Romeo Hotel
Uber-cool Neapolitan glass box
Centrally located with views out across the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius, this Kenzö Tange & Associates-designed tower brings a sheen of crisp modernity to its historic surrounds. Sandwiched between the simpatico of the University area and such enriching cultural sights as the Teatro di San Carlo, not to mention the doorstep proximity to the port and its access to Capri, a better spot is perhaps unlikely to be found. The 83 rooms and suites are modern and ever so Made in Italy, the spa cutting-edge and the dining Michelin-starred, courtesy of chef Salvator Bianco’s Mediterranean dishes.
