In southern Italy, Naples is the third-largest city in the country, trailing only Rome and fashion-forward Milan, and continues to be a hive of activity. The city is full of vibrant artistic scenes, historic hotspots and some of the best beaches in the region. It’s also played supporting roles in many Hollywood hits. But, maybe most importantly, it is the birthplace of pizza. The hotels are equally as charming – tip-to-toe in Pompeiian mosaic tiles and gallery-esque walls against the azure blue waters right outside your window. From boutique boltholes in Rione Sanità to revitalised grande dames in Centro Storico, these are the best hotels in Naples.
How we choose the best hotels in Naples
Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location and warm service – as well as serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve.
Atelier Inès Arts & Suites, Rione Sanità
Best for: design
Opened in early summer 2021, this small hotel (just six individually designed rooms) serves as a showcase for artist Annibale Oste, whose works from the 1960s onwards are collected here. The building itself has an interesting back story, a family home on the site of an open-air cinema and theatre dating back to 1900, in the middle of the Vergini neighbourhood. The ground floor was home to Oste’s art studio, but it evolved under his son Vincenzo, who has now decided to open it up to guests. Nearby is Ciro Oliva, the Michelin-starred pizza restaurant, and Pasticceria Poppella – both of which will be involved in culinary experiences for those staying here, and landmarks such as the city’s opera house and catacombs.
