nearby restaurants. Friendly, helpful and attentive staff and room services. Breakfast options were awesome. High quality sheets & towels. Efficient doormen made you feel welcome at all times.

Problem with bath/shower waste - couldn’t cope with volume of shower head water flow, so standing in 6 inches of water whilst showering. Cost of bar/terrace standard beverages was v high. €25 for Aperol Spritz & €15 for a German bottled beer! Swimming pool was closed which was disappointing given the hot temperatures.

Classic luxury at it's best in Naples!

The staff at the hotel were excellent. They were kind and helpful with luggage, directions, and recommendations for the local area. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet as it was well appointed with selections of both European and American cuisine. Great location along the water front.

The property suggests there is an outdoor rooftop pool. It is actually the size of a small hot tub and was closed during our stay. We had planned to relax in the afternoon by the pool on the roof before our early morning flight the next day, which was not possible.

The breakfast is exceptional. Everything was so good and fresh! The gym was very nice, the spa area very charming and cozy. We got an upgrade with our room and had a partial view on the sea! The location is perfect, situated on the water front. Lots of restaurants nearby. The room was super comfy, very clean and beautiful! The rooftop bar has an amazing view of the bay, it was magical!

Outstanding comfort and great service

Staff was wonderful. Breakfast buffet was very good (it’s Italy, so skip the pancakes and don’t expect a real hard boiled egg). Bed was very comfortable.

If we have to nit pick, the bathroom should have an exhaust fan. Also, you have to ask for a coffee maker (no charge), but they don’t seem to have creamer in your room. We asked and got none. Very minor issues. Otherwise really comfortable.
