GIVING BAG PARTNERS WITH HOTEL LA PALMA; THE FIRST GIVING BAG PARTNER IN ITALY
Giving Bag is proud to partner with Hotel La Palma in Capri, our first Italian hotel partner. Since 2014 Giving Bag has been proud to partner with other hotels within the Oetker Collection like Hotel du Cap Eden Roc, Hotel Le Bristol, Eden Rock St. Barths, L'Apogée Courchevel, and Chateau St. Martin. We could not be more excited to welcome Hotel La Palma to the Giving Bag family.
​
Hotel La Palma, Capri’s first hotel established in 1822, has been beautifully reimagined by the Oetker Collection as an intimate 50-room retreat near the iconic Piazzetta. Blending neoclassical and art deco design by Francis Sultana, the hotel offers timeless elegance and modern luxury. Guests can enjoy a rooftop restaurant and bar, a private beach club at Marina Piccola, and a serene spa.

WHAT SHOULD I DONATE?
Once at Hotel La Palma, simply place gently used clothing, shoes, or books into Giving Bag. Other items we've seen donated are belts, hats, and neck ties. At the moment, we cannot accept money or food as donations.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Upon checkout, your items will be collected from the room's Giving Bag and organized for donation to a local charity. Items will be inspected before donation to make sure they are in usable condition to be donated.
