Open since 2010, the 14-room La Ciliegina Lifestyle Hotel is a cool boutique located on the third floor of an office building. Intimate but without many of the major hotel amenities, the La Ciliegina is thoughtfully furnished with unusual details and has a bright, whitewashed Mediterranean feeling that extends to the rooftop terrace, where Bellinis and views can be enjoyed from a whirlpool.
Scene
Intimate but not crowded, quirky, bright, and comfortable
Three floors above a busy Naples street, the La Ciliegina Lifestyle Hotel is cozy and cool, with bright modern furnishings and comfortable nooks and crannies where guests can relax with an espresso and read a newspaper from home on the hotel's iPad. The quirkily charming lobby is more of a small lounge, with inviting armchairs, but the rooftop terrace is the highlight of the La Ciliegina's public areas. With several levels, an outdoor shower, a whirlpool, plenty of white wicker furniture, a fresh herb garden, and spectacular city views, the terrace is a perfect place to relax in the sun far above the Naples street hustle. This hotel is filled with fun, stylish touches, from the black-and-white photographs and funky sconces on the walls to the Lucite tables and chairs in the bar/breakfast room, and more.
Location
In central Naples, near the harbor, accessible to everything
Ideally located in central Naples' Medina District on a cobblestone street lined with ubiquitous Vespas, the La Ciliegina Lifestyle Hotel is close to the Castel Nuovo and the Teatro di San Carlo, and a short walk to the metro and funicular railway, which gives access to the rest of the city. Guests can walk to the harbor and, from there, board a boat or hydrofoil to any of the nearby islands or the Amalfi Coast.
Rooms
Bright and inviting, with locally crafted furniture
Rooms at the La Ciliegina Lifestyle Hotel are contemporary and inviting, with a clean, whitewashed feel, gabled ceilings, and cheerful blue-and-white fabrics. Beds and furniture are handcrafted by Neapolitan cabinetmakers. Pretty gray marble bathrooms feel super luxe. Some have whirlpool baths; some have showers with multiple heads. The hotel provides a full array of toiletries, minibars, in-room safes, and flat-screen TVs with English channels. Some rooms have skylights with shades that are operated by remote control.
Features
Delicious buffet breakfast, in-room movie packages, rooftop hot tub
The buffet breakfast at the La Ciliegina Lifestyle Hotel is delicious, and guests who would rather eat in private than in the cozy breakfast room can have the food delivered to their rooms for no extra charge. In the lobby, the hotel provides iPads for guests to read newspapers from home. Fun in-room movie packages are available, and include snacks, beer, and soda for the kids. Drinks are available on the rooftop terrace, where guests can relax on chaise longues and catch rays, enjoy the hot tub, or find shade under a beach umbrella.
