The large, impressive entrance hall welcomes the visitor into a warm, elegant atmosphere. The doors close and the noises of the city fade into the background. Crossing the threshold of the Hotel Excelsior is like a step back into the past and rich tradition; on the wall to the right is an original engraving from 1775 commissioned by Giovanni Carafa the Duke of Noja and completed for the King of the Two Sicilies, Ferdinando IV. It is a map showing a view of the city and the layout of the ancient sea-front. This is an elegant, refined space, with antique carpets gracing the floors and sparkling lampshades from Murano lighting the marble drawing-room. One inevitably reflects on the events of ninety years of this hotel's existence, the many people who have stayed here and their influence on history this century. The drawing-rooms have hosted parties and banquets for important guests: royal families, aristocrats, financiers, actors and actresses from the stage and screen, artists and scientists, none of whom would have missed a stay at the Hotel Excelsior. The furnishing of the Royal Suite has remained unchanged; only the bed-canopy has gone. The walls are covered with damask silk and adorned with valuable old prints, the fine Venetian wardrobe is hand-painted and edged with golden sequins. Over an antique console-table hangs a framed mirror embellished with ornaments and crowned by the royal symbol, an eagle. The rooms are atmospheric and exciting after closely following the affairs of great people during their daily lives, where the public mask was dropped. Every room in the hotel is different; furnished with antiques, creating a fin-de-siecle atmosphere, each one special and quite unique. "Inside the walls of this great house, the guests were like parts of a musical scale full of notes. On high, where the stairs seem to touch Olympus, there are many illustrious names". Prince Umberto of Savoy lived in Napoli with his family for some ten years. His home was the Hotel Excelsior and he was always surrounded by many guests, like Eduardo De Filippo who one evening recited one of his plays: "cravatte signori". Furnishings in Belle époque layout and style in a hotel created for the hospitality of artists and intellectuals looking for beautiful places in the Mediterranean.
