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 historic property is in a perfect location (in the center town) and is beautiful. Breakfast is fantastic in a beautiful historical setting. The staff is lovely and really try their best.
WIth this being said, there are some issues you should be aware of. There do not seem to be many suitable facilities for handicapped travellers. For example, our family suite was on the the second floor and could only be accessed by stairs (no elevators).
For such a luxurious property, there are some issues with maintenance that need to be resolved. For example, we had no hot water the first night (fixed the next day). Our compensation was cancelled against a shelf glass we accidentally broke and offered to pay. The shower head does not fit the holding stand so it points to the door and floods the bathroom.
The towel warmer in the main bedroom was also not functioning. The electric face mirror was also flashing when turned on (turning itself on and off).

OMG. Five star at its best. My husband and stayed here in September. Sorrento is a very very special place for us. So we thought why not book stay at the best hotel. We were not disappointed. We had already arrived at Sorrento in another hotel and called The Excelsior for an early check in. Not only did they do that, they upgraded us to a sea view room. Absolutely amazing gorgeous room. The service from arrival to departure is first class and five star. The food five star. Loved every second of our visit. Camille is amazing, excellent at her job. So were the staff in the evening serving our drinks - Giuseppe top bar man in the evening and Giuseppe at breakfast, thank you for beautiful smile at breakfast every day. The pool area was extremely relaxing , again fantastic service. The hotel defines 5 star. We were expecting not to lift a finger during our stay and boy did this hotel live up to expectations. Thank you to all the staff who greeted us by name every day. Thank you making yet another visit to Sorrento memorable, we look forward to coming back again.

II am President Unique Meetings and Incentives from NY and visited this hotel to select the property for meeting of group of 124 VIP clients from leading USA insurance Company. I was booked at junior suite with sea view. Room with old furniture was OK but the problem was with the bathroom. Has a very bad small. I asked front desk if they can do somthing but even was promised to see what can be done they even did not put some deodorant or change the room to the partner who can to contract hotel for 2019 group. The second bad experience with this hotel overcharge for private car transfer from Sorrento to Naples. Night before I need transfer Nov 3 I asked how much will cost. Clark at front desk offered EUR 80.oo The price was reasonable. I am in travel business and also checked 3 transportation companies and they prices are EUR 79. When I looked bill at checking out price was EUR180.oo After a while came hotel Manager and lower the price to EUR 80.oo No apology. If the overcharge partner what they will do to the clients. Also hotel charge two soft drinks from mini bar EUR 29.00 The only what was very nice in this hotel set up menu for dinner in the Restaurant. Price for 7 course menu was EUR 95 p.p. Service and food was very good. With my experience in this hotel I am not going to bring them group and just say be carful for additional charges they will ad on final bill.
