Grand Hotel Parker's

Naples


Darling of the Grand Tour set, this stately pile once hosted the likes of Virginia Woolf and Robert Louis Stevenson. Today Prada-clad guests lounge on Louis XVI armchairs and take aperitivo on the sea-view terrace. Several floors of the hotel have recently been refurbished, giving rooms a much needed refresh. For sea views, you'll need to book a Deluxe category room or higher.

While the on-site restaurant, The George, is underwhelming, the on-site spa is one of the city's best. Check the website for deals on room rates.
