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.

Fabulous fantastic wonderful Hotel !

Had the most perfect time at the Royal, from the minute we arrived the staff were so friendly and attentive. The Hotel is beautiful, italian marble and modern facilities. We were upgraded from a luxury suite to a Royal Junior suite with a view and Jacuzzi which made our stay even more incredible. The Pool is large and beautiful, great sunbeds and Beach area too is fabulous , the staff on Beach area and Beach Restaurant their were so attentive and worked so hard to make our stay memorable. Bring your snorkels as we did this everyday and saw good range of fish. I was here with my Husband and 13 year old son and he was not bored and loved it. We were so sad to leave but we will be back

Not a 5* experience

What an underwheming and disappointing stay.Let's start with the room,one wardrobe base was made of cheap wood,painted but badly scuffed,badly cracked floor tile and scuffed door to the balcony.We booked a sea view room,but from the 1st floor this is not a full view and you look down on to the dining room roof. Now for the worst bit,we went for lunch on the terrace,we were eating a toastie and my husband suddenly spit something hard out,looked like a presstud.After reporting it to the manager,it turned out to be the date tag from a bag of mozzarella! We wouldn't have eaten there again,but my husband had been ill for 3 days and didn't want to leave the hotel,so we ordered rabbit ragu.This time I was halfway through and I spit something hard out,I thought it was a rabbit's tooth,but my husband said it was bone.Reported it again but no apology. We are in our 70's and have never ever had 2 experiences like this. Pool needed a bit of tlc one American gentleman we spoke to had been collecting the loose mosaic tiles and leaving them in little piles on poolside.There was an issue with people reserving sunbeds at 6am,we watched them,so after 2 mornings of no sunbeds left and no one occupying them,complained to front desk,signs were put up and that problem was solved.On our last night there was a wedding party with very loud booming bass music,no thought given to the guests actually paying to stay there. Staffwise,most just average,but to end on a good note,a mention must go to the lovely lady who cleaned our room,think she was called Rosalisa,dark blond curly hair,who always had a smile on her face. Overall though a poor experience and not worth half the money we paid.

Fantastic stay at Grand Hotel Royal Sorrento -- 5 Star!

We stayed at the Grand Hotel Royal in Sorrento in July 2026. We had three rooms for 5 kids and 2 adults. This resort is incredible. The service was fantastic, property was beautiful and rooms were large and most important, the AC was high functioning and quiet. The beach club and pool are both great. Food at all the restaurants was fantastic and breakfast buffet was also top notch. The location is also perfect. Walking distance from everything but slightly set off the main commercial area so hotel is more quiet. A 5 star experience for sure. I would stay here again no question.

The hotel is stunning, the location unbeatable, and the service consistently excellent. Housekeeping was impeccable, keeping our room spotless and well-stocked throughout our visit. A special thank you to Giaccomo, who went out of his way to make our stay memorable with his warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality. We would happily return!

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.
