Scene
Upscale chain hotel with minimalist decor in a 19th-century building on Piazza Garibaldi
The UNA Hotel Napoli is housed in an elegant 19th-century building with a beige facade, brown shutters, and iron balconies that overlook the constantly buzzing Piazza Garibaldi. Inside, the aesthetic is modern, sleek, and minimalist: clean white walls, low-lying black leather couches, a bright-red accent wall, and contemporary artwork. A counter with black stools looks out a large window and offers a nice spot for guests to sit and use the computer or plan a day out in Naples. Crystal sculptures and large cacti in shiny black pots enhance the room, though there's something of a chain-hotel feeling to the space -- understandably, as UNA is a small chain with hotels throughout Italy. Still, there are nice touches, such as a gray marble staircase, exposed brick walls, and a vaulted skylight near the elevators. The terrace is also a lovely spot for relaxing and taking in the panoramic views, with numerous potted plants lending charm to the brown wicker furniture. Overall, the property is best-suited to business travelers and others seeking a reliably comfortable stay that don't mind the lack of character.
Location
In Garibaldi Square, 15 minutes east of the historic district on foot
The UNA Hotel Napoli is in the highly trafficked Garibaldi Square on the corner of the Corso Umberto, lined with a nice selection of bars, pizzerias, and shops. Across the street from the hotel are a tram station and metro. The public transportation allows travelers to get to the main sights of the historic center in about 20 minutes. Walking to the historic center is also convenient: Chiesa di San Gregorio Armeno, Museo Cappella Sansever, and the Duomo are within 15 to 20 minutes away on foot. The National Archaeological Museum and Teatro di San Carlo are both within 30 minutes' walk. The drive to the Naples International Airport takes 20 minutes. Pompeii is about 30 minutes away by car.
