Grand Hotel La Favorita is worth booking if you want a top-rated 5-star base in central Sorrento and the price is not your main concern. Budget-minded travellers should look at our other two picks, which cost a fraction of the rate.

Grand Hotel La Favorita is our Luxury pick for Sorrento. It holds 5 official stars, and the property lists a restaurant, a fitness center, a pool, a garden, a terrace, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.
It suits couples, special occasions and anyone who wants to walk everywhere in Sorrento while staying somewhere quiet. Guests describe the spot as central yet calm, close to the port, the train station and shops.
Skip it if value for money is your first test. Guests call the rates and upgrades expensive, even if some feel the quality justifies the cost.
Location and getting around
The address is Via Tasso 61, in Sorrento's city centre. The location score is 9.9 out of 10, close to the maximum.
Sorrento Cathedral is about 0.2 km away, roughly 3 minutes on foot. Museum Correale is about 0.3 km, around 4 minutes. Piazza Tasso is about 0.4 km, roughly 5 minutes.
Guests add that the port and the train station are within walking distance. Walking times are straight-line estimates, so allow a little extra on real streets. You should not need a car for the town itself.
What guests say
Guests rate it 9.6 out of 10 from 805 reviews. That placed it joint 2nd of 11 eligible properties in our sample, an excellent score over a large number of reviews.
Location leads the praise: central, quiet and walkable to the port, train station and shops. Staff are described as friendly, professional, helpful and attentive.
The main criticism is price. Guests mention high rates and expensive upgrades, though some say the quality is worth it.
Price and how it compares with our other Sorrento picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults came to about €339 a night. The sample median was €189, so La Favorita sat well above it. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Hotel Spicy, our 3-star Budget pick, scored 8.4 at about €68 a night. Hotel Nice, our 3-star Best Value pick, scored 8.8 at about €75.
The gap is large: La Favorita cost about €264 more per night than Hotel Nice. What the extra buys is a fifth star, a 9.6 score, a central yet quiet setting and a full set of hotel facilities. If you mainly need a clean bed near the centre, the 3-star picks do that for much less.
Breakfast is not confirmed in our data. Ask whether it is included in your rate.

Compare room categories carefully before booking, since guests say upgrades are expensive. Confirm breakfast and the cancellation rules, and check today's price, as the November 2026 figure is only a reference.
