After Fabio Datteroni’s departure Imelda Shllaku will take over at Hotel La Palma on Capri for its reopening. With an almost thirty-year career behind her, the future general manager boasts extensive experience in the luxury hospitality sector.
Management roles in Europe and the Middle East

Subsequently, she managed the London and Milan properties of Bulgari Hotel & Resorts for seven years, holding various positions, and eventually becoming director of rooms at the Armani Hotel in Dubai and the One & Only in the Maldives. After a year off, in which she dealt with consultancy for 15 important luxury hotels, she then took over as general manager of the Baglioni Hotel London. Her last role before Capri saw her become global director of rooms & guest experiences for the Kerzner International group.
“We will guarantee guests an impeccable experience”
“I am enthusiastic about my new role as general manager of La Palma on Capri,- says Shllaku. - I believe that my experience will allow me to lead the team in the best possible way, guaranteeing guests an impeccable experience. We can't wait to open the doors of this special property and welcome both locals and guests from all over the world."
Right beside Capri’s Piazzetta square
La Palma on the island of Capri, built in 1822 and completely refurbished, is the first hotel project to bear the signature of Francis Sultana. The interior designer collaborated with the best local craftsmen to pay homage to tradition. Just a short walk from the legendary little Piazzetta square, the hotel has a restaurant and a terrace bar, beach club, swimming pool, spa, gym and three boutiques. The catering will be managed by chef Gennaro Esposito.
