Grand Hotel Excelsior Italy partners with Serene Experience for India

This iconic Amalfi Coast hotel was founded by the Fiorentino family in 1834 in Sorrento, Italy. The family’s fifth generation is running the hotel today keeping alive a long tradition in the name of the Italian hospitality excellence.

A member of the Leading Hotels of the World since 2000, the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria is a 5 star luxury hotel of exclusive style and elegance with its authentic interiors and furnishings. The hotel is located in Sorrento town centre and sits on a high cliff with spectacular views over the Gulf of Naples with Mount Vesuvius. This is the same place where, the legend goes, the Roman Emperor Augustus had his own villa. Easy to recognize when arriving from the sea, the

hotel’s three classic style Nineteenth century buildings are just above the town harbour. The property is surrounded by lush greenery of a unique Mediterranean garden of 20,000 sq. metres where guests also find the spa and pool area. Over the years, in its long history, the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria was part of the Grand Tour and it has welcomed monarchs, politicians, artists and celebrities. Among the others, Richard Wagner, Enrico Caruso, Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe, Luciano Pavarotti, Sophia Loren and Lucio Dalla have all appreciated the hotel’s elegance and its attentive service

All 84 guestrooms at Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria are elegantly furnished with antiques collected over the years. No two rooms are the same and many have original bathrooms. Some rooms also come with balconies giving you all you need to re-enact those scenes from that rather famous Shakespeare play. The hotel’s Michelin-starred seafront restaurant, state-of-art fitness room, outdoor pool and spa facilities are sure-fire hits with couples.

As the gateway to one of the most romantic destinations in Europe, Sorrento is as beautiful and authentic as you’d expect. Known for its lacework boutiques, ceramics and marble intarsia, the town is an excellent base for exploring the entire region of Amalfi Coast. Guests don’t have to stray too far to enjoy the area’s striking coastline. The seafront is just 300 metres away, and easily accessed via the hotel lift and a stroll along the promenade where hydrofoils leave for day trips to Naples and Capri.
