Capri's first hotel, dating back to 1822, has undergone extensive renovation and now treats its guests to a classic dolce vita lifestyle, enveloped in the unique atmosphere of the jet-set glamour of decades past. Authentic Italian cuisine, a chic rooftop bar, an exclusive beach club on the typical pebble beach, and an idyllic spa are among the highlights. All 50 rooms and suites have private balconies or terraces for sunny hours, while boat tours, city tours, and other activities can be organized at any time through the dedicated concierge service.
Experience the essence of la dolce vita with a glamorous day at the trendy Da Gioia beach club. The dedicated staff, whose charming retro attire seems straight out of The Great Gatsby, will enthusiastically arrange tour guides, beach loungers, or boat trips for you—a visit to the legendary Blue Grotto is a must. Soothing relaxation awaits you at La Palma Spa in the form of luxurious treatments with Tata Harper products, a wet area with a salt room, sauna, Turkish baths, and sensory showers.
The 50 rooms and suites offer an elegant blend of neoclassical and Art Deco styles. Elegant white-on-white furnishings with mint green accents are reminiscent of the gentle beach glamour of the 1920s, complemented by dove-white balconies or terraces, marble and brass elements, and luxurious toiletries from the medieval Florentine pharmacy Santa Maria Novella. The luxurious La Palma Suite delights with a personal service team and a wraparound terrace overlooking the sparkling sea and blooming bougainvillea along the path – the perfect Capri chic.
Under the direction of acclaimed chef Gennaro Esposito, Gennaro's restaurant invites you on a journey to the timeless Capri of the 1950s, where you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in a lively and modern setting overlooking the bustling streets. On the rooftop terrace of Bianca, you can dine casually outdoors while enjoying breathtaking views of Capri Town and the sea. A light lunch on the pebble beach of the Da Gioia beach club is highly recommended, as are drinks and snacks on the newly built pool deck after a well-deserved dip.
Since its original opening as the first hotel on Capri—then under the name Locanda Pagano—the Hotel La Palma has become one of the most chic and sought-after addresses on Italy's glamorous island. Upon entering the hotel, magnificent contemporary ceiling frescoes by Roberto Ruspoli evoke Italy's classical past. The hotel was designed by the famous Maltese interior designer and visionary Francis Sultana; the unique symphony of Art Deco and Neoclassicism creates a timeless, elegant atmosphere. The 50 rooms and suites are decorated in soft shades of white and green, private balconies and terraces overlook the hustle and bustle of the streets and the sparkling sea, and the marble and bronze-clad bathrooms exude seductive sophistication.
