Centricus has acquired the iconic Capri Palace Hotel & Spa as it makes a foray into the high-end hotel and resorts sector.

Centricus, a London-based investment firm that oversees more than $23 billion in assets, has purchased all of the resort, which is located in Anacapri, a small town in the northwest of the island off the Italian coast, according to a statement seen by Bloomberg. It features 68 guest rooms and is home to Capri’s only two Michelin-starred restaurants. Guests have included Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio and Gwyneth Paltrow.
