To plant yourself in the heart of Naples nightlife and shopping, you can't beat this swank property whose rooms are well soundproofed to shut out the activity when you're ready to seclude yourself in comfort. When you're not, slide open the French doors and tune in to 5th Avenue from the balcony. A spa completes a list of urban amenities that also include a lively Irish pub, a rooftop pool, and an arched, columned marble lobby hung with crystal chandeliers. A theater is next door and the beach is six blocks away. The pub is ultrafriendly, but the front desk staff is known to be less than helpful. Pros: near shopping and restaurants, metro vibe, very comfortable rooms. Cons: a little bustly if you prefer quiet, staff with an attitude, not on the beach.
