The Romeo is a boutique hotel overlooking both the port of Naples and the city. It's a deisgn-led retreat, overseen by the curatorial eye of Paul Tange. The result is an elegant, contemporary hotel perfect for those with a penchant for classic design. Staff here are cool and collected, in keeping with the chic and stylish vibe.

Naples itself is a stark and beautiful city renowned for its vibrancy and its cosmopolitan people. Should you wish to escape the four walls of the Romeo be sure to head to the via Toledo for all your designer shopping needs from there head to the far end of Spaccanapoli where the road branches into beautiful 13th and 14th-century streets and local coffee houses offer the perfect chance for some relaxed people watching.

The facilities

Facilities here are plentiful and beautifully executed. The spa has been designed to reflect Naples' meeting of Gulf and Volcano, and so follows the two poles of fire and water with a hydrotherapeutic pool, Hammam, an emotive and immersive Emotional Shower, state-of-the-art gym, pool and sundeck. Food-wise the Sushi Bar and Il Comandante vie for your attention with their bright open, sweeping spaces, and for afters the Cigar Room, designed by Don Davidoff, provides the perfect setting with its rich leathers balanced by opulent glass and fine selection of chocolates, liqueurs and cigars.

The rooms

Each of the Romeo's 83 rooms is elegant, polished and uniform but the suites are more individual with the choice of the Wellness, Japanese and Romeo, each offering their individual vibe and ambience. Each room comes complete with Poltrona Frau furniture, Caprai linen and silk sheets, bathrooms which feature deep soaking tubs by Philippe Stark, Nespresso coffee machine, Bang & Olufsen and Jacob Jensen telephones with two-line systems, high-speed internet, and Digital cameras, mobile phones and laptops on request.
