An introduction to Grand Hotel President

It’s usually only films that are labelled ‘epic’. However, the views from the Grand Hotel President fit into this category, too. From its hillside perch, the Grand Hotel President gazes across the rooftops of Sorrento out towards the Bay of Naples. It’s a picture-postcard scene of umbrella pines, dramatic cliffs and peacock-blue waters. In the distance, you can even make out the silhouette of Mount Vesuvius.

The hotel certainly makes the most of this fabulous panorama. In the gardens, carefully placed benches and chaises longues let you soak up the views. The swimming pool, meanwhile, is set in a yawning sun terrace that gazes out over the bay. Likewise the bougainvillea-draped snack bar. Perhaps the best place to drink in the vista though, is from the rooftop bar.

Views aside, the hotel itself is rather special. It’s every inch the good-looking Italian. Contemporary chic meets classical style in the public areas. The lounge features elegant wood flooring accessorised with blue and green sofas and banquettes. The restaurant, meanwhile, is a sea of marble teamed with high-backed apple-green chairs. As for the bedrooms, they feature heavy drapes, painted floor tiles and elegant inlaid wood furniture. In terms of facilities, they come with satellite TVs, hairdryers and minibars. Sea-view rooms are available, too.

As this hotel is part of the Thomson Gold collection, you can expect great things on the food front. Breakfast brings tasty buffets while dinner is all about bow-tie waiter service - there’s a new, exciting menu every evening. There are lavish weekly gala dinners, too. And dining is made all the more special by the dramatic views served up by floor-to-ceiling windows. Particular attention is also paid to the entertainment. From tinkling ivories to comedy nights and live music, evenings here have plenty of sparkle.

Factor in a shuttle bus service that whisks you down into the centre of Sorrento and a first-class spa – complete with sauna, whirlpool and steam room – and you’ve got a sensational hotel that’s deserving of its Thomson Gold status.
