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
