4.5 (6 reviews) · Comfort
Historic hotel with Etna views, a roof garden, a Turkish bath, and two restaurants

Overview

Palace Catania by UNA Esperienze offers a comfortable stay in the center of Catania. This renovated property was restored to preserve its identity while offering modern comfort. The building, which provides a panoramic view of Mount Etna from its spacious roof garden, is a tribute to Italian style, and the hotel's central location makes it an ideal base for exploring the city's key attractions. You'll be just a 3-minute walk from Villa Bellini, connected to Parco Maestranze, and 12 minutes to the Catania Cathedral and Elephant Fountain.

The hotel's rooms and suites are well furnished, each featuring a contemporary rendition of Sicilian Baroque design. White walls and curtains create a bright, airy environment, contrasted with dark oak furniture and features inspired by Arab/Norman styles and Militello majolica inlays. The Superior and Deluxe Rooms offer cozy comforts, while the Premium Rooms and Suites add a touch of luxury with spaciousness and balconies that overlook the city's historic center. 

Palace Catania by UNA Esperienze also offers a range of amenities. You can start your day with an exclusive buffet breakfast featuring typical Sicilian delicacies on the panoramic terrace overlooking the city. For more dining needs, the hotel also offers two restaurants serving Sicilian cuisine, where you can savor the freshest fish and an extensive selection of wines. The Etnea Roof Bar & Restaurant, located on the 7th floor beside the roof garden, offers an idyllic setting for enjoying cocktails, aperitifs, or a meal. To unwind, head to the hotel's Turkish bath or enjoy a workout in the in-house gym.

We had to leave the first room we were assigned because the air conditioning was not working. The tubs were a bit too high to step into.
