The Best Hotels in Naples, Florida

Naples hospitality turns on the contrast between the Gulf of Mexico coastline and the manicured, inland golf-focused preserves. While many Florida destinations lean into beach-adjacent sprawl, this city has a distinct divide between the dense, walkable retail corridors and the expansive, quiet grounds tucked away toward the Everglades. You choose your experience by deciding whether you prefer the sound of surf or the quiet of the fairway.

The Inn on Fifth and Club Level Suites sits at the center of the downtown district, placing guests within steps of the shops and restaurants lining Fifth Avenue South. For a more intimate, secluded feel, The Escalante sits a short distance away, offering a tropical garden environment that feels removed from the street activity. The Ritz-Carlton, Naples provides direct beach access, making it the primary choice for those prioritizing the waterfront, while The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón offers a retreat for those focused on the golf course.

Travelers gravitate toward the coastal resorts during the warm winter months, while the inland clubs see the most activity during the spring golfing season. Late summer brings a quieter pace to the streets as the seasonal humidity rises and the crowds thin. We categorize these properties based on their proximity to the water and their connection to the urban core to help you find the right fit for your trip.
