Lock in a great price for Grand Hotel Ortigia – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

Everything was perfect. The room was perfect. The restaurant was excellent in food and atmosphere. Parking is extra, but it was very close and convenient in Ortegia.

Jun, United States of America

They changed our room to a one level, much nicer. They helped with diner reservations also, and the entire staff were delightful to work with.

Margaret, United States of America

Excellent staff, very friendly and helpful. Stunning views, lovely room, amazing breakfast.

Nicholas, United Kingdom

Execellent staff, really top notch. Breakfast on the terrace was fantastic for the view and the food!

Patricia, Canada

The location over looks the waterfront and beautiful Bay. There was a splendid buffet breakfast in the dinning room which had spectacular views over the water and Syracuse. The hotel is elegantly furnished with period pieces and fabrics recalling a glamorous era. Our room was small but charming with a very nice bathroom. We only stayed one night, I wish we could have enjoyed it for longer. The girls at the front desk were most pleasant and helpful, and had good English.

Gillian, Australia

Everything! The ability to walk to everything we desired to see in the Ortigia region.

Alexander, United States of America

An Inside Look at Grand Hotel Ortigia

Quality and Welcome In order to give to a restaurant the explicit name "La Terrazza sul Mare" (The Terrace on the Sea), nothing else needs to be made up: in fact, a quick look to the pictures is enough to understand the atmosphere of the place. Furthermore, there is the welcome, that in Sicily is almost a religion: the chef Maurizio Urso and his staff will take care of everything, making you live enjoyable moments strengthened by a cuisine of other times, in a seducing frame of ineffable beauty. We find ourselves in Ortigia, a small little island linked to Syracuse and directly reachable by car; Here we can admire intense sunsets characterised by the Mediterranean colours and bright lights that flood the diversities of the sea, all of that observing the Penisola della Maddalena in the distance.

Grand Hotel Ortigia takes special requests – add in the next step!

눉We were entirely content.
눇The Grand Ortigia is a traditional purpose-built hotel ideally located on the waterfront adjacent to the Promenade, with beautiful views across the bay from its rooftop restaurant and bar that made breakfast the highlight of our stay. In any event the breakfast is first class, with an array of deliciously tempting choices. The hotel is well located close to the centre of Ortigia, with all the main sights and plenty of good restaurants within 15 minutes' easy walking. Despite the hotel having its own restaurant the exceptionally helpful staff offered a range of options for dinner and top quality information on visits, opening times and access. Indeed, the staff of the Grand Ortigia are its greatest asset and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Our room was comfortable, well maintained and a good size, with very effective double glazing that suppressed all the street noise (it was a fiesta weekend). We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay at the Grand Ortigia and our visit to Siracusa.

“(Almost) everything is taken care of”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 6 nights
눉More sockets needed in a hotel room in the world of today. E.g. near one of the mirrors. Most of the rooms of the type we had (standard double) were larger than ours and had two windows. We had a smaller room with only one window and were a little envious. The room was placed beneath the kitchen of the roof terrasse restaurant; from early morning people were busy up there; difficult to sleep later than 7 a.m. Probably this is a problem in only a few rooms, and perhaps,like with the sockets, one that might be solved easily.
눇Comfortable beds, very good opportunities of storing things in wardrobe and drawers, good light in room. Room inspected late afternoon and e.g. new towels provided if needed, lots of choices for breakfast and excellent fruit. Terrasse room used for breakfast open all day: as a bar/lounge, for lunch,for pre-dinner drinks, and for excellent dinners. Weather permitting one can be seated outside. They offer all kinds of service, e.g. parking or taking out of your car (not needed, but nice to be asked). Competent staff, service minded - and very kind.
