"13th-century Capuchin monastery, cloister breakfast, sea-view chapel."
Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel occupies a restored 13th-century Capuchin monastery on the cliff above Amalfi town; Anantara took it over in 2022, when it was the NH Collection Convento, and re-positioned it as the brand's first Italian Grand Hotel. There are 52 rooms and suites, many in former monks' quarters with original tiles and vaulted ceilings, and the cliff-edge junior suites and the multi-bedroom Convento Suite are the anniversary flagships. The heritage is the draw: the original cloister, with frescoes dating to 1223, serves as the breakfast setting, the in-house chapel can be booked for vow-renewal ceremonies, and the cliff position gives a direct line to the Amalfi Cathedral and the harbour. Dining is at the Dei Cappuccini restaurant, dinner only, under chef Claudio Lanuto, with the Dei Cappuccini Bar for drinks. The honest caveat: the monastery sits high above the town, reached by a lift up the cliff, and Amalfi in high season is crowded, so the seclusion is relative. Best for a milestone-anniversary couple who want the architectural heritage and the chapel option, at a more accessible rate than the Belmond-tier names.
The Convento Suite, the multi-bedroom flagship, or a cliff-edge junior suite with a private terrace for a smaller party.
Book the in-house chapel for a vow-renewal ceremony on a milestone anniversary (the 25th or 50th); the Anantara concierge handles the arrangements. Breakfast in the 13th-century cloister at 9am is the ritual worth setting an alarm for.
Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels on the Amalfi Coast for an Anniversary list. It scored an aggregate 9.7/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field but, on an anniversary-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Amalfi Coast neighbourhood, see Amalfi town and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
Have firm dates? Our editor's advice is to book roughly twelve weeks in advance. Expect the best-positioned suites to go early; in the busy season the lead time is months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces, the ones that earn this rank, are typically the first to sell out.
