Hilton Sorrento Palace
Sorrento (Centre) | Italy
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wrapped in scented citrus gardens on the hillside above Sorrento, Hilton Sorrento Palace pairs widescreen Bay of Naples views with contemporary comfort and a resort-style pool scene. Think cascading turquoise pools, sleek glass-and-stone architecture, and bright modern rooms gazing towards Mount Vesuvius or the green hills behind. With a choice of restaurants and bars, an indoor pool for cooler days, and executive rooms that unlock a private lounge, this is a polished base for exploring Sorrento, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.
Citrus groves, sweeping terraces and a tiered pool deck overlooking the Bay of Naples make Hilton Sorrento Palace feel like a modern clifftop retreat above the old town. Spend lazy days drifting between the outdoor pools and indoor pool, then wander downhill to Sorrento’s cobbled streets and waterfront trattorias before ending the evening with a Negroni on the terrace as Vesuvius fades into silhouette.
For couples and families who want Italy’s Sorrento Area charm with resort-style comfort, Hilton Sorrento Palace delivers the balance: panoramic sea views, a choice of pools and dining venues, and easy access to the historic centre. It’s approximately 1 hour 45 minutes from Naples (NAP) airport. See more Italy holidays.

Location | Hilton Sorrento Palace
Location
Hilton Sorrento Palace sits in an elevated, tranquil position just above Sorrento’s historic centre, framed by lemon trees and bougainvillea. You’re close enough to stroll into town for gelato on Piazza Tasso, yet far enough up the hill to enjoy sweeping views across the Bay of Naples to Mount Vesuvius.
It’s a great base for day trips: hop on the Circumvesuviana train from Sorrento station for Pompeii and Naples, take a ferry to Capri from the marina, or join boat excursions along the Amalfi Coast. After sightseeing, return to the hotel’s peaceful gardens and cool marble interiors.
