Guest Relation Manager- Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel

A luxury hospitality brand for modern travellers, Anantara connects guests to genuine places, people and stories through personal experiences and providing heartfelt hospitality in the world's most exciting destinations.

Originally a 13th-century monastery, with architectural elements still visible today, the five-star luxury rated Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel is a fine example of a sympathetically refurbished monument. It scores just as highly when it comes to location. It's perched on top of an 80-meter cliff, with spectacular views of the Amalfi coast. But it's also only 5 minutes' walk from Amalfi's harbor and town center.

Completely renovated in 2023, almost all of our 52 rooms look directly out to sea. The hotel has 2 first-class restaurants: the main restaurant, Dei Cappuccini, serves an Italian and Mediterranean inspired menu made up of gourmet dishes and The La Locanda della Canonica – Pizzeria by Gino the perfect choice for an informal lunch in a suggestive setting, enjoying tasting pizzas created by the famous, Neapolitan, pizza-master Gino Sorbillo. There is also an infinity outdoor pool, a free panoramic gym and a SPA.

Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel is the perfect wedding location with unique spaces such as the cloister, the private church and the panoramic terraces.
