The Grand Hotel Parker’s, built in 1870 to become the first prestigious establishment to open in Naples, offers a superb panorama from a hill in the elegant Chiaia quarter. To the right, the tip of the Posillipo peninsula; to the left, beyond Vesuvius, the city of Sorrento and, in the distance, the islands of Ischia and Capri, tempting guests to set off on an island getaway. With Hungarian-point parquet floors, crystal chandeliers, silky draperies, and period furniture, the Grand Hotel Parker’s rooms and suites have the discreet charm of a refined, yet unostentatious, classicism. Such elegance and dolce vita are also experienced at The George restaurant, where Chef Domenico Candela conducts a culinary symphony from a Neapolitan score, a performance to be enjoyed high on the rooftop, gazing upon the timeless beauty of the Bay of Naples.
