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.

What a lovely treat to spend a few days at the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria! The hotel is beautiful and elegant with exceptional service. We enjoyed a large suite which provided ample room for our family of 4. Our meals were excellent, particularly dinner at Terrazzo Bosquet which was one of the most aesthetically beautiful meals I have ever experienced. We were sad to leave and certainly hope to return!

Everything about this hotel is perfect and elegant. The rooms are updated and sleek but still traditional Italian. The views are spectacular and you are in the center of everything Sorrento has to offer. Plus, there is an elevator from the pool deck down to the waterside and boat docks. A huge convenience and time saver. We stayed at the St Regis Florence for a week prior to the Excelsior Vittoria and the Excelsior rooms were far superior to the dated St Regis and the service and food at the Excelsior were as good or even a step above the St Regis. Fantastic all around!

From the moment my driver turned from Piazza Tasso and continued down the drive of this luxury property, I knew something special awaited me. I was not disappointed when I arrived at this building of unrivalled elegance and grandeur, invoking a sense that you are entering a film set. This must surely be one of the most beautiful properties on the Sorrentine Peninsula.
The first member of staff I had the pleasure of making contact with, was a gentleman named Corrado. He greeted me with a warm, yet most professional reception and I was delighted at his proficiency in the English language as my Italian is not quite what I would like it to be. He welcomed me into the hotel, and ensured that throughout my stay, all needs and expectations were not only met but exceeded.
The rooms were of an exceptional standard, in cleanliness, in decor and the balcony with sea view was simply breathtaking. I enjoyed many sea view experiences here including sitting on the terrace with champagne or cocktails, attended to by extremely efficient staff, whilst I watched the sun go down.
The breakfast offering was outstanding and the food in the restaurant, exquisite.
There is nothing more that I can say, other than I completely and wholeheartedly fell in love here and yearn to return.

From the moment we walked in we knew we selected the right hotel. The staff is amazing, very friendly and outgoing. The room was very spacious and had a fabulous view from the balcony. We loved how close it was to all the fabulous restaurants and shopping. Breakfast was in a beautiful location with view and you could order just about anything. Only complaint we had was we booked on Amex and nothing was published about the $40euro resort fee. Other than that, everything about this hotel was fabulous!

An un believable experience from the staff to the General Manager Tiziana, to the owner and his great family. The ambience,food ,rooms,service and safety were A plus.
This is the best and most luxurious Hotel in Sorrento. The views from the Vittoria Terrace with Mt. Vesuvius are breath taking with The Isle of Capri a 25 minute pleasant boat ride away and Positano and Ravello short drive.
The flights and Sorrento were very easy to get there and back as long as you were vaccinated or had a pcr covid test needed 72 hours before departure on the cover free flights.
