Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria

About the property Photo gallery

This is by far the best hotel in all of Sorrento, with a strong family heritage gracefully upheld. To truly enjoy the beauty of the region, we recommend chartering a yacht for a few days to explore incredible places such as Positano and Capri.

Plan your trip

Stay at Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria

Sprawled on a cliff top overlooking the sea, the Excelsior Vittoria is nothing short of extraordinary. Discover the distinguished history of the Fiorentino family, owners since the hotel’s opening in 1834. Wander the sublime scented gardens that inhabit the grounds, getting lost in a mirage of blooms and birdsong.Within, marble halls and antiques transport you back in time, as you tour the Winter Garden, the frescoed library, the Music Room. Continue your stroll through the cobbled lanes of Sorrento in the early evening, then return for a cocktail and tapas in time for sunset. The romance of the outdoor terrace is utterly palpable, as you survey the twinkling lights of the bay beyond.

Location

Situated right in the heart of Sorrento, the town’s cobbled alleys and sights are all reachable on foot. A private lift down the cliff is onhand to transport guests to the harbour. Day trips to Capri, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast are easy to arrange.

Rooms

The hotel is grand in name as well as design, with 84 stays spread across three connecting buildings. All are spacious, adorned in classical styles exuding timeless glamour. Many offer sea view and private terraces. For a special treat, opt for a “One-of-a-Kind” suite.

Who is it for

Couples will adore the sophisticated ambience nurtured here. Meanwhile, families will appreciate the garden apartment option. A small play area, children’s pool and activities such as pizza-making ensure ample entertainment for those travelling with kids.

Facilities & activities

A modestly tranquil spa is hidden in the garden. Alongside this, you’ll find a seafront terrace, gym and pool. Breakfast is served in an elegant, frescoed salon. For dinner, you have a choice of gourmet dishes at Michelin-starred Terrazza Bousquet, or laidback L’Orangerie positioned by the pool.
