About the Hotel

The Capri Inn is an intimate 58-room boutique hotel in Old Naples with traditional guest rooms, one-bedroom suites, and the private two-bedroom Coquina Cottage. On property, guests will find a tropical outdoor pool, Lobby Lounge, courtyard and patio, while complimentary bicycles and local shuttle transportation make it easy to venture out. The experience is best suited to travelers looking for a smaller Naples hotel rather than an expansive full-service resort.

No. The Capri Inn is located approximately one mile from Naples Beach. Guests can use the hotel’s complimentary electric shuttle to reach nearby public beach access points, making it possible to combine beach days with a stay in Old Naples without staying directly on the Gulf.

The Capri Inn can accommodate everything from couples’ getaways to family vacations and longer Naples stays. King rooms are a natural fit for couples and solo travelers, rooms with two queen beds provide flexibility for families and friends, and one-bedroom suites add separate living space and a kitchenette. For guests who need even more room and residential-style amenities, Coquina Cottage offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, laundry, and a private lawn.

Getting Here & Transportation

The Capri Inn is located at 955 7th Avenue South in Old Naples, just a few blocks from Fifth Avenue South and close to Tin City, Cambier Park, Third Street South, and Naples Beach. Its central location makes restaurants, shops, galleries, entertainment, and several downtown attractions easy to reach on foot, by bicycle, or aboard the hotel’s complimentary GEM shuttle.

Naples Airport (APF) is approximately three miles from The Capri Inn, while Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) near Fort Myers is approximately 35 miles away and serves many commercial flights into Southwest Florida. The hotel does not offer an airport shuttle, so guests typically use a rental car, taxi, rideshare, or private transportation to reach the hotel.

A car isn’t necessary for every stay. Many Old Naples restaurants, shops, and attractions can be reached on foot, while complimentary bicycles and the hotel’s electric shuttle provide additional options for getting around the immediate area and reaching Naples Beach. A car is useful for travelers planning to explore farther afield, including attractions outside downtown Naples or other Southwest Florida destinations.

The Capri Inn’s open-air GEM electric shuttle provides transportation within the nearby area, including Fifth Avenue South, Third Street South, Tin City, Naples Beach, Cambier Park, and the NCH Wellness Center. The shuttle is particularly convenient for beach trips and getting around downtown Naples without having to drive or find parking.

Yes. On-site self-parking is included in the hotel’s daily resort fee and is limited to registered hotel guests. Up to two vehicles are permitted per room, while trailers and boats cannot be parked on property.

Accommodations

The Capri Inn offers guest rooms with either one king or two queen beds, one-bedroom suites, accessible accommodations, and the private two-bedroom Coquina Cottage. Traditional rooms measure approximately 315 to 345 square feet, while one-bedroom suites offer approximately 600 square feet with a separate living room, sleeper sofa, kitchenette, and dining area.

For couples or solo travelers, a traditional king room provides a comfortable home base for exploring Naples. Two-queen rooms offer more sleeping flexibility for families and friends, while one-bedroom suites are ideal for guests who want separate sleeping and living spaces plus a kitchenette. Coquina Cottage offers the most space and privacy, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, private lawn, washer and dryer, and separate gated entrance.

Coquina Cottage is a private two-bedroom, two-bath home located on the grounds of The Capri Inn. The historic cottage offers a gated entrance, private lawn, living room with fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, and accommodations for up to four guests. Cottage guests receive daily housekeeping and access to The Capri Inn’s amenities, making it a unique option for families and travelers who want the space and privacy of a Naples vacation rental with the services of a hotel.

Select rooms at The Capri Inn feature balconies, so guests who consider private outdoor space a priority should choose an accommodation that specifically lists a balcony when booking.

One-bedroom suites feature kitchenettes with a mini-fridge, microwave, wet bar, and dining table for four. The Coquina Cottage offers the most complete kitchen setup, with a full-size refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, oven, and four-burner stove. Standard room amenities vary, so guests who specifically need a refrigerator, microwave, or food-preparation space should select an accommodation that lists those features when booking.

Amenities & Activities

The Capri Inn offers an outdoor pool, courtyard and patio, complimentary bicycles, local GEM shuttle transportation, and access to the nearby NCH Wellness Center. Its downtown Naples location also puts guests close to shopping, restaurants, parks, beaches, boating, and other activities.

Yes. The Capri Inn has a tropical outdoor pool surrounded by lounge chairs and umbrellas. Pool access is reserved for registered hotel guests, providing a quiet place to relax between trips to Naples Beach or time spent exploring downtown.

Yes. Complimentary bicycle use is included with a stay at The Capri Inn. Bikes provide an easy option for exploring the surrounding Old Naples area and are available in addition to the hotel’s local electric shuttle.

Dining

The Capri Inn does not have a full-service restaurant. A light continental breakfast is served each morning in the Lobby Lounge, while the Lounge offers beer, wine, and snacks in the afternoon and evening. This setup works well for guests who plan to experience Naples’ restaurant scene for lunch and dinner rather than dine exclusively at the hotel.

A light continental breakfast is included as part of the daily resort fee and is served in the Lobby Lounge from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. Guests can start the morning with coffee and assorted locally sourced breakfast pastries before heading out for the day.

The Capri Inn is just a few blocks from Fifth Avenue South, one of Naples’ primary dining districts, with restaurants ranging from casual cafés and pizzerias to steakhouses, seafood restaurants, and fine dining. Additional options can be found around nearby Third Street South and Tin City. This walkable restaurant access is one of the advantages of staying at The Capri Inn compared with a more secluded Naples resort.

Policies & Fees

The Capri Inn charges a daily resort fee that covers a selection of amenities and services, self-parking, bicycle rentals, and continental breakfast. Because resort-fee inclusions and rates can change, guests should review the current resort policy when booking for the most up-to-date list of benefits. You can find our list of resort fee inclusions on our policy page.

A nightly pet fee applies, and room-type and location restrictions may apply. Dogs receive an Opal Paws welcome amenity, and pets must remain leashed outside the guest room. Guests traveling with a dog should also keep in mind that pet regulations vary at Naples beaches, parks, restaurants, and other local attractions.

One-bedroom suites provide additional living space, while Coquina Cottage offers two bedrooms, a kitchen, private lawn, and living areas for travelers who want to stay together in a more residential setting.

Practical Questions

The Capri Inn has an intimate, relaxed atmosphere that feels more like a neighborhood retreat than a sprawling resort. With just 58 rooms and suites, a tropical pool, courtyard, and Lobby Lounge, the hotel offers plenty of places to slow down between days spent at the beach or exploring Naples.

A long weekend of three to four nights gives guests time to enjoy Naples Beach, relax by the pool, explore Old Naples, and experience a few of the area’s restaurants and attractions. For a longer stay, consider adding a boating excursion, Naples Botanical Garden, Naples Zoo, or a day trip into the Everglades and surrounding Southwest Florida.

The hotel offers dry-cleaning valet service Monday through Friday but does not have self-service guest laundry facilities. Travelers who need private laundry facilities can consider Coquina Cottage, which includes its own full-size washer and dryer.

Accessible accommodations are available, please visit our stay page for more info.

Exploring the Area

Guests can experience several sides of Naples during a stay at The Capri Inn. Spend a day along Naples Beach, shop and dine along Fifth Avenue South or Third Street South, visit Tin City and Cambier Park, or venture farther to Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens, Naples Botanical Garden, and Artis—Naples. Boating, fishing, sightseeing cruises, golf, and excursions into Southwest Florida’s natural areas provide additional options.

Old Naples is known for its tree-lined streets, historic neighborhoods, Gulf beaches, restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and pedestrian-friendly downtown districts. Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South are two of its best-known destinations, while nearby parks, beaches, and waterfront activities give visitors plenty to experience beyond shopping and dining.

Families can combine beach and pool time with attractions such as Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens, Naples Botanical Garden, and Cambier Park. Boat tours and wildlife-focused excursions offer additional ways to experience Southwest Florida, while Naples Beach provides an easy option for a day outdoors.

Naples’ Gulf Coast setting makes boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, beach days, and sunset cruises popular ways to spend time outdoors. Golf courses and nature preserves offer options away from the water, while travelers interested in Southwest Florida wildlife can venture farther south toward the Ten Thousand Islands and Everglades.

Yes. Naples is a convenient starting point for exploring the western Everglades and surrounding natural areas. Depending on the destination, visitors can plan a day trip for guided eco-tours, wildlife viewing, kayaking, hiking, or airboat excursions. Travel times vary, so guests should choose their specific park entrance or tour departure point before setting out.

Direct Booking Benefits

Yes, booking directly on The Capri Inn’s website always gives you confidence you’re getting the best value. Many online travel agencies (OTAs) may advertise what looks like a lower rate, but that’s often because they don’t show associated fees upfront. Once the OTAs factor those in (usually at the last step in the booking process), the cost typically matches (or is more than) what you’d pay by booking direct – except without the benefits that come with booking straight from the source.

There are several advantages you miss out on when you don’t book direct, including:

  • Exclusive Offers – When you book through our website, you unlock exclusive offers you won’t see on third-party sites. These specials add extra value to your stay, from savings on longer getaways and seasonal promotions to curated experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
  • Access to More Availability/Room Types – There are limits on the inventory sold through online travel agencies, so when you book directly, you’ll find the widest availability and most access to every room type – making it easier to choose the perfect fit for your stay.
  • True Customer Service – From booking to checkout, you’ll work directly with the people who know the property best. Our concierge and front-desk staff can tailor recommendations, handle special requests, and anticipate your needs to ensure every detail of your getaway is seamless, stress-free, and exactly the experience you’re looking for. OTAs will never do that.

Absolutely. When you book direct, any changes or cancellations are handled quickly and personally by our hotel team or our dedicated Opal Collection reservations team – no middleman, no hassle. With OTA reservations, adjustments have to go through large centralized call centers that manage thousands of properties, which often means longer wait times and less flexibility.

When booking online, always pay attention to the search results – and be on the lookout for scammy imitation sponsored ads from OTAs. Make sure the link points to the hotel’s official domain (opalcollection.pro/capri-inn) or booking engine (reservations.opalcollection.pro/capri-inn), not a third-party site. And, when in doubt, start at the hotel’s homepage or call the property.
