If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Palermo
Palermo's labyrinthine streets, Baroque churches, and bustling markets find their perfect complement in Small Luxury Hotels that turn restored palazzi into intimate, design-forward retreats where few rooms, personalized service, and local gastronomy create a deeply authentic stay. For the best experience, seek centrally located properties with rooftop terraces and concierge-curated food and walking tours, book well ahead for festival periods, and favor family-run or locally sourced hotels that prioritize artisanal breakfasts, quiet courtyards, and insider access to the city's lesser-known sights.
