- The hotel sector has seen growth with the recent openings of several hotels in Naples including the Smart Hotel Napoli, Hotel Matilde - Lifestyle Hotel, and Villa Elisio Hotel & Spa, as well as the Capri Palace Jumeirah, a luxury hotel on the posh island of Capri with two Michelin-starred restaurants, a spa, and a beach club.
