Gazing out over Sorrento from its enviable location on the Amalfi cliffs, the distinguished Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria is the epitome of opulence. Built back in 1834, the grandeur and splendour of that bygone era is still as evident and perfectly maintained today as it was when it opened its doors. From the foyer, to the dining venues, to the bedrooms, the interior is just as impressive as the building. Lined with art, antique furniture and plush fabrics, you will enjoy Edwardian sophistication at every turn.
The service is also second to none. You will be treated like royalty from the moment you arrive by staff who encompass the famously warm and inviting Italian hospitality. When it comes to dining, you won’t need to go far for exceptional food. The Michelin-starred Terrazza Boquet is the hotel’s signature restaurant and offers food as spectacular as the views.

The details of your stay...tours, private cars, private boats, dinner reservations - are handled by the 2-3 person Concierge; the attendants at the check-in office are just that, and they don't go out of their way to make your stay most pleasant; however, the staff are the most professional we have ever met, including the Concierge Team. The hotel overlooks the Bay of Napoli, the swimming pool fantastic, and the hotel hosts local parties at their outside venue. One cannot ask for any more than the local Sorrentoese choose Vittoria for their celebrations.

This was our favourite place to have drinks overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Had many bottles of Dom P??rignon on several different occasions as we watched the sun set on beautiful evenings spent together in Sorrento. The service was five star as expected, with delicious complimentary snacks and canap??s to go with our champagne. The grounds around the hotel are so beautiful as well.

By far one of the best locations in Sorrento. Truly in the heart of the city and convenient to the restaurants and shops. With Breathtaking panoramic views from almost anywhere in the hotel. We had a corner Garden View Room where we could see the garden and hillside through one window and the ocean from another. The service was impeccable whether room service or waitstaff on the terrace.
Plus you must save room breakfast the spread is unbelievable. The 5 star service is evident throughout the hotel. Please make sure you give yourself a day to relax and utilize all their many amenities such as the pool or the garden. We enjoyed a lovely dinner at the L'Orangerie Poolside Restaurant, with the open concept kitchen and my husband got a steak tartare and we watched them make it right in front of us. Would highly recommend staying at this hotel.

My goodness, where to begin? The hotel is on a lovely secluded property, right in the middle of town, the best of both worlds. The staff is as lovely as can be. Our room had clearly been cared for - NOTHING was out of order (first time in my well traveled life that I have had that). Everything was well thought out for the guest. The spacious bathroom had both a tub and a stall shower. The breakfast room was beautiful (as was everything), great views, wonderful staff and good food. Our only complaint was this: there is a wonderful night light in the bathroom and another in the room. The one in the room was so bright that the very darkened room (there are shutters outside the windows) was very bright and difficult to sleep in. But if we were to come back I would simply have a talk with the management, I???m sure there must be a way to turn it off. This was a VERY high standard against which to judge others. We are looking forward to returning......

Absolutely stunning in every way. A completely amazing experience. The hotel lives up to its five star rating through its service, rooms, and chains. Breakfast was one of the best ever with a spread to die for - live piano music in the morning was a huge bonus. The gym is not huge but I am picky with gyms - the plus is it is well ventilated and stocked with towels and water. Our room had a magnificent terrace overlooking the sea. I want to return immediately.
