Some souvenirs gather dust. This one gets worn. For summer 2026, Hotel La Palma, Oetker Hotels’ first hotel in Italy, has joined forces with Borsalino, Italy’s most storied hatmaker, to create an exclusive design available only at the hotel itself, and it may just be the chicest thing to come off the island since the Capri pant.
Few accessories capture Italian elegance quite like a Borsalino. Since 1857, the maison has crowned Hollywood legends and Dolce Vita icons alike with its impeccable craftsmanship. Now, the iconic silhouette receives a bespoke hatband in the signature Mediterranean hues of Hotel La Palma, transforming a classic into a wearable memory of Capri and an instant collector’s piece.
The pairing feels destined. Opened in 1822 and reimagined in 2023 by star designer Francis Sultana, Hotel La Palma is one of the island’s most desirable addresses: just 50 rooms and suites, steps from the Piazzetta, with interiors that channel Capri’s glamorous jet set era through a thoroughly modern lens.
More than a product collaboration, the partnership celebrates what makes Capri eternal: artisanal savoir faire, timeless style and that inimitable island spirit where fashion has always been part of the holiday itself. With curated collaborations like this one, Hotel La Palma continues to position itself as the creative meeting point of the island, where design, fashion and hospitality merge into a modern interpretation of la Dolce Vita.
My advice? Pack light and leave room in your Rimowa. This hat is worth the trip.
LoL, Sandra
