The Grand Hotel Quisisana is the largest hotel on the island of Capri.[1] It is located in the old town of Capri, opposite to the Hotel Residenza Capri and the Villa Sanfelice, to the south of the Piazza Umberto I.[2] It was founded as a sanatorium in 1845 by the British doctor George Sidney Clark, who turned it into the Grand Hotel Quisisana in 1861.[3] "Qui si sana" means "here one heals" in Italian.[3]

The hotel contains 148 rooms.[2] It has eight conference rooms, one of which can accommodate up to 500 people.[2] The hotel's indoor restaurant, Restaurant Quisi, serves Italian cuisine and has been cited as one of Italy's finest hotel restaurants.[2]

Notable guests of the hotel include Russian writer Maxim Gorky, Russian singer Feodor Chaliapin, Oscar Wilde (together with Lord Alfred Douglas) and Friedrich Alfred Krupp.[4][5] Other notable guests have been Tom Cruise, Sidney Sheldon, Gianni Agnelli, Claudette Colbert, Jean-Paul Sartre, Gerald Ford, and Sting. After escaping Egypt in 1952, King Farouk I was a guest of the hotel during part of his exile in Italy.[6]

Since 1986, the Grand Hotel has been a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.[3]
