Capri accommodation - Hotel Excelsior Parco, Capri

Hotel Excelsior Parco, Capri

Set in the Bay of Naples, the island of Capri has been a magnet for visitors since Roman times when the Emperor Tiberius made the island his permanent home. Early last century the island became the chic holiday destination of writers, artists and celebrities and has continued to be a favourite with the rich and famous ever since, with Graham Greene and, more recently, Mariah Carey owning houses there.

Built in 1906, the four-star Hotel Excelsior Parco soon became one of the exclusive haunts for visitors. Since then it has been carefully restored to its former glory and is decorated in a unique style with Art Deco and Oriental influences. Each room is comfortable and airy, with air conditioning, direct-dial telephone, shower, toilet, minibar, satellite television, alarm clock/radio and an internet connection. Here, guests can enjoy spectacular views of the Bay of Naples while soaking up the sun on the terrace, stroll in the extensive gardens or enjoy a dip in the whirlpool bath. A range of services is provided including a 24-hour front desk, laundry and room service, car and scooter rental and a babysitting service.

The hotel makes a convenient base for enjoying the many sights of Capri, including the famous Blue Grotto with its iridescent waters, the Roman Emperor Tiberius' Villa Jovis, and the bustling central square of La Piazzetta. Its proximity to the Marina Grande port and beach also means that the attractions of Naples and Sorrento are just a short boat trip away.
