Punta Tragara Hotel

Perched atop the famed Faraglioni rock formations that line the Italian coast, the peach-hued Punta Tragara blooms like a rare flower, crowning its cliffside sanctuary. Built as a private residence in 1920 by pioneering architect Le Corbusier, the four-story modernist retreat was unlike anything else in Capri, offering awe-inspiring views to match its pedigree. A century and several renovations later, the resort still oozes Italian opulence like few others can.

A 2022 refresh by architect Giorgia Dennerlein kept the luxury hotel’s bones intact, instead, Dennerlein chose to update furnishings with pieces from both Italian and international designers that emanate 1930s glamour with a modern sensibility. Contemporary fixtures are scattered throughout in a thoughtful way that doesn’t impose on the authenticity of the antique paintings and original tapestries that adorn the hall. The result is a unique seasonal resort in a one-of-a-kind destination — it’s a celebration of Capri itself.
