About de Bonart Naples
- de Bonart Naples occupies a building constructed in 1870, located in Naples, Italy, according to the property's listed founding data.
History
The de Bonart Naples occupies an elegant building on Corso Vittorio Emanuele in Naples, originally built in 1870 and blessed with sweeping views over the Bay of Naples. That same year it first opened as Pension Britannique (Macpherson's Pension Britannique), named for its spirited Scottish proprietress Emilia Macpherson, and quickly became a haven for royalty, politicians and artists - among them Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Virginia Woolf and George Bernard Shaw.
After a comprehensive €25m restoration led by Studio Gnosis, the historic property reopened in 2020 as The Britannique Naples, Curio Collection by Hilton — the first Curio Collection hotel in Naples. The renovation preserved the original 19th-century facade while introducing contemporary interiors inspired by Neapolitan classical courtyards and the city's stratified colors, along with a restored garden and artisan works celebrating Parthenopean myths. The property left the Curio Collection in 2025 and was renamed de Bonart Naples, returning to independent operation.
