In 1949, engineer Roberto Fernandes bought the Grand Hotel Royal des Etrangers.
The nineteenth-century building was considered to be one of the symbols of Naples’ waterfront and hosted celebrities such as Oscar Wilde up until the end of World War II when German troops set fire to the building.
In 1955, where the historic hotel once stood, the Hotel Royal designed by Ferdinand Chiaromonte and the same engineer Fernandes was inaugurated. Gio Ponti later participated in the project by designing the furniture, the swimming pool and creating the logo. (From the Royal Continental Hotel Website)Collection
