In the historic centre of Capri, along the streets lined with boutiques and luxury shops, stands Hotel Gatto Bianco & Spa, its architecture echoing the island's historic homes.
The History of the Gatto Bianco
The Gatto Bianco's long hospitality tradition began in the nineteenth century, when Carmela Esposito welcomed travellers from all over the world to her inn. Over the years, the hotel has hosted illustrious guests such as Edward VIII of England, Jack Lemmon, King Farouk, Jacqueline Kennedy, Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Clark Gable and Aristotle Onassis.
In 1952, brothers Giuseppe, Giovanni and Tonino Esposito gave the property new life, on land once home to an orchard. Today it is run by the Esposito family, with Antonio and Mariella joined by their children Andrea and Lisa.
A family-run welcome that has lasted more than seventy years, passed down from generation to generation.
A Timeless Elegance
Bright, spacious surroundings, felt from the moment you step into the hall, set the tone for the style of the rooms at Hotel Gatto Bianco. Vaulted ceilings and majolica floors create a fresh, light-filled Mediterranean atmosphere in every room.
Rooms are divided into six categories: Standard, Comfort, Superior, Deluxe, Junior Suite and Senior Suite. Comfort, Superior, Deluxe and Junior Suite rooms all come with a private terrace; the Senior Suite offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living room, for up to four guests.
Gatto Bianco Spa & Wellness is a benchmark for wellness-loving guests, with a sauna, a steam bath with chromotherapy and an emotional shower in a space that can be booked for exclusive use.
The "Dolce Vita" in Capri
Outside, the terraces with flowering pergolas become places to spend pleasant hours in quiet and calm, or simply to enjoy a drink. You are just steps from the centre of Capri, its bars and its most exclusive spots, yet all around you is peace: this is the perfect holiday!
Guests are also welcomed by Mirò, the hotel's resident white Persian cat, who carries on a family tradition.
