Hotel Piazza Bellini

Set in the beating heart of Naples' centro storico, in a grand 18th-century palazzo, is the stylish and contemporary Hotel Piazza Bellini. While the hotel’s building has its place in history, it is now brimming with youthful and enthusiastic staff who are welcoming and very well-versed in organising transfers, guided tours and visits, and making sure your stay is as comfortable and exciting as it can be. Being the gateway to the famous Spaccanapoli and hub of Naples' modern-day café culture and lively nightlife, the Hotel Piazza Bellini is truly made for travellers who want to be in thick of things.

Top Tips
• While the Hotel Piazza Bellini’s location may suggest a steep price range, it’s actually one of the most reasonably priced accommodations in the area. And with the best of Naples at your doorstep (a 3-minute walk from the Spaccanapoli shopping area, 350m away from  Naples Archaeological Museum is 350 m, and only 1.2 km from the  Naples Harbour), you’d be hard-pressed to find a better located hotel.
• The Hotel Piazza Bellini consists of 48 bedrooms that are functional rather than cosy and feature heavyweight design pieces such as Philippe Stark's Ghost chairs and Artemide Tolomeo lamps. The rooms come in three styles; bi-level, terrace and standard-economy. While choosing a room really just comes down to budget and size preference, previous guests have recommended booking one of the rooms that face the hotel’s inner courtyard as they tend to be quieter than the rooms facing the street.
• If you are travelling with a family or a big group of friends, there are triple and quadruple rooms suitable for both! For those travelling with children, it is worth noting that children under the age of three stay free of charge. Cots, baby baths and high chairs are also available and can be provided on request. For larger families or groups of friends, Hotel Piazza Bellini also offers a large self-catering apartment that can sleep up to seven people; these rooms also come with a small kitchen allowing you to cook some of your meals (and perhaps save some money).
• Naples Historical Centre is a great choice for travellers interested in churches, old town exploring and museums. The best attractions in the area include the Piazza San Domenico Maggiore and San Severo Chapel (where you can see remains of the original 10th-century Romanesque church and early Renaissance art), Via San Gregorio Armeno (lined with artisan workshops that make statuettes and scenery for the famous Neapolitan nativity scenes), and Naples Underground (where you can explore the ancient aqueducts now buried under the modern city).
• Naples is known as the birthplace of pizza and eggplant parmesan, so as a visitor of the city, it is your obligation to eat as much Neapolitan food as you possibly can. Among the recommended restaurants are Da Michele Pizza (who have been making pizza since 1870), L'Europeo Di Mattozzi (where you can find lots of good appetizers, typical pasta dishes, great seafood, and meats), and La Cantina di Via Sapienza di Formato Gaetano (a small family-run cantina which is a good place for an inexpensive lunch of typical Neapolitan food).
