This magnificent, aristocratic residence from the 18th century was
brought back to its original splendour by expert restoration works.
The particular care exercised in the selection of furnishings and
the preservation of the original structures endows the hotel with a
special charm and a unique personality. On the main floor, lavish
frescos and precious antique furniture recreate a magical
atmosphere straight out of the novel, The Leopard. The
air-conditioned establishment offers 102 rooms in total and
welcomes guests in a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out
services, a hotel safe, cloakroom and lift access. There is also an
auditorium, cafe, bar and restaurant. Guests may take advantage of
the conference facilities, room service and car park, and a garage
and laundry service are provided for an additional fee.

Restaurant & Food
The hotel’s main floor houses the "RESTAURANT 1892", where a
rich breakfast buffet is served to our guests in a magical
atmosphere. The magnificent setting of this restaurant makes it the
ideal location to organize special event lunches or dinners as well
as wedding receptions. The restaurant / grill "AI TETTI" is located
on the hotel’s panoramic terrace, where a breathtaking view
of old Palermo and the domes of the Teatro Massimo provide a
background for candle-light dinners. Our chefs offer a typically
Mediterranean cuisine and – if requested in advance –
will prepare a menu featuring dishes that follow the old traditions
of a baron’s palazzo-
