How to choose a hotel in Naples

On the Lungomare, Via Partenope follows the Santa Lucia waterfront opposite Castel dell’Ovo and Borgo Marinari, and its seafront hotels look across the Gulf of Naples. Chiaia, just inland, is the elegant district of Piazza dei Martiri and Via Alabardieri, with Corso Vittorio Emanuele climbing the hill behind it. The Centro Storico puts you among palazzi, churches and courtyards around Piazza Bellini, a walk from the historic pizzerias of Via dei Tribunali. Toledo and Municipio, between Via Toledo, the Quartieri Spagnoli and the port, suit travellers taking Metro Line 1 or a ferry to the islands. Holiplanet read the overall guest scores on Booking.com’s public Naples pages on 24 October 2026, kept only hotels scoring 8.0/10 or higher and checked each official website and contact. It is an editorial selection, not a ranking or paid placement. For transport, ferries and what to see, open the Naples City Guide.
