Il Capri Hotel
Pink Gothic palazzo
Pink Gothic palazzo
This pastel-pink palazzo brings playful glamour to the island, from its rooftop dipping pool down to the late-night basement club.
“Intimacy and elegance are the order of the day at Capri’s newest bolthole... stays faithful to the traditional codes of the property.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Pastel pink tones, sisal matting, and custom headboards echoing the facade's gothic arches.
Notable
A nineteenth-century Venetian Gothic villa operating as an island hotel since 1899.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
The more intimate Il Capri Hotel, opening in July, is a former neo-Gothic palazzo…with a lovely rooftop pool.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Piazzetta is a short walk up Via Roma for evening people-watching. Downhill, ferries dock at Marina Grande.
The rooms
Most rooms open onto balconies looking across the Gulf of Naples. Inside, spacious bathrooms are clad in putty-shaded tiles.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers under red scalloped parasols flank the rooftop basin, looking out over the Bay of Naples toward Mount Vesuvius.
The gym
Rowing machines and punching bags face arched glass doors, and trainers-in-residence run daily classes in boxing and Pilates.
The spa
The Hidden Spa uses Irene Forte skincare for massages and bodywork inside a grasscloth-lined treatment room.
Restaurant
Osteria delle Sirene
Gingham-covered tables sit under red parasols on the rooftop terrace. Dinner brings house-made pasta and views across the Gulf of Naples.
At the table
Rumore fills the basement with red neon and modular seating, pouring drinks under an illuminated grid ceiling.
How it began
This nineteenth-century Venetian villa has welcomed guests since 1899, and its basement was once home to Capri's very first nightclub.
