Hotel Paradiso, BW Signature Collection

Hotel Paradiso, BW Signature Collection is a four-star hotel at Via Catullo 11 on the Posillipo hillside, in the Mergellina and Posillipo area of Naples, Campania, Italy. The setting is above the Bay of Naples, with views across the Gulf to Vesuvius, Capri and the city skyline. Mergellina harbour and its hydrofoil port, the Mergellina railway and metro station, and the Villa Comunale seafront gardens are reachable by road or taxi, and the Posillipo district is known for its villas, the Parco Virgiliano and its quiet residential character. The hotel belongs to the Best Western Signature Collection, which gives it a branded standard of service within a more local setting. Room types include double rooms with bay view, superior rooms and junior suites, with air conditioning and wifi. The rooftop restaurant, Paradisoblanco, and a bar are the main dining features, serving guests with panoramic views of the bay, particularly attractive at sunset and in the evening. The price range of roughly €100 to €220 per night is moderate for a four-star property with views, and the rating is about 4.4 out of 5. Because the hotel is on a hillside away from the Centro Storico, guests normally travel by taxi, bus or the Mergellina metro line to reach the main sights, and should allow extra time for the hillside roads. The service character is leisure and business oriented, with a quieter feel than the central districts. The hotel is a sound choice for travellers who prefer a calm base with a view over the busy centre, and who plan excursions to Pozzuoli, Capri, Ischia and the Phlegraean Fields. The brand website and a phone line are listed for reservations.
