The building where the hotel is placed is a XVIII century's palace and used to be the residence of Cardinal Sisto Riario Sforza, the last Bishop of the Bourbon Kingdom of Naples who lived in that apartment for more than 30 years, from 1845 to 1877. Since he became Naples bishop, he was the the last bishop of the "Two Sicilies Kingdom" and the first one in Italian Kingdom.

Because of its historical relevance, the palace is under Neapolitan cultural assets administration.

From its glorious past, today the building still keeps intact some beautiful structural elements, such as the wood gate, large stairs, high ceilings with rafters or groin vaults and big wood windows.

In honour of this great personality we restaured his apartment, thinking about all the requirements of a charming and comfortable hotel.

The hall is suitable even for meetings and national or international cultural events.
