Nestled in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, just steps from Sorrento’s historic center and overlooking the Gulf of Naples, Ara Maris is more than a luxury hotel: it is a contemporary tribute to the beauty of the Mediterranean.
Born from the transformation of the iconic Hotel Carlton International, Ara Maris now sets a new standard for hospitality in Campania. This ambitious and visionary rebirth project brought new life to a historic building after years of closure, reinterpreting it through a modern and elegant lens
With 49 refined rooms, a contemporary spa, fully equipped gym, lush outdoor pool, and a rooftop sky lounge with sea views, Ara Maris is designed as an altar dedicated to the sea, where every architectural detail echoes the strength and beauty of the surrounding nature.
Aesthetic, innovation, and intelligent control
To deliver a seamless, personalized experience aligned with the hotel’s philosophy, Ara Maris selected VDA Telkonet’s Etheos system: a cloud-based software platform enabling intelligent, centralized management across the entire property.
Vitrum smart switches, installed in the guest rooms, common areas, and wellness spaces such as the spa and gym, ensure intuitive, discreet, and elegant interaction with hotel features: lighting, temperature, access control, and digital signage (DND and MUR).
The glass plates, perfectly integrated into the architectural concept, add a touch of brightness and design, fusing technology and interior decor into one sophisticated gesture.
Efficiency and comfort in every space
Thanks to the integration between the Etheos Guest Room Management System and Vitrum devices, the hotel team can monitor and optimize energy consumption while ensuring maximum guest comfort and a focus on sustainability
Automated control of lighting and climate, activated by presence sensors and managed centrally, allows each space to respond to real-time needs, reducing waste and improving operational efficiency
A vision of contemporary hospitality
The decision to partner with VDA Telkonet stems from a shared vision: delivering a guest experience that meets the highest international standards without compromising the authentic soul of the destination.
Ara Maris stands as a benchmark for those seeking sophisticated, innovative, and deeply Mediterranean hospitality.
With VDA Telkonet technology, comfort becomes invisible yet essential, making every stay an experience to remember.
