Hotel Lorelei Londres
Near-monochrome minimalist-luxe with serious historical bones. White walls, blue sea, no clutter. The all-white interiors feel calm rather than cold — the setting does all the work. Romantic and intimate without trying too hard.
Book dinner at Ristorante Lorelei well in advance — the terrace fills fast, especially in peak summer
Why It Matters
One of the very few hotels in Sorrento with a Michelin-starred restaurant on-site — the one-star Lorelei helmed by Chef Ciro Sicignano, who sources vegetables from two private kitchen gardens and has a dedicated olive oil menu. The Roman ruins beneath the building (and the aqueduct in the wine cellar) give it genuine history that most Amalfi properties just fake.
That old 'Albergo Lorelei Londres' sign still tops this red Liberty-style building on Sorrento's cliff edge, but the inside has been completely rebuilt. Renovated in 2019 by the Apuzzo family — Sorrento hoteliers since 1962 — the hotel sits directly on intact ancient Roman ruins, complete with an actual aqueduct visible in the wine cellar below. Nineteen rooms, all white with ocean-blue accents, face the Bay of Naples; the best ones have a private terrace with an outdoor jacuzzi and views straight across to Vesuvius.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Chilling Deluxe Sea View
This is the one to book if you want the most outdoor space at the hotel. The interior is actually the smallest (23sqm), but the private terrace stretches to 40sqm — the biggest private outdoor space of any room — with a jacuzzi and sunbeds facing the sea. A glass-walled shower sits inside the bedroom itself, which feels very resort-y. Genuinely one of the standout rooms.
King (180cm x 200cm) or Twin · 23 sqm
Deluxe
Garden and city-facing room — the entry category and the only one not looking at the sea. At 31sqm it's actually the largest of the standard rooms. The stand-out feature here is the full jacuzzi bathtub with a separate shower, which the sea-view rooms don't always get. Balcony overlooks the garden and Sorrento.
King (180cm x 200cm) or Twin · 31 sqmDeluxe Junior Suite with Sea View and Terrace with Jacuzzi
The flagship room. 37sqm inside plus a 38sqm wraparound terrace with jacuzzi and sunbeds. Separated shower and jacuzzi bathtub inside, full living area. All white with sea and sky framed through every window and the terrace. Guest reviews consistently call this the best room in the house for couples.
King (180cm x 200cm) or Twin · 37 sqmDeluxe Sea View
The entry point for those after a sea view. At 24sqm it's the smallest room on offer — compact but well-designed, with a balcony facing directly over the Gulf. No bathtub here, just a shower. All the standard in-room tech and ETRO toiletries are present.
King (180cm x 200cm) or Twin · 24 sqmDeluxe Superior Sea View
A step above the standard Deluxe Sea View with superior finishes and sea-facing outlook. Full standard in-room amenities including minibar, Nespresso, ETRO toiletries, Chromecast, and soundproofed windows.
King (180cm x 200cm) or TwinJunior Suite with Sea View and Balcony
Sea-facing junior suite with a proper balcony — no jacuzzi outside but a cleaner, more open feel. Living area in the bedroom adds breathing room. Standard suite amenities with ETRO toiletries and full in-room tech.
King (180cm x 200cm) or TwinJunior Suite with Sea View and Terrace with Jacuzzi
34sqm interior with an 18sqm private terrace, jacuzzi, and sunbeds. Gold and white interiors with turquoise accents that track back to the sea outside. The terrace is more intimate than the Deluxe Junior Suite above it. Either a large shower or a 2-person jacuzzi bathtub inside. Good option for couples who want suite space without the top-tier price.
