Rocco Forte Hotels heading to Naples
Rocco Forte Hotels is set to launch its first hotel in Naples, after signing a management agreement with fashion company Capri Group.
Slated to open in 2027, the hotel will be located in Palazzo Caravita di Sirignano, adjacent to the Villa Pignatelli museum.
Built in 1535 and previously a noble residence, the building has a long and culturally significant history, with restoration in the hands of architect Michele Bönan. The Colella family, owners of fashion brands Gutteridge and Alcott, acquired the property in 2018, with CEO Nunzio Colella stating his ambition to provide Naples with a new kind of hotel experience.
Upon its transformation into a hotel, the new Rocco Forte property will comprise 46 suites, a rooftop with a panoramic pool, a spa, two restaurants and a bar.
“I am honoured to be opening a Rocco Forte hotel in such a fascinating building in Naples,” says Sir Rocco Forte. “We bring the experience of three generations of hospitality and the impeccable service for which Rocco Forte Hotels is known worldwide. I thank Nunzio Colella for his trust and am excited to embark on this new adventure together.”
Colella adds: “I am proud to offer my city a luxury destination under the Rocco Forte Hotels brand and designed by the architectural star Michele Bönan. It will be a top-notch experience that will elevate Neapolitan hospitality to the level of major international cities. I thank Sir Rocco Forte, the Superintendency, the Municipality of Naples and all our partners who will make this dream come true.”
