At a glance: A collaboration between the Oetker Collection and developers the Reuben Brothers, the 50-room La Palma takes over Locanda Pagano, Capri’s oldest hotel. The 1822-built structure will now be swathed in Mediterranean tones of blue, green, and turquoise, a soothing backdrop to the scalloped edges glimpsed on the reception and concierge desks. There are also plenty of bygone Capri touches, especially in the rooftop restaurant overseen by legendary local chef Gennaro Esposito.
