Historic Hotels in Southern Italy

Details for Palazzo Murat Hotel
Palazzo Murat. Positano.

Boasting former guests such as Rudolph Nureyev, the true historic significance of Palazzo Murat is that it was once the property of the King of Naples.

Details for Grand Hotel Parkers, Naples
Grand Hotel Parker's. Naples.

How ironic that a five-star hotel should include Lenin amongst its famous former guests. Discover more about Naples’ legendary Grand Hotel Parker’s.

Details for Grand Hotel Vesuvio, Naples
Grand Hotel Vesuvio. Naples.

Oscar Wilde is but one of the great names to have enjoyed its hospitality, but the hotel’s main historic claim-to-fame is that one of opera’s legendary figures passed away here in 1921.

Details for Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria
Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria. Sorrento.

Many household names from the golden age of Hollywood came to the Excelsior Vittoria for rest and relaxation - as indeed did two luminaries of classical music before them.

Details for Imperial Hotel Tramontano
Imperial Hotel Tramontano. Sorrento.

Some places seem to inspire the creative mind more than others, and the Imperial certainly seems to have fired the imaginations of several celebrated writers. How could it not?

Picture
Grand Hotel Cocumella. Near Sorrento.

You’ll discover reminders of its monastic origins if you choose to stay at The Grand Cocumella, and also be where numerous recognisable figures from the past once found respite.

Details for Hotel Palumbo, Ravello
Hotel Palumbo. Ravello.

It may once have attracted the likes of Gina Lollobrigida and Ingrid Bergman, but Hotel Palumbo also has a more musical historic claim-to-fame.

Details for Hotel Luna Convento, Amalfi
Hotel Luna Convento. Amalfi.

A place of remarkable historic contrast, Luna Convento was founded by a saint and yet can also count a fascist leader among former guests. 

Details for Il Saraceno Grand Hotel
Il Saraceno Grand. Amalfi.

With sixteenth century origins, the Il Saraceno Grand was once the property of Sultan Suleiman II - a man who clearly understood the concept of “location, location, location”.
