Grand Hotel Parker's

A hotel of 1870 above the gulf

The Parker's is the oldest hotel in Naples: it opened in 1870 and Robert Louis Stevenson, Virginia Woolf and Oscar Wilde passed through it, according to the hotel itself. It is on Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the road that runs along the mid-slope of the Chiaia hill, and from there you see the whole gulf, from Posillipo to Vesuvius. It is a luxury five-star with 67 rooms and suites, and the atmosphere of a classic grand hotel: Italian marble, crystal chandeliers, heavy curtains and period furniture.

It suits those who want a special night in Naples or who prefer to sleep away from the noise of the historic centre and go down to it when they like. It is not a hotel for walking to everything: the old town is below and to the east, and the normal thing is to get around by taxi or public transport.

The rooms

There are five room categories: Standard, Classic, Deluxe with a view of the inner courtyard, Deluxe with a sea view and Deluxe with two queen beds and a view of the gulf. Above them are the suites, with names such as Parker's Suite, Honeymoon Suite or the two duplexes Prestige and Privilege, all with the sea in front, and the Signature Suites, larger, which the hotel suggests for travelling as a family. The difference that matters is the view: if you pay for the sea, you see the gulf and Vesuvius; the inner ones look onto the courtyard and are quieter.

Eating and drinking without leaving

The hotel has the George Restaurant, which the house presents with two Michelin stars, and the Bidder Terrace, a terrace with cocktails and all-day cooking. Breakfast is served on the terrace with a view of the gulf. In autumn 2026 the hotel also sells the terrace to non-guests: an aperitif with a sea view for €37, breakfast on the terrace for €57 and a tasting menu for €137 per person, until 15 December.

Getting there

It is at number 135 Corso Vittorio Emanuele, in the Chiaia district. From the airport or the central station the most convenient is a taxi. From 5 October to 1 December 2026 the hotel offers the transfer if you stay at least two nights. For the historic centre and Via Toledo, go down by taxi or combine the funiculars and the metro.
