Small hotel in the centre of Palermo, Sicily, Italy

Hotel Sicilia, Palermo

The Hotel Sicilia is a homely two-star hotel right in the very heart of downtown Palermo. This compact hotel has just 22 well-presented bedrooms, with high ceilings and elegant, fresh decor. It is a recently renovated property, in an elegant old building, with a central, plant-filled courtyard and traditional chandelier light fittings throughout the hotel. Each bedroom is equipped with air conditioning, television, telephone and private en-suite facilities. The hotel also has a 24-hour reception, and an internet connection point for any guests wishing to send an email home or keep in touch with the office.

This Palermo hotel has an enviable position right opposite the Comitini palace, and is just moments away from the most important squares and palaces of the city. The Teatro Massimo, one of the largest theatres in Europe, and the Teatro Politeama, are also nearby. Any visitors interested in the arts must also pay a visit to the International Puppet Museum which houses a staggering collection of puppets, marionettes and scenery from around the world. Special mention must also be made of Palermo's famous markets - whole days can be lost strolling around the Vucciria food market or the Casa Professa and Lattarini clothes markets. Once visitors have exhausted the city's streets, a short excursion to Monte Pellegrino, 14 kilometres away, affords a breathtaking view back over Palermo and its surrounding area.
