Grand Hotel President details
With jaw-dropping views over the Bay of Naples, the Grand Hotel President was an obvious choice for the Thomson Platinum collection.
The Grand Hotel President offers up some of the best views in Italy. The property is set on a hilltop and looks out over the inlets of the Sorrento Coast, the Mediterranean Sea and Mount Vesuvius. You’ll get the best vistas from the chaise lounges in the gardens, the sun terrace by the swimming pool, and the wicker armchairs on the rooftop bar.
The hotel itself is a great example of Italian good looks. The bedrooms are traditional with tiled floors and plenty of inlaid wood handwork, and the communal areas are grand, with marble staircases and chandeliers.
On the food front, the hotel’s restaurant serves a buffet breakfast and offers waiter-service dinners, with a different menu every day.
