A five-star Art Nouveau hotel in the old town

Nestled on Via Roma, one of the bustling main shopping streets of Palermo, this splendid hotel has a prime, central downtown location. Perfectly located for exploring the old town, you’ll have easy access to all the major attractions, with street markets, vibrant bars and restaurants, and the marina, all within walking distance. Beautiful beaches can be found along the coast, with the nearest just 10 minutes away by car.

But you won’t want to be treading sand through this regal Sicilian hotel. Originally constructed as a city palazzo for a prominent English household who amassed their wealth selling Marsala wine to the British navy, the hotel boasts a rich and storied history. 

It was transformed into an Art Nouveau hotel by the architect and designer Ernesto Basile, and it now features elegant modern touches while staying true to its roots. Choose to dine in style on the 5th floor roof terrace with panoramic city views, or head to the Neobistrot & Sensus Mixology Bar for a gastronomic experience in the former ballroom.

The range of room categories starts with inner-facing courtyard options, right up to the luxurious Presidential Suite, which features Wagner’s piano. Each room has a sense of spaciousness and elegance, seamlessly blending contemporary comforts with original Art Nouveau features. Amenities include air conditioning, a flatscreen TV, and a minibar, ensuring you live your best life in this Sicilian palazzo.
