Grand Hotel Quisisana Capri

With an unbeatable location, right in the heart of the island's exclusive designer shopping district and just a few steps away from Capri's legendary Piazzetta, the Grand Hotel Quisisana has, for decades, represented the epitome of Italian lifestyle and hospitality.

And yet it was not an Italian but rather a Scot, the physician George Sidney Clark, the man responsible for the creation of the Quisisana. Back in the mid 19th century, Clark chose to build a sanatorium on one of the most sheltered and sunny sites on the island of Capri and gave it the name of Quisisana ("here one heals"). As international tourism increased and Capri became an ever more popular holiday destination, from clinic the Quisisana was gradually transformed in hotel definitely losing its status as sanatorium in 1868. Over the years ownership of the establishment changed hands on numerous occasions until 1981 when it was purchased by the present proprietors, the Morgano family.

Constantly upgraded over the years, today's 5 star luxury hotel offers guest elegant accommodation in some 150 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, almost all of which look out on to the Grand Hotel Quisisana's meticulously kept gardens and attractive swimming pool. From the gardens and the sunny terraces, enchanting views of the sea, the Faraglioni rocks, and the Charterhouse of St Giacomo can be admired.

Excellent Mediterranean cuisine and a faultless selection of wines are served to guests dining in the hotel's "Quisi" restaurant which, with its graceful arches, exquisite crystal chandeliers, and fabulous colonnaded terrace, provides an idyllic venue for a romantic evening meal or important family celebrations. In the Grand Hotel Quisisana's "Colombaia" restaurant, located by the pool, traditional Neapolitan pizza and all the best loved regional specialities are served in a pleasantly informal environment. Beautifully presented Japanese food can be savoured at the hotel's "Quisi&Sushi" bar.

At the QuisiBeauty, guests have the opportunity to experience any of a series of rejuvenating face and body treatments designed to restore elasticity, tone and natural balance. The wellness center is equipped with saltwater hydromassage pool, indoor swimming pool, sauna, Hammam, steam bath, and fitness room. Tennis courts and a large outdoor swimming pool are located in the grounds of the hotel.

With its ten, state-of-the-art meeting rooms, and highly experienced team of events organizers and support staff, the Grand Hotel Quisisana is the chosen venue on the island of Capri for a great number of prestigious events, including high-profile international conferences, important business meetings, seminars, and corporate conventions.
