Palazzo Turchini, a shining symbol of Neapolitan piety and the vibrant musical life of 17th- and 18th-century Naples, stands in the heart of the viceregal city, just steps from Rua Catalana, where skilled craftsmen have worked iron and copper for centuries.
The building was part of the Royal Conservatory of Santa Maria della Pietà dei Turchini, to which Salvatore Di Giacomo dedicated one of his most beautiful works. In the 17th century, in tune with the more socially inclusive times and the new genre of opera, the Conservatory—a place of refuge for abandoned boys—focused its studies on music, becoming a veritable forge where musicians and singers were forged who have made Naples an extraordinary center of culture.
The palace, which has undergone several renovations over the centuries, has changed its purpose after recent restorations, without sacrificing its original sense of hospitality. The elegance and sobriety of the rooms are now harmonized with cutting-edge technology, Calacatta gold marble combines with fine woods and refined furnishings, making the living room more harmonious.
Furthermore, a few metres from the hotel is the Municipio metro stop which connects all of Naples with the central station, the port and from next year also the airport.

Palazzo Turchini represents the center of the city’s intricate fabric.
The gaze quickly sweeps from the gardens of the Royal Palace to the Fountain of Neptune and the Church of the Incoronata, slightly below street level after Alfonso I of Aragon had Castel Nuovo—better known as Maschio Angioino—surrounded by a moat. Its crenellated outline can be glimpsed, dominating the Town Hall Square and the Maritime Station.
Walking through streets and squares steeped in history, one quickly reaches the historic and artistic heart of Naples, where the Greek, Roman, medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque past of the city are interwoven. The adjacent Church of the Incoronatella, which was also annexed to the old Conservatory of the Turchini sons, is also one of the most significant monuments of Neapolitan art, spanning both Naturalism and Baroque.
