History
Hotel La Palma is Oetker Collection’s first hotel in Italy and was reimagined as a 5-star Mediterranean retreat for the modern traveler. The official property page identifies the design refresh with interior designer Francis Sultana and describes the hotel as moments from Capri’s Piazzetta. The property’s current identity is centered on a contemporary revival of a classic Capri address rather than a heavily documented historic reopening on the official pages reviewed ([Oetker Collection](https://www.oetkercollection.com/hotels/hotel-la-palma/)).

The setting
On Via Vittorio Emanuele steps from the Piazzetta — Capri's legendary social salon where postwar film stars and royalty congregated — Hotel La Palma is Capri's oldest hotel, originally opened in 1822 as Locanda Pagano when only Grand Tour travellers reached the island. The Gardens of Augustus, the terraced clifftop park with views toward the Faraglioni rock stacks, is seven minutes on foot; Marina Piccola beach is twenty minutes' walk; the Faraglioni themselves are twenty-one minutes away. Reimagined by Oetker Hotels with interiors evoking the jet-set glamour of the 1950s, the address between the Piazzetta and Via Camerelle's luxury boutiques makes Hotel La Palma the natural anchor of Capri's most iconic quarter. 5-minute walk to medieval Charterhouse of St. 8 km from Blue Grotto sea cave.
