The Royal Continental, the conference hotel and the meeting venue for all FICPI’s World Congress Working Sessions, is a landmark 4-star hotel with a privileged position on Naples’ seafront, right in front of one of the symbols of the city and its most ancient castle: the iconic and legendary Castel dell’Ovo.
The 19th-century building of the former, historic Grand Hotel Royal des Etrangers, that hosted illustrious personalities such as Oscar Wilde, was burnt down at the end of World War II; it was then re-built and in 1955 the Hotel Royal was inaugurated.
The task of designing and furnishing the hotel’s interiors was entrusted to Gio Ponti, one of the greatest Italian architects of the 20th century and the interior designer par excellence, the creator of a new design language inspired by the idea of functional living.
Gio Ponti participated in the project by designing not only the furniture - paying close attention to the different types of wood to be used – but also the rooftop swimming pool, still existing, and by creating the logo.
In recent years the hotel, which in the meantime has become the Royal Continental, has undergone a thorough renovation, but still preserving Arch. Ponti's inimitable mark and therefore giving the place a true vintage charm.
The designer’s heritage has been maintained also through the idea of the “Gio Ponti floor”, in which the original furnishings designed by him have been collected in 24 “museum” rooms.

The FICPI Executive Committee Meeting Working Sessions, scheduled on Monday 13 October (full day) and on Thursday 16 October (afternoon only), will take place at the EUROSTARS EXCELSIOR HOTEL, Via Partenope, 48, 80121 Naples.
