A traditional hotel with leafy gardens, private swimming pool and terrace
Situated in the heart of the historic centre with stunning views
Authentic Neapolitan cuisine served in the sea-facing restaurant

Rising out of the rocks of the Sorrentine Peninsula, the Imperial Hotel Tramontano is situated amid lush grounds and is ideally located in the historic centre of bustling Sorrento on the Neapolitan Riviera. The hotel is traditional and the style is that of faded grandeur. It embraces its unique heritage - once a popular stop on the Grand Tours of the 18th and 19th centuries, the hotel has played host to many illustrious writers, including Byron, Shelley and Keats. And we can see why - the stupendous sea views over the Bay of Naples come complete with Mount Vesuvius in the background.

The hotel’s gardens, designed in 1888, are home to many rare, centuries-old Mediterranean and sub-tropical plants. Picture yourself in the evenings on the hotel’s wonderful bar terrace, an aperitivo in hand, watching a stunning sunset.

Bedrooms are dated and incorporate the hotel's historic features.

The tranquil pool means you don’t ever have to leave the grounds, but if you fancy a dip in the sea, then why not make a splash by taking the external public lift down to the bathing platform located directly below the hotel ( not owned by the hotel) , entrance is free of charge but sunbeds and umbrellas are payable locally ( in 2024 the charge was €18 per day for a sunbed and €10 per day for an umbrella). The platform also provides easy access to the port and is a great departure point for visiting the rest of this stunning area, including the nearby (and gorgeous) Amalfi coast and island of Capri.

The hotel has 68 rooms (official rating 4 stars). Child prices apply to ages 2-11 ages. Minimum stay 3 nights.

About the location

Sorrento is set in the heart of Italy’s Neapolitan Riviera and is one of the loveliest towns on the coast. Palatial hotels nestle comfortably next to typical Campanian restaurants serving gnocchi alla Sorrentina, while busy, buzzy shops line the historic streets. Imperial Hotel Tramontano’s ideal location in the heart of Sorrento means you only have to step outside the grounds to find yourself in the romantic, lemon-scented alleys that thrive with life. Once you’ve enjoyed a spot of shopping - the region’s ceramics are particularly noteworthy - recharge with a latte or limoncello in Piazza Tasso and watch the world go by.

Sorrento is the perfect jumping-off spot for visiting the rest of the Amalfi Coast. An excellent waterbus service will take you to any of the nearby must-see places such as Positano and Capri. Culture vultures will not want to miss a chance to visit Pompeii, just a short 30-minute train (or taxi) ride away. If you’re after more cosmopolitan charms, Naples is just over an hour by road.

The Neapolitan Riviera is famed as one of the world’s most beautiful coastlines, and we wholeheartedly agree!

Terrible room and ugly view

Room was just awful. Smelled musty, very outdated and our view was of a rusty roof when we'd reserved and paid for a garden view. Hotel staff was dismissive arguing a rusty roof WAS a garden view...
