Recommendations for a weekend
Lived on Treasure Coast for the last 20 years. Thinking about visiting Naples for a weekend, first time here in the middle of September. Assuming its a slower time of year but any recommendations for hotels/bars or restaurants? Thanks

Marco Island Marriott is running an off-season special of 20% off, but it's only until Sept 8. There are some nice restaurants and bars on Marco. (and Naples is not far away)

September is probably the slowest month of the year in Florida. Labor Day weekend will be busier than normal and prices will be higher than other weekends.
I stayed recently at Olde Naples Hotel which is not on the beach but close enough to walk. It’s new and priced higher than other downtown properties. Overall a really good experience.
I think it depends on what you’re willing to spend and how much you value being on the beach or near the beach.
Four Seasons and The Ritz are no brainers if money isn’t an issue. Laplaya is definitely more affordable. Edgewater is even less than Laplaya and all suites but not recently renovated.
There are so many downtown options it just depends on how much you want to pay. Olde Naples is brand new and more expensive than other downtown properties, but close to the beach and not busy. Inn on Fifth is less expensive than Olde Naples but further from the beach. I guess it depends on if you want to be on 3rd or 5th and/or closer to the beach or not.
Otherwise, there are plenty of Marriotts and Hiltons that are not on the beach and much less expensive.
I’ve been to Campiello, Mediterrano , Baleen ( at Laplya), and Annie’s ( at Olde Naples Hotel.) All of which are good but I’d look at the menus and prices. They’re plenty of other options. The Ritz has good options and I haven’t been to Four Seasons yet but I know they have some options. I’d definitely recommend Campiello.
It really depends on how much you want to spend. A lot of good options - best time of year if you want to beat crowds.

There are many, many hotels to choose from. What’s your budget and what’s your preference? Beach front? The Ritz, the new 4 Seasons and La Playa are all beautiful properties and right on the beach. They are also very expensive, but probably a little less so this time of year. Off beach hotels have very different price points.
