Address
Via Califano, 22 - Sorrento

Built on the cliffs directly above the sea, this was the first hotel in Sorrento to give its guests the spectacular view over the Gulf of Naples and Vesuvius. But Grand Hotel Riviera is also a hotel that moves you: with its enchanting private beach, panoramic pool, Mediterranean cuisine and elegant rooms designed for an unforgettable holiday. Part of the Benvenuto Collection.

Old-world charm

With a long history behind it, Grand Hotel Riviera has welcomed illustrious guests and celebrities over the decades, and was among the first hotels in Sorrento to offer direct access to a private beach. The rooms are little jewels of light and Mediterranean style. Twelve categories to choose from: Comfort, Single, Classic, Classic Plus, Superior, Premium, Deluxe, Family Room, Executive, Junior Suite, Suite Vesuvio, Suite Infinity and the Riviera Grand Suite (90 sqm, top floor, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room and large panoramic terrace).

Dining with a view

The clifftop terraces seem made for magical moments. Have breakfast facing Vesuvius in the Le Vele dining room, enjoy lunch looking out over the sea, or savour a romantic dinner with the Gulf lights all around at the Blue Lounge Dine & Drinks. Mediterranean flavours take centre stage throughout, from the breakfast buffet with local pastries to a menu of the finest regional specialities.

Not to be missed: an aperitivo at sunset on the Blue Lounge terrace is a must for Riviera guests.

To the beach by elevator

A hotel with a private beach in Sorrento: this too is luxury. And to get there, all you need to do is step out of your room and take the elevator down to the Smeraldo Beach Club. The beach has everything for a perfect day at the sea: sun loungers, parasols, beach towels, snorkelling equipment and the option to hire a boat for a trip along the Sorrentine coast. Or spend the day on the grand terrace by the panoramic pool, an oasis suspended above the sea between palm trees, flowers and blue majolica tiles, with the Corallo Lounge on hand for relaxed moments.

Perfect location, wonderful service

Enjoyed a 7 night holiday on B &B basis Had a small glitch with room, but the hotel moved us without any fuss Really friendly and helpful staff, especially the Concierge Beach club is wonderful Location is absolutely spot on. Far enough away from the centre of town, but very easy to walk into the centre, or Saint 'Agnello, which is also definitely worth doing Top tip: Don't book a Garden Room, go one grade up.

Our stay at Hotel Riviera Sorrento was truly wonderful. A special thank you to the concierge, Francesco and Gianni, for their genuine warmth, kindness, and exceptional attention throughout our stay. They were always friendly, helpful, and attentive to every detail, making us feel truly welcomed and cared for. Thank you both for your wonderful hospitality. We truly appreciated everything and hope to see you again!

We had a wonderful stay at the Grand Hotel Riviera in late April. We had an oceanfront suite, and the views were astonishing. The room itself was huge and very spacious, including two chairs to sit on the balcony and a separate sitting area. It was incredibly clean. The staff were lovely throughout our stay, and the breakfast was excellent. We stopped by every day prior to our excursions. While it is a little jaunt from the harbor and the center of Sorrento, we were able to walk to many of the places of interest with no trouble. I highly recommend it.

Having just left the hotel in a paradise location, we wish to greet Luigi, Teresa, Sabatino, Gaetano, Raffaella, Giovanna, Angelo, and everyone in the dining room; Mario and Vittorio at the sea platform, Giampiero at the pool; the housekeeper(s) for the room; the chef and the pastry chef and the bar staff. All the people you don't meet but who work to make everything perfect! Everyone welcomed us with cordiality, attentive to our needs with professionalism, making our stay 🔝!!!! We will return for the 4th time. Thank you.

Map

It would be hard to find a better location than that of Grand Hotel Riviera, right above the sea but practically in the center of Sorrento. The charming lanes of the historic center and the port with ferries for day trips to the islands in the Bay of Naples are just steps away. Sorrento is the ideal base for visiting the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii.
