Not that we necessarily need to lure you to Naples (Naples, Italy, that is; not Florida) — since you already know that the baked goods are the bomb and you can buy many, many kiddie tricycles if you want 'em — a brand new 85-room hotel has just opened up its doors to bring some boutique flavor to the Naples hotel scene.

The Romeo Hotel is the first step a development that is aiming to turn the area between the Piazza Municipio and the cruise ship terminals into an "elegant promenade," and claims to be the first design hotel to hit Naples.

The location makes for excellent views of both Mt. Vesuvius and the island of Capri, and the floor to ceiling windows in the rooms will, at the very least, let you watch the cruise ships come and go — both from guestrooms and from the fitness center that looks out onto the Bay of Naples (there's also a 7,500 sq ft spa and a terrace-top outdoor pool).

Also: you can take in a little bit of culture without ever leaving the hotel's four walls! Check this out:

At the heart of the project is the hotel’s rare art collection. Inspired by a mandate to showcase Naples, contemporary artists such as: Francesco Clementa, Segio Fermiello, and Lello Esposito created pieces in a variety of mediums, while top Neapolitan photographers such as: Monica Biancardi, Antonio Biasiucci and Mimmo Jodice produced series of images for a permanent exhibition housed within the hotel, all meant to immerse guests in the city’s vibrant culture in a fresh and thought-provoking way.

That is, of course, something you can enjoy after you've gone shopping for tricycles.

Rates start at EU 330 — about $425 USD.
