01 · In a sentence

Hotel Bristol in Sorrento, open MayAugust.

Built in 1902, Hotel Bristol has evolved from a grand Edwardian manor into a five-star wedding destination commanding the Sorrentine Peninsula.

The property underwent extensive restoration in the early 2000s, preserving period architectural details while introducing contemporary luxury amenities.

Perched on Via Capo with sweeping Tyrrhenian Sea views, the hotel offers terraced gardens, multiple event spaces, and direct access to the coastline.

We’ve had a fantastic week at the Bristol Hotel! The location is fantastic, only a short walk into Sorrento, and the views are stunning. The staff here are the best we’ve experienced before at any hotel, all make you feel very welcome and nothing is too much. Our room was clean and in good condition and our lady housekeeper (in the separate block) did a fantastic job. We were on the 3rd floor of the separate block and could hear the traffic from the road but it didn’t disturb us at night. Food was delicious too and there was always plenty of choice for dinner. We had to catch our bus back to the airport before breakfast started and were provided with a bag full of pastries which was a wonderful added touch. Overall a fantastic stay and we would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to visit the beautiful town of Sorrento
