Grand Hotel Capodimonte was founded on 10 May 1859 during the last year of Bourbon domination. Turned into a four stars hotel, it has kept today the old architectural structure of the past. Entering the old main gate, you quickly get to the hall where time seems to have stopped 150 years ago. In just a few steps you see the breathtaking scenery of the old court that is illuminated by a wonderful skylight and enriched with some heavenly ample - sized rooms, once meant for the nuns of the convent. The Grand Hotel Capodimonte is located in a privileged area from where you can easily reach historical and cultural sites such as the sumptuous Museo di Capodimonte, the richest museum in Italy for the quality and quantity of its works of art, the Bosco Reale, the Museo Archeologico di Napoli which is famous all over the world, the picturesque Catacombe di San Gennaro and the Astronomical Observatory of Capodimonte. These places are the best expression of Neapolitan culture and allow you to live an unforgettable stay in a dreamlike atmosphere.
