Chiaja Hotel de Charme
$$, Naples
Fodor's Review:
No views, but there's plenty of atmosphere in these converted first-floor apartments that occupy a spruce 18th-century palazzo, part of which includes a converted historic brothel. Above the fireplace in the cozy entrance hall, the distinguished-looking chap with the moustache in the painting is the Marchese Nicola Le Caldano Sasso III, original owner of the building (though not, one assumes, the brothel), whose granddaughter Mimi now runs the place. Antiques, many of them original to the Marquis's home, give a personal touch to the elegant, air-conditioned, period-feel bedrooms (most have whirlpool baths). A two-minute walk from Piazza Plebiscito and the Royal Palace and a stagger from the liveliest nightlife in town in the backstreets around Piazza dei Martiri, this also has a top location (although its Via Chiaia locale is not quite within the purview of the Riviera di Chiaia district, covered separately below). If you're anxious to get out in the morning, vouchers for breakfast in the nearby Gambrinus caffè or the Barcadero at the Borgo Marinaro are available on request.

If we had not take a cab to the hotel I don't think we would have found it. The huge wooden doors didn't reveal an inkling of what was behind them. The hotel is beautifully decorated with antiques, the staff was very helpful. We mentioned we wanted to hear some jazz and they found two different clubs. They suggested the best forms of transportation to sites we wanted to see. You feel like you are in the heart of old Naples. The streets fill with people who just seem to be enjoying themselves in the evennings. The beds are a little firm.
