Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set along pedestrian Via Toledo in San Ferdinando, the palazzo faces Galleria Umberto I near Teatro di San Carlo.
The rooms
Sensory showers come with chromotherapy lighting, and select suites place whirlpool tubs directly beneath vaulted ceilings.
At the table
Traditional Neapolitan pastries fill the breakfast buffet in the fireplace lounge, followed by evening wine tastings and aperitivi.
How it began
Founder Manuela Aloschi shaped the hotel around childhood memories of listening to old Neapolitan songs on her father's gramophone.
