This is the oldest hotel in the area, having opened in 1870 under the ownership of a wealthy English marine biologist. Its vantage point — on top of a hill in the residential district of Posillipo — provides glittering vistas over the Bay of Naples, Capri and Mount Vesuvius, as enjoyed over the wrought iron balcony on the terrace. Guests staying in the Grand’s 67 bedrooms enjoy Neapolitan tailor-made service, antique furnishings and access to multiple restaurants and bars. Its George Restaurant has a Michelin star, whilst the Villa Matilde offers a Wine Archeology experience.
