NOTES

The exclusive and luxurious Grand Hotel et des Palmes hotel was founded in 1874, renovated in Art Nouveau style in 1907, and today seamlessly combines historical charm and modern comfort.  The hotel is located on Via Roma, one of the most well-known shopping streets in Palermo, and within walking distance of all the main cultural attractions of the city, such as the gorgeous Massimo and Politeama theatres.

It is an authentic emotion to get lost along the corridors and the sumptuous halls of the Grand Hotel et Des Palmes, where refined fabrics and elegant interiors are shaped by the light that filters through this space.   History dialogues with the contemporary style creating a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere.  The sumptuous hall, with its high frescoed ceilings, the original Liberty style windows, and the Winter Garden are a tribute to the Art Nouveau style by the Architect Ernesto Basile.  The modifications of Basile have given new life to the building, keeping the structure unchanged, but revisiting the spaces according to the new standards of international hotel architecture. Splendid polychrome windows create light effects in contrast to the shaded areas, the colonnades of the hall offer a perspective image of the ground floor, and the ornaments, and furnishings of the main halls, such as antique furniture, precious majolica, porcelain, and tapestries, transform the hotel into a city museum. A new era for this historical building that has been brought back to its original splendour this is now a majestic place. There are two reasons that result from every experience at the Grand Hotel et Des Palmes: Historical heritage and contemporary design.

The heartbeat of each room is in all the stylish details that transport any guest back in time with a perfect balance of tradition and contemporary style. The combination of comfort and design enhances the innovation and functionality of every interior and its decor.  The result is an enchanting atmosphere, where the pleasure of living meets the charm of refined hospitality with an international style, for an unforgettable stay.

In the former ballroom of the Ingham family, the Saolne degli Specchi, the refined gastronomy that has been created is a contemporary mix of gourmet innovations and the adaptation of traditional Sicilian flavours that adapats to guests needs throughout the day. The Belle Epoque is referenced through the restaurant’s ambience with romantic charm emanating from the architecture and the decorative elements such as the stained glass windows to the sumptuous burgundy velvet sofas. The Sensus Mixology bar showcases and impressive collection of prestigious spirits and selection of classic and creative signature cocktails. The extension of this is the new Dehors terrace where guests and locals alike meet for dinks or snacks surrounded by the city’s lively atmosphere.
