This exclusive and luxurious 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 give 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 brought back to its original splendor this majestic place.
