PB hotel design editorial

Perched on a tufa cliff above the Bay of Naples, where the land drops sharply to the water and Vesuvius holds its position on the horizon, this is one of the oldest continuously operating grand hotels on the Italian peninsula — a property that has absorbed nearly two centuries of European travel culture without losing its essential character. The Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria has been in the hands of the Fiorentino family since 1834, and that continuity shows in every considered detail: the ochre-washed Liberty-style facade with its arched loggia and white-painted balustrades, the clifftop terraces where cast-iron bistro chairs sit beneath ancient umbrella pines and marble statuary, the interiors that move between ornate Belle Époque rooms with hand-painted wall panels in sage and rose and more recently renovated suites finished in herringbone parquet, cream velvet armchairs, and coffered ceilings with concealed cove lighting. Across its 84 rooms spread through several interconnected buildings — including the original nineteenth-century villa — the design language never fully modernises, which is precisely its strength. Rooms in the older wing carry frescoed walls, Murano glass sconces, and lacquered white armoires that place them firmly in the Neapolitan aristocratic tradition. The pool terrace, sheltered by stone pines and clipped hedging, pulls back from the cliff edge into a garden that Enrico Caruso, one of the hotel's most celebrated guests, reportedly walked daily. That layered history is the architecture here.

"Back home to my cottage, cases unpacked and now just photos and memories to share...memories, here's but a few, Bellinis at sunset on that most celebrated of Terraces ( hats off to young Rafael, a gem in the making) our rooms kept immaculately (thank you Dora), the pool team always willing and helpful....with the pool at perfect cooling temperature....not to forget the garden team, our youngest found perfect tranquility listening to her music from the comfort of the hammock under the lemon trees. Must not forget breakfast with its abundance of treats....initially (after a few attempts) disappointed not to find a table at the "posh" restaurant, but golly gosh her younger sister (L'Orangerie) was a delight. Professional staff, yet relaxed with splendid food to match. Indeed a treat. Overall, this Grande Dame excels in each and every department. A very special Hotel with a team that exceeds every expectation. Thank you....Winter awaits but with a fair wind we will return yet again to enjoy some magic on the Sorrentine Penisular."

"Popped in for a very nice drink at sunset. Gorgeous location. Minimum spend €25pp but easily done with some drinks. Genuinely brilliant live music and atmosphere. Service was so good. We didn’t stay so I can’t comment on the rooms. The bar was very clean and quite chilled in terms of noise."
