From your poolside chaise lounge at Grand Hotel Quisisana, you can see the twin Faraglioni rocks jutting out to the sun-splashed Mediterranean. With its flag-draped neoclassical façade, this elegant property is just as emblematic of Capri. Over the years, it's played host to celebrities from Tom Cruise to Ernest Hemingway - and yacht-loads of European aristocrats.
Once a sanatorium, Grand Hotel Quisisana first opened its doors in 1845. The 150 rooms and suites are decorated in opulent traditional style - you'll marvel at the exquisitely painted tile floors. Terraces overlook those famous rocks and the Certosa di san Giacomo, a 14th-century monastery below the town of Capri.
Restore body and soul in a hammam or Turkish bath at QvisiBeauty spa, which also offers Carita treatments by Shiseido. You'll emerge looking and feeling your best for classic Italian dishes at Rendez-Vous, a refined dining spot facing the iconic Via Camerelle. Another must: the Champagne-happy Krug Room.
