Grand Hotel Vesuvio

Naples

LoginSave

Known for hosting legends – past guests include Rita Hayworth and Humphrey Bogart – this five-star veteran seduces with its dripping Murano chandeliers, period antiques and strangely appealing, faded glory. Rooms are a suitable mix of luxury linen sheets, sumptuous mattresses and Echia spa products, though it's the sea-view rooms that really justify the price of slumbering here.

Count your lucky stars at the rooftop bar and restaurant, which is better for sunset drinks than a forgettable dinner.
