Experiencing Classic Elegance at Hotel La Palma, Capri's Newly Reopened Gem
Nestled in the heart of Capri, Italy, Hotel La Palma has reopened its doors, welcoming guests to revel in a renewed season of luxury and charm. This historic hotel, which dates back to 1822, proudly stands as the first Oetker Collection Masterpiece Hotel in Italy, combining ancient glamour with contemporary opulence.
At the core of Hotel La Palma’s allure is its culinary offerings, led by Chef Gennaro Esposito of the two-Michelin Star restaurant, Torre del Saracino. The hotel's restaurant, Gennaro’s, recreates the Capri of the 1950s, allowing guests to indulge in dishes that showcase the finest local ingredients, presented and finalized at their tables to enhance the dining spectacle.
Adjacent to the gourmet dining experience is the La Palma Bar & Terrace, the perfect setting for observing the vibrant life of Capri’s streets. Here, guests can enjoy a variety of treats from aromatic coffees and fresh juices to house-made gelato, paired with a meticulously selected assortment of Rosé wines. As evening approaches, the bar transforms into the prime locale for an aperitivo, offering a scenic view of Via Vittorio Emanuele, Capri’s premier fashion thoroughfare.
Elevating the luxury experience, Hotel La Palma’s rooftop houses the tranquil Aqua Bar beside a stunning pool, where guests can unwind with innovative cocktails and healthful dishes from Chef Esposito. The rooftop also features the Bianca garden and lounge bar, which provides a breathtaking view over Capri Village and the sea, and hosts the famous Josper Charcoal Oven, renowned for enhancing the flavors in its culinary creations. The ambiance here transitions into a vibrant nightlife scene, complete with vintage champagne, playful cocktails, and live music.
For those preferring a serene beach setting, the Gioia by La Palma beach club on the island’s southern coast offers a private retreat with sun-kissed tranquility and luxurious service, where guests can relish long lunches prepared by Chef Pasquale Cuomo.
With its unique blend of historical elegance, modern luxury, and exclusive culinary and social experiences, Hotel La Palma not only represents Oetker Collection's debut in Italy but also epitomizes the pinnacle of Italian haute living.
