"A restored belle epoque grande dame in Palermo that was revitalized by Rocco Forte Hotels in 2021, preserving original art nouveau frescoes by Ernesto Basile while brightening rooms and public spaces across roughly 100 accommodations. Guests can sip spritzes by the sea-facing pool, dine at Florio Restaurant under chef Fulvio Pierangelini, play tennis, relax at the Irene Forte Spa, and explore the hotel’s gardens and Palermo’s vibrant cultural offerings." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
