Surrounded by a lush gardens and perched on a clifftop directly above the Mediterranean and looking across to Italy's Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius, the Grand Hotel Ambasciatori is one of Sorrento's most elegant hotels.

With its perfect mix of high end services and warm, welcoming staff, Grand Hotel Ambasciatori is all you would expect from a luxury hotel on Italy's southern coast.

Grand old hotel in Sorrento with cliff top views over Bay of Naples

Beautiful 5* hotel set in cliff top overlooking the Bay of Naples. Historic feel to hotel with terrrace restaurants looking out to sea leading to some great sunsets. Breakfast buffet is extensive and varied. Restaurant food quality is good and service excellent. Staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Small fitness room, good massage facilities and paid use of jacuzzi. Has its own beach area (more rocky than sand as is typical of this part of coast). Short walk into Sorrento itself (10-15 mins) also not far from train and bus stations.

Beautiful but Not Welcoming or Accomodating

There is no doubt that the hotel is beautiful and in an ideal location. The views are stunning. This room we stayed in was only adequate. It was room 702 and it had a tiny balcony and a partial sea view. Layout of the room had something to be desired. There is no full length mirror anywhere in the room. In addition the minibar was very dirty, as were some aspects of the bathroom. However, the most undesirable aspect of this hotel is the fact that the food and beverage department is very un accommodating and the waiters can be rude. My travel agent, who is wonderful, booked some amazing excursions, however they left very early in the morning. On one morning when we asked if we could take something with us from the breakfast buffet the waiter was incredibly rude and acted like we were low class. When I brought this to the attention of the front desk they did not seem to be concerned and told me the excursions the hotel booked did not leave early. I think because Sorrento is dependent on tourism, the hotels should accomodate the guests that need to leave early to make it in time to an early excursion rather than be rude and disrespectful. Regardless of the beauty of this hotel, I will not be reccomending it to my friends who travel. We went without breakfast two days, despite paying for it and at no time did any staff member appear to be the slightest bit apologetic.

This is a lovely hotel in every way possible. I can’t fault it. The staff are lovely and helpful. The room was great and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. Breakfast was tasty with lots of choice. Being able to access the sea was a big plus too. We hope to return one day.
