Grand Hotel Quisisana Capri 5 stars luxury

The Grand Hotel Quisisana was built in 1845 by the british physician George Clark and was originally used as a sanatorium. Now a sumptuous five star luxury hotel immersed in splendid gardens, the Grand Hotel Quisisana offers guests every modern comfort whilst conserving all the appeal of its classical architecture and decor. Over the years, taking inspiration from Mediterranean art and lifestyle, the Morgano family has established a highly acclaimed and quintessential Italian hotel.

The Quisisana has become a symbol of Capri, almost to the same extent as the legendary Blue Grotto. Royalty, novelists, film stars ''and components of the international Jet Set are all regular guests. Celebrity names to have stayed at the property include Sidney Sheldon, Claudette Colbert, Tom Cruise, John Belushi, Duran Duran, various members of the Agnelli dynasty, George Ford, Giancarlo Menotti, Ernest Hemingway, Jean Paul Sartre, and the Savoy Family - the list of famous names is so long that it is simply impossible to cite all those worthy of mention.

The hotel has 150 rooms, Junior Suites, Suites and Penthouse Suites and is able to accommodate almost 300 guests. Guests can savor exquisite and beautifully prepared dishes at the highly acclaimed Quisi Restaurant and the poolside Colombaia Grill.

Those wishing to maintain their fitness routines or simply indulge in a little pampering will find all they need at the hotel's "QuisiBeauty" a health and beauty facility equipped with gym, sauna, turkish and whirlpool baths which also offers an extensive range of massages. Other leisure facilities include a large open air swimming pool, small indoor pool and two tennis courts. In 1985 the Grand Hotel Quisisana became a member of "The Leading Hotels of the World".

"My principal objective is to have a hotel with an outstanding reputation, which offers consistently elevated standards of service this bearing in mind that it is difficult to rise, extremely hard to maintain a high position, yet easy to fall, and absolutely impossible to rise up again!" Mario Morgano.
