Grand Hotel La Favorita

Grand Hotel La Favorita details

A striking mix of old-school splendour and boutique chic – that’s what the Hotel La Favorita promises.

Displaying all the hallmarks of a boutique hideaway, the brand new La Favorita is one of those design-led hotels you see in lifestyle magazines. Take the Champagne lobby bar, for instance. Dripping in chandeliers and decked out with white Chesterfield sofas, it’s a glamorous venue for cocktails.

And the bedrooms are just as chic. We’re talking pretty blue-and-white-tiled flooring, carved walnut beds and Queen Anne-style furniture. Ornate gilt-framed mirrors add to the regal feel. But despite the classic feel, modern trimmings like Wi-Fi, flatscreen TVs and minibars are all part of the set-up. You get your own balcony, too.

Elsewhere, the hotel has a fabulous rooftop pool complete with unbeatable panoramic views of Mount Vesuvius. There’s also a snack bar up here, which comes with a pretty al fresco dining terrace.

Lastly, there’s the location to consider. La Favorita is right in the heart of Sorrento, so you’re just footsteps away from Piazza Tasso, the main square. Lined with cafés, bars and restaurants, it’s a great place to people watch.

When you fancy exploring the coast, there’s a lift that takes you directly down to the seafront below the hotel.
