Frommer's "In our opinion, this Starwood property has more of a feeling of old-fashioned glamour than its sister hotel, the Vesuvius, and its prices are slightly lower." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This belle époque palazzo is the grande dame of Naples’ plush hotels, and it has seen everyone from movie royalty to real monarchs pass through its elegant doors."
Time Out "A Neapolitan landmark, it exerts a heady glamour - helped by its enviable position overlooking the bay, with Vesuvius as the backdrop and the Borgo Marinaro right opposite." Full review

"Built in 1908 and considered one of the classic hotels of Naples, the Hotel Excelsior is adorned with crystal chandeliers, antiques, and Italian marble floors in its sumptuous public spaces." Full review
Fodor's "Maharajahs, emperors, and Hollywood legends have stayed at this grand-tradition outpost that opened in 1909." Full review

After a day of sightseeing, repair to the peaceful piano bar, where the barman mixes the driest martini in town (ask for a Hemingway).

Frommer's "Next door to the more luxurious Vesuvio, this historic hotel offers an old-fashioned atmosphere mixed with elegant decor." Full review
Lonely Planet "All decked out in powder blues and creams, this five-star pad owes much of its Liberty look to celebrated architect Giovan Battista Comencini."
DK Eyewitness "Though more modest, this hotel has the most character of the three “grands” along the bay. It shares the same views and was renovated a few years ago. All the comforts you may require."
Star Service "Hovering over the bay front next to the superior Excelsior, facing the Castel dell'Ovo and the colorful marina, this seven-story independent remains a perennial marker for potential." Full review

Avoid the Standard rooms at all costs, as these lack views and attention to detail, though all have air-conditioning.

"Its outstanding location keeps the upscale Grand Hotel Santa Lucia in the running as a fine choice for travelers wanting to be near the sea and Naples attractions." Full review
Fodor's "Neapolitan enchantment can be yours if you stay at this luxurious, quietly understated hotel that overlooks the port immortalized in the song "Santa Lucia."" Full review
