Hotel Concordia - Palermo, Sicily

Hotel Concordia, Palermo

The one-star Concordia Hotel in Palermo, Sicily, is a palazzo dating back to 1800, fully restored in 2002 to give you the best of modern comforts while still retaining the historic character of the building. It's the perfect place to stay if you want to soak up the atmosphere of the city, as it's situated right in the heart of the old town or 'centro storico'. A short stroll away is the wonderful Vucciria market, selling traditional crafts including pottery and the famous 'pupi' puppets, as well as the beautifully restored Teatro Massimo ('Great Theatre'). It's also very near the central station, so is easy to reach.

This Sicilian hotel's 13 rooms all offer a lovely view of the old town, and are equipped with modern comforts, including a private bathroom, colour TV, air conditioning, a well-stocked mini bar and direct dial phone. Several of the rooms have wooden flooring, and all are simply and elegantly furnished with lovely hand-made iron bedsteads and good-quality linen. Business visitors are catered for with fax services and free internet access. The Concordia staff are happy to recommend the best local restaurants, and organise excursions to help you see the best of the area. There is also free parking, a transfer service to and from the airport, and a 24-hour reception desk.

While you're staying in this lovely town, take the opportunity to explore the sights around Palermo too - including the stunning hill-top Monreale Cathedral with its dazzling golden mosaics, and the white sandy beaches of Mondello, with its fabulous sea food and fun watersports, including snorkeling.
