Luxury bespoke hotel holidays to the Grand Hotel Parker's, Naples, Italy
Grand Hotel Parker’s has been a legendary hotel in Naples since 1870. Today the hotel is a 5-star deluxe hotel situated, in an elevated position, in the elegant district of Chiaia, about 15 minutes by taxi to the historical centre of the city. At the end of the 19th century what had been the Hotel Tramontano Beau Rivale was acquired by a wealthy English marine biologist, George Parker Bidder, who used to stay here whilst working at the Royal Villa Communale in Naples. Grand Hotel Parker’s as it became known was transformed into a select retreat for the literary and cultural elite of British high society. In the aftermath of WWII, the hotel was saved again, by Francesco Paolo Avellone, patron of the arts. In the intervening years, the Grand Hotel Parker’s has kept pace with the times yet respecting the grand traditions and history of the building. Amid its splendid and immaculate surroundings, service is the keynote to the hotel. From room service to baby-sitting, from laundry and ironing to offering top-rated Clefs d’Or concierge service, the hotel excels. The cuisine is outstanding with a show kitchen headed by a dynamic chef from Naples, Domenico Candela, in the Michelin-star Restaurant George. Enjoy the superb fine-dining here with a panoramic vista of the Bay of Naples. Breakfast and lunch can be taken at Muse restaurant, more informally, yet still with fantastic views of the city of Naples and the bay. On the sixth floor is a piano lounge and terrace, where all-day dining is offered with a menu created by chef Vincenzo Fiorvante, who offers gourmet versions of traditional Neapolitan dishes. This is also the place to enjoy a cocktail whilst listening to live music. The hotel offers 67 rooms and suites decorated and furnished in a style that embraces the history of the hotel and contemporary comforts. Priceless antiques embellish the classic tones of parquet floors and light walls. The owners of the Grand Hotel Parker’s also own an award-winning historic vineyard, Villa Matilde, about an hour’s drive north of Naples. Visits to the vineyard can be arranged.

About Naples
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to Naples is a gateway to the south of Italy or ‘mezzogiorno’ and offers a completely different atmosphere to even Rome, which is only a couple of hours away. The hustle and bustle of daily life is partly due to the fact that it is a major sea port and the city has therefore grown up around the trades that have made it prosper. But with the distant shadow of Mount Vesuvius about 5 miles away, always visible from the city, an element of risk or danger creeps into the psyche of the Neapolitans. Not that the volcano poses a direct danger currently, as it has not erupted since 1946 and none of its eruptions have been as severe as that which smothered Pompeii and Herculaneum back in AD79. The pace of life in Naples is punctuated by the eclectic mix of cars, moped, lorries and livestock all jostling for position on the busy streets. Naples is the perfect place to start or end a tour of the southern coast and is well worth a few days stay. A visit to the Archaeological Museum is an absolute must for anyone planning on visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum, as it houses most of the artefacts salvaged from these sites.
Highlights of Naples
It is easy to take the hydrofoil from Naples port to the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida. Please ask our reservations team for more details. There is a good rail service along the coast to Herculaneaum, Pompeii, Sorrento and beyond. For those who are looking for a spot of physical activity it is also possible to scale Mount Vesuvius. A bus service runs from outside the station at Herculaneum up to within a couple of hours walk from the crater.
Cultural highlights of Naples
The Museo Archeologico Nazionale, the Palazzo Reale di Capodimonte and the gallery of the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte. which has numerous works of art by Perugino, Botticelli, Lippi and Brueghels. The Castle of Sant’Elmo at the top of the hill overlooking the old city of Naples is an impressive 14th Century fortification, still partially in use today.
Festivals in Naples
Naples hosts numerous music festivals and art exhibitions throughout the summer months. The city’s Saint, San Gennaro, is celebrated on the first Saturday in May and again in mid-September and mid-December, when the preserved blood of the saint is said to miraculously liquefy. Being the home of the Margherita Pizza, there is, of course, a Pizza Festival which lasts for ten days in September. Pizza chefs or ‘Pizzaiuoli’ from around Italy congregate in Naples to out wit each other in the perfecting the art of pizza-making!
Gastronomy in Naples
The world-renowned Pizza comes from Naples and the local pizzerias serve some of the best tasting pizzas you are likely to ever sample! Locally caught fresh sea food is also superb and does not need to be expensive. Simple, fresh ingredients, particularly tomatoes, aubergines, peppers and large varieties of fruit are grown locally and are superb.
