Meet a Capri Legend

Few destinations capture the romance of Capri quite like Hotel La Palma Capri, the historic luxury hotel located just steps from the famous Piazzetta. Built in 1822 and long considered one of the island’s most elegant addresses, the property has welcomed generations of artists, writers, aristocrats, and international travelers drawn to the timeless allure of the Mediterranean.

For travelers seeking a luxury hotel in Capri, Italy, La Palma stands apart. Today, the hotel enters a new era as the first Italian property in the prestigious Oetker Collection, reimagined by acclaimed interior designer Francis Sultana. The result is a refined five-star retreat where historic character meets contemporary Italian design.

Sultana’s vision captures Capri’s extraordinary light while subtly referencing the glamour of the 1950s, when film stars and European aristocracy made the island their playground. The hotel now offers an intimate Mediterranean escape with just 50 rooms and suites, complemented by a rooftop restaurant, private beach club, elegant bars, and a signature spa—all within walking distance of Capri’s most iconic streets.
