Hotel La Palma

Capri, Italy

Overview

The Hotel

Founded in 1822 as Capri's first hotel and transformed by designer Francis Sultana into one of the island's most compelling contemporary addresses, Hotel La Palma sits steps from the Piazzetta in the very center of Capri town, making it the most convenient base from which to experience the island at its fullest. The 50 rooms and 18 suites — many with private balconies or terraces overlooking Via Vittorio Emanuele — open onto a pool deck and beach club that have become the social center of Capri's summer season, while the restaurants under Michelin-starred Chef Gennaro Esposito have added serious culinary ambition to a property already rich in heritage. The Bianca Rooftop Carne & Crudo is one of the summer's most sought-after tables, combining a contemporary steakhouse sensibility with the extraordinary produce of the Campanian coast.

Dining & Amenities at Hotel La Palma

Michelin-Starred Italian / Campanian

Gennaro's

Michelin-starred Chef Gennaro Esposito's flagship restaurant at Hotel La Palma, serving a contemporary interpretation of Campanian and southern Italian cuisine with the extraordinary seafood, tomatoes, and citrus fruits of the Bay of Naples as its foundation. One of the most serious kitchens on the island.

Italian Steakhouse / Raw Bar

Bianca Rooftop Carne & Crudo

A summer-season phenomenon on Capri's rooftop dining scene, Bianca offers a contemporary twist on the steakhouse — exceptional aged meats alongside a crudo bar of impeccably sourced fish and shellfish — with views over the island's rooftops to the sea. Among the hardest reservations to secure on the island.

Cocktails / Aperitivo

La Palma Bar & Terrace

The hotel's ground-floor social hub, drawing Capri's international summer community for Aperol Spritzes, limoncello cocktails, and light Campanian snacks in the shadow of Via Vittorio Emanuele's historic architecture.
