A centuries-old retreat

The hotel is surrounded by a magnificent centuries-old park, the perfect place to escape the pace of everyday life and lose track of time.

Grand Hotel Royal has a private beach, reserved exclusively for guests and reachable by elevator through the park, with a jetty and solarium. Sun, sea and a drink accompanied by something from the La Marine snack bar.

Enjoy the good life relaxing by the Grand Hotel Royal pool, with its hydromassage area, while the solarium is scented by lemon trees, orange trees and palms. The La Villetta wellness centre has luxurious treatment cabins with state-of-the-art equipment, where expert therapists offer personalised treatments.

A great start to the day

Light filtering through the trees, the warmth of a spring morning and the beauty of the "Glicini" Room in the heart of the centuries-old park, where Grand Hotel Royal's breakfast is served and where weddings and business lunches can be arranged.

For traditional or international cuisine, book a table at Ristorante "Le Relais". For a lighter meal on the panoramic terrace, the "La Terrasse" snack bar is the option; for a romantic after-dinner moment, the "Caprice" Piano Bar awaits.

Stunning hotel

What a stunning hotel! We enjoyed every minute from arrival to checking-out. The staff is so friendly and attentive. The rooms are really nice, maybe consider booking a sea-facing room as it is worth it. The hotel has a beautiful garden and a veranda overlooking the ocean and Sorrento harbour. The breakfast buffet is amazing, nothing was missing. We also had dinner there one night and the food was really tasty. It was still too cold to swim in April but the hotel also has a pool and a deck with sunloungers. We were really sad as our time there had come to an end...

Money suckers

Beautiful view, that being said I’ve never been treated more poorly in my life. They are the most money hungry people I have ever met in Europe, if you are under 25 they assume you have no money and won’t even serve you. I strongly recommend searching elsewhere, there are multiple resorts in very close proximity with the exact same view and better people. Treating people like they’re worthless is not what a “5 star hotel” should be doing it’s disgusting.

30th wedding anniversary hotel

We chose to stay at this hotel to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. If I could give them higher stars, I would. From the moment we entered the hotel. we were warmly greeted by all of their staff and concierge. Every aspect of the grounds were meticulously groomed the pool view was amazing but our favorite was the beach club. They had a beautiful garden to enjoy lunch too. Our room was everything we could’ve asked for with lots of room, lots of space for our belongings and they provided generous soaps and lotions. The breakfast buffet made us feel like royalty. All of the staff is so kind and I wish we could have stayed longer.

Truly Grand!

The Grand Hotel Royal truly offers a luxurious five-star experience. We returned to Sorrento after ten years and stayed there for five nights in May. We immediately noticed that the passage of time did not diminish the magic of the Grand Hotel Royal. Claudia, Angela, and Teresa welcomed us with open arms, truly making us feel like family during our stay. The on-site restaurant was truly worth a Michelin star. Raffele the maître d’ manages a courteous and professional staff. Kudos to Romario, Valeria (great omelets!), Davide, Paola, Serena, Sabrina, Umberto, and Sara. Every afternoon, Salvatore (the “magic mixologist”) and his staff greeted us at the bar with our favorite drinks (try the lemon sage spritz or the purple spritz!) and a light menu of food. They made our days relaxing after a long morning of exploring Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. In the evening, we enjoyed a fantastic menu with many delicious options. Our room was a “prestige” suite on the third floor with a view of the sea and Vesuvius. It was a dream, with all the luxury amenities you could want: a very comfortable queen-size bed, a living space with a private balcony, a bathroom with tub and shower, a large closet and dresser, a refrigerator, and a security safe. The staff was very attentive, keeping our room spotless with two visits each day. The resort had a beautiful garden filled with trees and flowers. The groundskeepers created a paradise bursting with fragrance. Our time at Grand Hotel Royal was truly exceptional, and we can’t wait to return. Grand Hotel Royal is like the “Hotel California” of Sorrento; you can check in whenever you like, and you’ll never want to leave!

Map

Grand Hotel Royal is located in Sorrento, perched directly above the sea on a rocky promontory from where sweeping views of the entire Gulf of Naples and the majestic form of Mount Vesuvius can be admired. Those travelling by air will want to take flights landing at Naples' Capodichino Airport. Guests choosing to journey by train should descend at Naples Central Station from where to board a Sorrento-bound train on the Circumvesuviana line. By car, the hotel is easily reached via the A3 Napoli-Salerno motorway, exiting at Castellammare di Stabia from where to follow indications to Sorrento. Sea connections link Sorrento to Naples, Capri, and Castellammare all year round. Whilst holidaying in Sorrento, visitors should not fail to take a trip along the nearby Amalfi Coast, to the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida, and to the fascinating archaeological site of Pompei.
