Lock in a great price for Grand Hotel Et Des Palmes – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

A well appointed hotel in an excellent location - very big - so also somewhat impersonal. However, my room was large, comfortable and quiet - and breakfast was great - so all good!

Perry, New Zealand

We loved the sense of history and old fashioned comfort of the hotel, which included a lovely chandeliered dining room for buffet breakfast, complete with cannolis, fresh fruit, eggs, coffees, and pastries. The hotel was a good value for the money. Staff spoke English and were helpful with information. The bar/lobby area is very inviting for sitting. The hotel is within walking distance on many sites. Our first night (Saturday) we saw a free concert at the Politeanna plaza.

Ruth, United States of America

The staff are fantastic, so helpful and always available. The place just has such an old world film set charm about it...hotels with this sense of history are few and far between!

William, United Kingdom

Good location, friendly staff and comfortable good sized rooms.

Simon, United Kingdom

If you like the old fashioned grandeur of this type of hotel, you will not be disappointed! There are lovely marble statues, beautiful interior features and a grand breakfast dining room (with classical music at breakfast!) The breakfast was very good with plenty of choices, tables with white tablecloths, chandeliers, and waiters in proper livery. Being in the centre of Palermo we expected it would be difficult to park the car, but the hotel has a valet service, so you leave your keys and they park for you (charges apply) So all very convenient!

Cindy, United Kingdom

Room was very big and had a very comfortable bed. Our room was very clean, thanks to the lady who clean it everyday. They change the linens and towels every single day which has not been the case of some of the hotels we stayed here in Sicily. I am a bit irritated because we pay the same amount everyday. It is not reduced price. Going back to this hotel, they have impressive selection of food for breakfast in a very fancy hall. I love the old style interior decoration of this hotel. I am sure the walls have lots of stories to tell.

Joselan, Norway

Stylish and characterful hotel - very grand. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was very good - lots of fresh fruit. Excellent location.

Alexander, United Kingdom

This beautiful hotel is located perfectly in the city center of Palermo. Every place of interest is within walking distance. The rooms are beautifully decored and the beds are very comforable. The breakfast is an "experience" and is served in a beautiful room! It isn't hard to image how a rich family once lived here. The valet parking option was very convenient.

Marielle, Netherlands

Especially the staff atvthe reception are just the best. The way it used to be, old school. Mr. Domenico went out if his way to make my stay very pleasant.nothing not to like

Romy, Switzerland

Good service, friendly and helpful staff, especially Dalila and the front office manager, they did an excellent job!

Carl, Sweden

One of our top picks in Palermo.

Grand Hotel Et Des Palmes is an elegant Art Nouveau building, a 5-minute walk from Palermo’s Massimo and Politeama Theaters. It has classically furnished rooms and an extensive Sicilian breakfast.

Rooms at Des Palmes are decorated with traditional furniture and fine fabrics. Each has air conditioning, satellite TV and a minibar.

Breakfast is served in a luxurious hall, and includes cappuccino, almond pastries, and granita crushed ice in summer. Il Gattopardo piano bar serves cocktails and Marsala dessert wine.

Palermo Port, where ferries depart for Cagliari and Naples, is a 10-minute walk away. Palermo Cathedral is one mile from the hotel.

Ruggero Settimo is a great choice for travelers interested in food, monuments and culture.

This is our guests' favorite part of Palermo, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.

눉The promised satellite channels were virtually non existent - CNN was available- but who wants to watch American news at the moment?! The carpets could do with replacing - but really - minor gripes only.

“Inexpensive Old-Time Sicilian Elegance”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉.Valet parking was 25 euros/night. Parking on the street costs 1 euro/hour. You can park for free on Sundays on the street. There are about 4 spaces in front of the hotel where you can park your car temporarily while loading/unloading your luggage. Palermo is filled with one way and pedestrian streets, so driving is a bit complicated. It was nice to splurge and have some one park our car for us. It was delivered to the hotel the next day for us to pick up.
눇We loved the sense of history and old fashioned comfort of the hotel, which included a lovely chandeliered dining room for buffet breakfast, complete with cannolis, fresh fruit, eggs, coffees, and pastries. The hotel was a good value for the money. Staff spoke English and were helpful with information. The bar/lobby area is very inviting for sitting. The hotel is within walking distance on many sites.

눉I love this hotel, it really is fantastic. My only criticism is of the televisions in the rooms which are very old and in desperate need of replacing across the entire hotel. They are at least 15 years old and are not flatscreen as was stated in the confirmation my father received when booking. They are huge and very dated. The reception on them is not good...and as for HD, forget it. This really needs to be addressed as apart from this the hotel is wonderful...albeit in need of decorating here and there.
눇The staff are fantastic, so helpful and always available. The place just has such an old world film set charm about it...hotels with this sense of history are few and far between!

눉The hotel in general needs total renovation. I have read somewhere that this hotel is up for sale. I hope there will be an investor who will bring this hotel back to its grandeur in the old days.
