Short description : Boasting a position in the heart of ancient Palermo, this charming hotel is close to the city’s most popular attractions, including the Cathedral, Teatro Massimo and the colourful Vucciria market.
The recently-renovated hotel is housed in an early 19th century palace and combines modern technology with its original architectural style. Its central location, just 500 metres from Palermo’s central station, makes it the ideal starting point for a visit to the city’s most enchanting sites, all of which are accessible by the frequent and reliable public transport.
Room Information : The hotel's 13 rooms boast enchanting views of the old town. With their iron, hand-made beds and elegant linen and furniture, the rooms mimic those in a late 1800’s Sicilian palace without renouncing any of the comforts guaranteed by the most modern technology.

In the year 1200, the city was the residence of the emperor Frederick II of Swabia who changed it into the main cultural centre of the island. On October, 21 1860, thanks to Garibaldi, the city was annexed to the Reign of Italy.
