"This was Capri’s first-ever hotel, opened for the first time just over 200 years ago in 1822. Now, the all-white building on the most-famous Italian island has been taken over by the Oetker Collection (Le Bristol in Paris, Eden Rock in St Barths, Jumby Bay in the Caribbean) and the Reuben Brothers (the shiny new Mondrian Shoreditch, The Palazzo Experimental in Venice). Careful renovations have reduced the number of rooms from 80 to 50 to create more space–a major selling point on this always-thrumming isle–and all come with a balcony. Capri’s infamous Piazzetta is just around the corner, while those who take on the short distance to the coast can bag a day bed at La Palma Beach Club, the hotel’s chilled-out hangout."
