The top choice in Marina Grande and one of the best hotels in Capri, this 130-year-old classic has benefited from regular upgrades. Acres of gleaming ceramic reflect the turquoise, blue and yellow of the world outside and are complemented by stylish modern furniture. The best rooms have balconies and sea views. Breakfast is served on a lovely flower-filled 4th-floor terrace.
