Built in 1874, the smoke-free Grand Hotel Et Des Palmes Palermo is located about 5 minutes' walk from the grandiose 19th-century theatre "Politeama Garibaldi Theater" in the Ruggero Settimo district of Palermo. Boasting a location in the vicinity of Massimo Theater, the 5-star hotel offers 113 rooms and a lounge bar onsite.
Nestled just 1.3 km from Giardino Inglese Garden, the hotel is just 1.1 km from Martorana Church. The Grand Hotel Palermo provides history lovers with proximity to the venerable Norman Palace (1.9 km) and the 12th-century palace "Castello della Zisa" (2.1 km). The property is also a few moments from The Antonio Pasqualino International Puppet Museum and Piazza Don Sturzo bus station is nearly a 5-minute walk away. You can easily reach Palermo Central train station, located just 1.2 km from the hotel.

Review by hotel critic
Upon entering the Salone degli Specchi, I was awestruck by the crystal glass surroundings and intricately designed ceiling. The blend of Art Nouveau style dating back to 1907 with modern amenities made my stay comfortable and culturally rich. The hotel's historical glamour perfectly complemented Palermo's charm, providing a unique experience for guests seeking a taste of the past.Convenient amenities like babysitting services and a nearby fitness facility catered to all needs. The proximity to Via Roma, a prominent shopping street, was ideal for indulging in retail therapy. The on-site dining options, Il Gatopardo and Sala Specchi, offered classic dishes in a refined setting.Despite the slightly worn edges that added character to the historic ambiance, the attentive staff ensured a seamless stay. The 24-hour reception, complimentary Wi-Fi, and shuttle services enhanced the overall convenience.In conclusion, my stay was a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, making it a memorable sojourn in the heart of Palermo.
