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.

This hotel is exceptional in every way imaginable. I was blessed by my husband for my birthday last year with an amazing stay at the Excelsior. From the moment we entered the property past the guard gate, to the moment we entered our room, the feeling in my heart was awe inspiring.
Our hotel host was kind and gracious, they upgraded us to a suite overlooking Vesuvius in honor of my birthday. They treated us with care & friendly hospitality throughout our entire stay. The breakfast was impeccable, dinner at their Terrazza Bosquet amazing. Location perfect to walk around Sorrento.
If you are having a difficult time choosing a place to stay, look no further, this hotel is a giving hotel to her guests. It is everything a traveler would hope to find on the Italian coast.

This hotel is simply amazing. Sorrento is a very popular city and so it's incredible that this hotel is so quiet and central. I loved the walkway from the road to the hotel entrance, with it's beautiful sculptures and champagne garden. We stayed in a junior suite which was beautifully decorated and had an amazing terrace looking out at the water and Mount Vesuvius. We even took the elevator down to the ferry area and caught a boat to Capri. This is an amazing perk as otherwise it would be a bit of a walk to get there. The service was exceptionally attentive and helpful. The breakfast was in a beautiful restaurant with magnificent views. The room service was quick and cheerful. The hotel itself is just magnificent and immaculately kept. And there is a Michelin star restaurant just downstairs where you can get thoroughly spoilt! All in all a wonderful stay.

With family visiting in Sorrento for Christmas. We are here two years ago and loved it! (There are so many wonderful choices of fabulous places to eat)
Stopped by yesterday to look at menu as my wife and daughter are vegetarian. The young man at the front desk was very helpful. Stopped by today to make a reservation and was met by an Arrogant restaurant staff. Might be Michelin Star rated place but they would lose that rating if based on service. The place is beautiful but not welcoming. To bad with so many choices in Sorrento I will go elsewhere. Not recommended for families looking to be in a welcoming environment!
