Address
Piazza Tasso, 34 - Sorrento

On the site where Emperor Augustus built his villa, the Fiorentino family founded the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in 1834, in the very heart of historic Sorrento, in a position of absolute uniqueness, with views that have enchanted celebrities across every era: Enrico Caruso, Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and Wagner. The hotel preserves all the late 19th-century splendour of its interiors, enriched with precious furnishings crafted by the finest local artisans. The hotel is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World.

The splendour of historic luxury

Three buildings house the rooms, suites and apartments of this historic hotel, each with a unique and individual design and all with a private balcony or terrace overlooking the Gulf of Naples or the fragrant gardens and orange grove that surround the property.

Surrender to luxury and book one of the "Antique Suites" with period furniture: choose from the "Enrico Caruso Suite", unchanged since the celebrated Neapolitan tenor stayed there in 1921; the "Pompei Suite", entirely frescoed in the Pompeian style; the "Vittoria Suite", with two terraces; and the "Suite degli Aranci", overlooking the hotel's own orange grove.

Gardens to enjoy at your own pace

Over 20,000 square metres of green, perfect for a "dolce vita" afternoon, between a swim in the large pool and a stroll through the orange grove. For those who want the sea, a private elevator connects the hotel directly to the port, where a boat can be hired to sail the Gulf of Naples towards Capri and Ischia.

The best of the Mediterranean

Terrazza Bosquet is the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria's Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant: a refined table suspended among gardens, sea and Vesuvius, where the kitchen draws on local produce, technique and contemporary sensibility. For a more informal atmosphere, the bar and the poolside Orangerie restaurant complete the hotel's dining offer.

La Serra Boutique Spa

Deep within the historic gardens, in a restored 19th-century greenhouse, La Serra Boutique Spa is an intimate sanctuary where peace, personalised treatments and private Spa Suites with Jacuzzi create an experience far removed from any sense of hurry. A gym with modern equipment completes the fitness offering.

Visited twice. Cocktails on the terrace with a beautiful view across the coastline. Staff were professional and cocktails came with tasty nibbles. No pressure to leave. Returned for dinner at the L’Orangerie celebration our last night in Sorrento. Food was excellent, particularly the risotto. Tiziana and her staff are clearly passionate about their guests and keen to ensure we leave having had a positive experience. Thank you it was greatly appreciated.

Many thanks to the hotel where we held our wedding anniversary lunch at the Terrazza Vittoria! It was wonderful to be back in Sorrento to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We can honestly say everything was just as superb as we remembered. Excellent food, attentive and friendly service, and a stunning view from the terrazza. Grazie mille, torneremo.

Amazing. Invited in on a weekday. Then refused entry on the following night which was a Saturday. Still. A stunning location and views

Map

Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria is located in Piazza Tasso, in the center of Sorrento; a magnificently panoramic position which affords breathtaking views out over the Gulf of Naples. The hotel is situated directly above the harbour of Marina Piccola, from where a regular hydrofoil and ferry service provides connections with the Island of Capri and Naples.
The archaeological sites of Pompei and Herculaneum are both within easy driving distance of the hotel.
The Amalfi Coast, home to the towns of Amalfi, Positano, and Ravello, is just a few kilometers away and easily reached by car or by bus. During the summer months, boat connections are available from Sorrento to all of the tourist destinations on the Gulf of Naples. From Sorrento, visitors may choose to travel to Naples via the Circumvesuviana railway, along a line which also stops at Pompei. The nearest airport to the hotel is that of Naples Capodichino Airport. Those travelling by train should descend at Naples Central Railway station from where to take the Circumvesuviana railway line, as far as Sorrento.
