Jumeirah Capri Palace
History & Story
To check-in at the Jumeirah Capri Palace means to find yourself in a dimension where the concepts of art and hospitality converge effortlessly.
The first welcome is indeed given by the monumental sculpture-installation by Arnaldo Pomodoro, which recalls the atmosphere of the seabed with a colossal cuttlefish bone that runs along the entire entrance wall, interrupted by a few openings that allow to glimpse at the mosaic by Velasco Vitali inside the pool. At the actual entrance, the stoic and mysterious helmet by Mimmo Paladino officially marks the passage into the fascinating universe of the Jumeirah Capri Palace. A grille from a 17th century cloistered monastery enriches the Front Desk, next to which you can find a painting by Giorgio De Chirico, entitled Hector and Andromache. This true masterpiece represents another strong point of the Jumeirah Capri Palace’s rich artistic collection, exemplified in The White Museum, a true widespread museum that winds along all our common areas, internal and external.
The rooms are 67, and they are mostly different from one another thanks to various artistic and cinematographic inspirations that enrich them and give them a distinct personality. For example, we take particular pride in the Capritouch suites and executive suites, where you can breathe the air of the Mediterranean, or in the presidential suite dedicated to Gwyneth Paltrow, or yet again in the cozy rooms inspired by the style of great divas like Maria Callas, Audrey Hepburn, Isabelle Adjani and Marylin Monroe. The “artistic” rooms are then adorned with mosaics and furnishings that reflect the work of legendary artists, such as Andy Warhol, René Magritte and Joan Miró.
At the Jumeirah Capri Palace, the concept of art also recurs in our cuisine, which promises an exclusive gastronomic experience, finding its apex in L’Olivo, the two-starred Michelin restaurant led by our Executive Chef Andrea Migliaccio. To enjoy more smart casual moments, though not less sublime, guests can instead opt for a day at Il Riccio, our Beach Club & Restaurant nestled in the rock, just a few “strokes” away from the Blue Grotto, the famous aquatic nymphaeum of Emperor Tiberius.
In 2023, Jumeirah Capri Palace is set to welcome guests to an exceptional new restaurant: Zuma Capri, the perfect place to experience modern izakaya menu and cocktails to the soundtrack of chilled house beats and unparalleled vistas of the Sorrentine Peninsula and Tyrrhenian Sea.
Furthermore, in order to taste the dishes of the Caprese and Neapolitan tradition, perhaps accompanied by a drink from our Bar degli Artisti, the best solution is definitely the Bistrot Ragù, for a more typical and casual lunch.
The menu recommended by the Capri Medical Spa is also delicious, and it allows you to rationally and sensibly lose weight. In our Spa it is also possible to reserve a unique treatment, the famous Leg School®, patented by Prof. Francesco Canonaco and specifically designated for the leg care.
Courtesy, warmth, elegance, and professionalism: for more than half a century, these have been the key ingredients of our hotel. They are part of a single approach, handed down from father to son, to the art of hospitality – an authentic art, created by people, emotions and deeply held values.
