Who We Are
The large, impressive entrance hall welcomes the visitor into a warm, elegant atmosphere. The doors close and the noises of the city fade into the background. Crossing the threshold of the Hotel Excelsior is like a step back into the past and rich tradition; on the wall to the right is an original engraving from 1775 commissioned by Giovanni Carafa the Duke of Noja and completed for the King of the Two Sicilies, Ferdinando IV. It is a map showing a view of the city and the layout of the ancient sea-front. This is an elegant, refined space, with antique carpets gracing the floors and sparkling lampshades from Murano lighting the marble drawing-room. One inevitably reflects on the events of ninety years of this hotel's existence, the many people who have stayed here and their influence on history this century. The drawing-rooms have hosted parties and banquets for important guests: royal families, aristocrats, financiers, actors and actresses from the stage and screen, artists and scientists, none of whom would have missed a stay at the Hotel Excelsior.
