Grand Hotel Vesuvio
Naples, Italy.
Unquestionably a premiere hotel of its time, The Grand Vesuvio began to attract famous late-nineteenth century figures almost from the moment the paint had dried. In fact, it has remained popular with celebrities ever since.
Early icons to check in included Oscar Wilde and Guy de Maupassant, with the former recalling the view from the balcony as the most pleasant memory of his stay in the city.
However, the hotel’s most enduring historical connection is to the great tenor Enrico Caruso who made the hotel his Casa Napoletano (Neopolitan home). In fact, it would be in his suite at the Hotel de Vesuve in which he would prematurely die aged 48 from peritonitis on August 2, 1921.
A large hotel by Italian standards, the 5-star rated Vesuvio possesses over 150 rooms and suites. It also boasts an indoor pool, wellness centre, and a roof garden restaurant which affords the diners a fine view across the sea.
A Naples landmark in every way.
