In Palermo, Secrets and Stories Await Around Every Corner

"Transformed by architect Ernesto Basile in the late 19th century, this hotel offers extravagant columns, mirrored spaces, and nude sculptures. Rooms are spacious, and the central location is ideal."

It is a wonderful hotel near the city center, with a classy ambiance and very helpful concierge. We emailed them in advance and asked them to arrange tours for us: they did a wonderful job. The tour guide they selected was fantastic. |They also booked the opera tickets for us (Teatro Massimo is but a short stroll from the hotel). |The breakfast buffet was great, and the service was impeccable, just like at the bar for a pre-dinner drink.|When we come back to Palermo, we will stay here again for sure.

Grand Hotel et Des Palmes was impeccable! It is a beautiful property. The service was flawless and friendly from reception staff to the restaurants servers and housekeeping staff. The uniforms are elegant as one would expect from Italian high fashion. The room was spacious and well appointed, the bathroom was large, spotless and luxurious.|The building has an interesting storied history. The hotel kept the beautiful appointments from the grand mansion/palace they transformed. We were very pleased with our four night stay there. If you appreciate excellent service and a luxurious experience, you will too.

This hotel location is perfect. It has a grand entrance but it seems not put to good use. There is a nice breakfast room that looks like it should be a beautiful bar/restaurant but it is not used for that purpose. It seems they have moved all the dining and drinks upstairs to the outdoor terrace but it really is not that nice up there. There is only view of odd buildings and the wall is so high that you really can't see anything while sitting down. Drinks are good enough but service is very spotty in the bar. We had a suite on the street side and I would not get it again. Everything was in working order and we had a gift of sweets when we arrived. Bathroom was beautiful but mirror too high to use well and I am a tall woman. The decor was a little too sparse and cold in there and there was a lot of noise from the street from midnight to 2am. We did see smaller rooms and they were actually nicer and more cozy. I would definitely stay here again but I would get a regular room facing the inner courtyard so it would be quiet. The beds were very comfortable and the staff at the front desk was excellent. Be careful of cab driver pricing. Get your price before you get in the car.

The Grand Hotel et des Palmes is one of those places where time seems to bend out of sheer courtesy. The moment you step inside, you’re wrapped in an elegance that never needs to show off: gentle scents, soft lighting, and staff who appear exactly when you need them, as if they’d read your mind a minute earlier. The rooms are an ode to refined discretion. Silky fabrics, calm colors, details that don’t shout but whisper good taste. And then there’s the silence—that rare kind of silence that turns every night into an invitation to unwind completely. The best part, though, is the feeling of being treated not just as a guest, but as a silent partner in a small enchantment. Every gesture is measured, yet natural. From impeccable room service to a breakfast that feels like a morning caress, everything works in harmony to transform your stay into an experience rather than a mere overnight. And then there’s the restaurant, the true stage of the Grand Hotel et des Palmes. Here, the cuisine doesn’t simply feed you: it woos you, teases you, conquers you with almost theatrical precision. Every dish is crafted like a short story—intense, polished, with not a single note out of place. The chef moves between tradition and invention with disarming confidence. A broth that smells like memory, fish brought to the table in a perfect balance of sea and technique, desserts that seem to murmur, “Relax, we’ll take care of the grand finale.” The presentations are so elegant you almost hesitate to disturb those little masterpieces… until the first bite makes all doubts evaporate. Service ties everything together with gracious professionalism: well-judged suggestions, unforced smiles, wine pairings that feel like a perfectly rehearsed handshake. In short, the restaurant at the Grand Hotel et des Palmes isn’t just an accessory to the hotel: it’s its gourmet soul, a place where cooking becomes an act of pure hospitality. An unmissable stop for anyone who loves being surprised with style.

I booked larger room, deluxe room, so room is not small, has space for luggage. The room has two chairs, a window face to the street. The property is not too far from the Old town and other restaurants and luxury stores, about 5-7 minutes walk to the opera house, 25 minutes to thanks cathedral. Hotel’s public space is very charming. There are two places that are not meet my expectation: 1) the bathroom is sort of small, won’t fit two people, and shower space is limited due to its orientation. 2) the breakfast is average food, the service was not so attentive on the first day, but improved next two days.

Amazing location and historical building. Staff is professional and kind. The rooms are late and adequately appointed; I would rate a 4.5 on floating 5 star scale. It is absolutely the place to stay if you want a city center experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good with a nice assortment of fresh foods and pastries. The location made it easy to walk to so many places in Palermo too.

We had a nice stay at this hotel. The common areas of the hotel were well appointed and you certainly felt like you were in a luxury property in the common areas. The room was spacious and clean and the bed comfortable. The hotel is well located for exploring the city. I wouldn’t say that the property felt as luxurious as other luxury properties and the value proposition was maybe not the best, but I think this is just an expensive city to stay in and you can’t avoid paying a lot for a good hotel but not an amazing hotel.

The rooms are so nice and cool! They give you snacks and stuff in a mini fridge!! You feel the AC but not hear it! They have free lemon water at the lobby and there is room service so you can lay in bed and order a pizza. Would rate 103,728,448 stars if I could.

Yea...so this place is a run down, unkept mess. Don't be fooled by the lobby. Once you get to your floor take a good look at the walls and the rugs. Filthy, stains everywhere, looks like they have neglected it for years and years. The cherry on top was on my final night I had a run in with two large roaches (scarafaggi!) in the bathroom. Totally grossed out, couldnt sleep, just wanted to leave. Stay away, in fact, run. bring Raid!

When we booked Hotel des Palmes as part of a New Year's getaway, we looked forward to staying somewhere with history. In its day, this hotel was THE place to hold meetings and rendezvous with the high-profile folk of Palermo. When we arrived, the hotel lobby spoke of better times and felt a bit messy, with a noticeboard of events and fixtures that wouldn't have seemed out of place at Butlin's, but looked very wrong here. The front desk staff were helpful, but not particularly happy folk, and the porter/concierge desk was never once manned. Upstairs, our room was lovely, but the corridors we followed to reach it were depressingly pre-refurbishment. The positive thing is that the refurbed areas have been done beautifully, and when we returned at the end of our Sicilian holiday, we stayed in an even lovelier room than the first. However, the air con was impossible to regulate and very noisy, so that kept us awake at night, and the parking system was equally frustrating as the parking building was a good 10 min walk away and if you wanted your car, you had to ask reception who would phone the parking attendant who would drive the car to the hotel but for some reason this process always had us waiting 30-40mins. Positives - the breakfast room manager was warm and welcoming, the hot chocolate is to die for and the hotel's location is unbeatable. You could do a lot worse than stay at the Hotel des Palmes if ever you find yourself in Palermo.
