Frommer's Highly Recommended

A landmark building of the Liberty (Italian Art Nouveau) style, this glorious villa served as Allied headquarters in World War II and still features most of its original architectural details and statuary. The public spaces are splendid and definitely worth a visit even if you are not staying in the hotel. The commodious guest rooms fronting the bay share the same spectacular views as the public spaces and are decorated with elegant period furniture (different floors are decorated in various styles -- Louis XIV, Empire, and so on). Suites are truly elegant duplex apartments on two levels. The back rooms, however, are unremarkable, overlooking some greenery and the garage. The spa is world class, with treatments like hydrotherapy, inhalation therapy, and Turkish baths. George's, on the roof garden, is one of the best restaurants in Naples, and the bar features a separate cigar room.
