The Caruso Suite

The large veranda overlooking the Gulf of Sorrento and the mementos it contains make the suite both splendid and magical. It is dedicated to the famous tenor, who often enjoyed booking into the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, and he chose to do so again in 1921 just a few days before he died. Still today it contains his original piano and objects that belonged to him, including his writing desk and some of his photos and letters.
This is the most outstanding of the 12 suites in the hotel: in the Louis XVI style, it has a brass bed dating from the nineteenth century.
The atmosphere of the suite inspired the song Caruso, which Lucio Dalla composed quite recently while staying here. This suite has always been the most sought-after by newly wed couples.
