About Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria

Dating back over 170 years, the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria enjoys an unprecedented location at the heart of Sorrento centre with wonderful views stretching out across the Mediterranean.

Comprised of three adjoining buildings, the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria's guestrooms retain a palatial feel and public rooms recall a past splendour with their exquisite furnishings comprised of beautiful period antiques and fine paintings. In the beautifully frescoed Restaurant Vittoria and terrace, Citalia guests dine from the à la grand carte menu, paying a supplement locally for lobster, oysters, caviar and foie gras.

The hotel also has the advantage of its own beautifully secluded gardens, where the swimming pool and children's pool are located. Next to the swimming pool is La Serra Holistic Centre, where guests are able to sample a wide range of beauty treatments. A private lift connects the delightful terrace to the Marina Grande harbour, where frequent ferry services operate to the neighbouring islands of Capri and Ischia.

Having played host to a number of international Royalty and glitterati, including the famous opera singer Enrico Caruso, the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria is an excellent choice for those looking for modern refinements combined with an air of elegance in a superb location.
