The Hotel La Palma, the oldest hotel on Capri, is set to reopen in April next year as part of Oetker Collection's Masterpiece Hotels portfolio. The 50-room hotel, which includes 18 suites with private balconies or terraces, will be a unique, elegant Mediterranean retreat for modern travelers. Capri, an island in Italy's Bay of Naples, is known for its rugged landscape, iconic restaurants, excellent shopping, and glamorous visitors from the literati, dignitaries, royalty, and A-list celebrities.

The hotel's original owner, notary Giuseppe Pagano, hosted travelers in his villa in what was dubbed the 'Artists' Hotel.' A collective of creatives began to gather from all over the world who were charmed by the smooth, familiar atmosphere of this eccentric hotel. Timo Gruenert, CEO of Oetker Collection, expressed excitement about opening a true masterpiece hotel in one of the most beautiful and glamorous destinations in the world, the island of Capri.

The gastro highlight of the hotel will be Chef Gennaro Esposito's restaurant, bar, and terrace, under Chef Gennaro Esposito's culinary direction. Esposito has run his own two-Michelin Star restaurant, Torre del Saracino, for the last 23 years. Another gastro highlight of the hotel will be Bianca, a glamorous rooftop restaurant and bar with spectacular views over the sea and Capri Village. Additionally, Hotel La Palma will offer a brand-new pool deck with an elegant pool bar that pays homage to the 'classic Capri' of the golden age.

Hotel La Palma is located near Piazza Umberto I and the La Palma Beach Club in Marina Piccola, home to the island's famous beaches and restaurants. This beach club will become the meeting place of choice for non-hotel guests, offering long lunches created by Gennaro Esposito and sunset cocktails.

Some of the most notable sites of Capri include I Giardini di Augusto, Via Krupp, La Certosa, and the iconic Faraglioni. The island can be accessed by air or by sea, with Naples International Airport being the closest airport. The island can also be reached by ferry or hydrofoil in 25 minutes from Sorrento or Positano, 50 minutes from Naples, and one hour from Amalfi.
