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.

Having had canap??s and drinks here after our wedding two years ago, we returned for a bottle whilst in sorrento. As usual the view and service were amazing as was the wine and complementary nibbles.
Unfortunately our visit was slightly disturbed by one of the waiting staff arguing with a customer over a bottle of wine, which I don???t think he handled in the best way, especially given the kind of hotel this is.

We have been there the second time and what shall I say it really can???t be any better.
The Service and the whole staff, where ever we went to was very, very friendly, helpful and in any sense made us feel like home. The service staff like Giuseppe (since 35 years there), Raffaele, Pasqualino, Giuseppe and also the staff at the pool, room service and at the concierge are an incredible team. The food is outstanding in any way. We all know that Italy is one of the best places for Pasta, Fish and sweets, but we also had one of the best T-Bone Steaks in my life! Thank you very much to everybody at the Grand Hotel. My son (4 years old) also realised that if he says ???forza Napoli??? he will make everyone smile and sometimes gets an ice cream on top😉.
Once again, the place is beautifully located, but what makes this place more than special is the staff which does not change. For me, as I work since 35 years in the catering and hotel industry proves that it must be a good working atmosphere. Thank you again and we are looking forward to our next visit.

Having stayed at the hotel several times before I was very dissatisfied with my recent stay. Not all guests are treated the same, we were often completely overlooked & ignored whilst they ???fussed??? over other guests. Staff saved sunbeds around the pool for some guests ( which were not used all day) . It is expensive to stay at the hotel, as is their food and drink, and all guests should be treated in a polite, courteous manner at all times .

We were not staying in the hotel but visited for drinks. The outside bar area has a nice view of the sea. We found it very relaxing enjoying a drink here. We didn't rate this as 5 star as the service was a little slow. It's also very confusing when you go in as to the fact it's quite an expensive champagne/wine bar. The cheapest glass of wine was 12.50. Drinks are served with lovely afternoon tea style nibbles. A lovely place for a special drink.

Fabulous location for this hotel gives it an early advantage for a good review.. However it needs a bit of tlc and maybe the hotel inspector to chivvy them up .
From the shoddy sign on the roof to dated room decor no help with bags and a hit and miss a ma carte restaurant to a super new pool and newly decorated bar area. Some rooms appear to have had an overhaul and written does appear to be ongoing but I don't think this hotel is quite living up to its 4 stars.
Lovely friendly staff amazing location but could try harder
