Where to sleep in Naples? Naples is a typical southern Italian city: bustling and bubbling at the same time. Discover our charming and modern accommodation in the heart of the city.
Naples is, quite simply, a city in Campania, where many artists have passed through, as it used to be an essential stopover for them. There are many contrasts here, from the chaotic to the refined and very Italian, where you can feel the history of the region.
We invite you to read our articles on Naples and the Amalfi Coast to help you plan your trip and find some great places to visit.

| A MODERN HOTEL ON THE PORT OF NAPLES: THE ROMEO
See Vesuvius from your room. Thehotel Romeo is located on the harbor, making it a convenient central point for early morning departures to the islands in the bay, and is close to the city’s main districts, just a 10-minute walk away, but also faces the Vesuvius as well as the famous island of Capri.
Let’s start with the hotel lobby. The establishment is decorated with objets d’art donated 8 years ago by Italian artists, making this hotel an atypical place in Naples. Here, we invite you to relax and share with us in our family area, where you’ll find billiards, table soccer, a library and a beautiful jukebox.
A little hunger? direction the sushi bar on the ground floor, offering an Italian-Japanese fusion with sushi for 50 euros or a succulent pasta dish for 20 euros. The setting is just incredible: you dine on a designer high table with a flowing fountain!
Bedrooms, you won’t be disappointed by the service. As you enter the corridors, you’ll be carried away by the scent of wild berries, before discovering a spacious, modern room. Well appointed, tastefully decorated and with ultra-comfortable bedding that’s both soft and cozy, you’ll have a very pleasant night’s sleep, just like we did. In the early morning, you’ll enjoy the superb breakfast buffet including eggs, cheeses, Italian cured meats in chiffonade form and fresh juices. All this, facing the sea and Vesuvius, of course!
Head for the next floor of the hotel, where you can enjoy Italian flavors and its fresh produce. The hotel’s two restaurants offer refined cuisine and breathtaking views! We love that you can try the chef’s surprise menu of 6 courses at 115€ or the 8-course menu at 140€ or choose the gastronomic Italian cuisine at this Michelin-starred restaurant. The hotel Romeo has all the assets to charm you with their spa and branded products as well as rooftop pool no, you’re not dreaming!

| UN HÔTEL DE CHARME EN PLEIN CENTRE VILLE DE NAPLES : LE CHIAJA
Vous vous posez la question de trouver un point central pour pouvoir profiter de Naples à pied ? Et bien, nous vous présentons l’hôtel Chiaja, situé dans la rue la via Chiaia, non loin de la plaza del Plebiscito et de la plaza San Ferdinando.
Situé à 10 minutes à pied du port d’où partent les bateaux pour les îles de Procida, Ischia et Capri, il est également dans une rue piétonne et très commerçante, à deux pas de la “Via Toledo“. Vous pourrez donc trouver bon nombre de restaurants, de boutiques pour acheter des souvenirs, ou comme Antoine, se refaire un style à l’italienne 😉 car cela vaut vraiment le coup!
Vous accéderez donc à l’hôtel par la rue piétonne et vous le trouverez dans une petite cour intérieure d’un très vieux bâtiment Napolitain, caché derrière une grande porte. Un bel escalier en pierre dans le fond de la cour dessert l’entrée et la décoration quant à elle s’inscrit dans un style rétro avec notamment de vieux objets de la vie de tous les jours.
Les chambres ne sont pas forcément spacieuses mais de taille normales et toutes climatisées. Les tapisseries de la chambre vous transporteront dans une Italie romanesque avec une chambre simplement équipée d’une salle de bain (sèche cheveux fourni) au style rétro et un petit balcon donnant sur la rue. Bien qu’elle soit passante, la rue n’est pas forcément bruyante.
Le petit déjeuner est lui servi sous forme de buffet sucré salé, dans la salle de restaurant de l’accueil avec un choix de jus de fruits, de yaourts, de pâtisseries napolitaines et de charcuteries locales. Ce n’est pas le plus copieux des petits déjeuners mais il est bon.
L’hôtel est bien évidemment équipée du wifi et d’un salon pour lire, ou surfer sur votre téléphone. Si comme nous, vous arrivez en voiture, un parking privé est à disposition à côté de l’hôtel.
En somme, cet hôtel est un bon compromis entre son emplacement et son prix pour pouvoir profiter pleinement de la vieille ville de Naples. Le quartier de Chiaia est un choix idéal pour les voyageurs qui s’intéressent à l’ambiance d’une ville et qui aiment les locaux chaleureux. C’est le quartier préféré des voyageurs visitant Naples et on comprend pourquoi.
