The Grand is situated at the west end of the Riviera di I hiaja, and is one of the newest of the Neapolitan hotels. It is a particularly well-appointed and well-managed establish- ment. Formerly the objection to this hotel was that, with the wind in a certain quarter, there were complaints that it was within reach—in an olfactory sense only—of one of the city sewer outfalls; but this defect has now been remedied. The drainage and sanitary arrangements of the hotel itself, how- ever, are, and always have been, beyond reproach. Acc. 142 ; B. I fr. 50 c. ; D. 6 fr. ; R. from 6 fr. ; P. from 12 fr. 50 c. ; Lift; E. L. ; C. In a more central position, near the Santa Lucia quarter-, are the old-established hotels Royal des Etrangers, Hassler, Vesuve, and the new Santa Lucia. These houses are of a somewhat similar class, and are rather expensive, but are not (with the exception of the Santa Lucia) perhaps so up-to-date in character as the Grand or Bertolini's Palace. The Royal Hotel has the reputation of being rather expensive. It is the favourite resort of rich bachelors, and is more cosmopolitan in character than the other three, which are more family hotels. Its cuisine and cellars have a high reputation. The H6tel Hassler is largely affected by Germans. The Hotel Santa Lucia is a new and well-equipped house, and has a telegraph and post office in the ])uilding. Acc. 100 ; B. I fr. 50 c. ; L. 4 fr. ; D. $ fr. 50 c. ; R. from 5 fr. ; Lift; E. L. Another comparatively new hotel in this neighbourhood is the Savoy. Then another new hotel, the Continental, on the Quai Parthenope (New Embankment), seems to have established itself firmly among the Neapolitan hotels. It is a well-conducted establishment, with moderate charges. On the Riviera di Chiaja is the old-established Grand Bretagne et d'Angleterre (Acc. 120 ; R. from 5 fr. ; B. i fr. 50 c. ; L. 3 fr. 50 c. ; D. 5 fr. ; P. 10 to 14 fr. ; Lift; E. L. ; C.). In the most crowded season, about Easter, pension terms are not, as a rule, accepted at the above hotels. On the other hand, the summer terms are about 10 per cent, lower than the winter terms quoted above.
