Lonely Planet "This 18th-century palazzo is one of Palermo’s most elegant hotels with a superb location in the heart of the historic centre."
DK Eyewitness "On one of Palermo’s lively main streets, this converted 18th-century noble palace is on all major transport routes, and a short walking distance to shops, museums, food markets and the Teatro Biondo."
Fodor's "A stone's throw from Palermo's main historic sites, the Centrale Palace is the only hotel in the heart of the centro storico that was once a stately private palace." Full review
Frommer's "The good-size guest rooms are comfortably functional, with luxe touches like rich fabrics and mosaic-tiled bathrooms...a rooftop terrace with an airy dining room is a retreat from the city below" Full review

Frommer's "Located in the suburb of Acquasanta... this is still arguably the best place to stay in town." Full review
Insight Guides "Set out of town, in Acquasanta, on cliffs above the bay, this is Palermo’s prestigious landmark hotel."
DK Eyewitness "Set above the west end of Palermo’s harbour, the city’s most romantic and deluxe hotel is a favourite of the international and political elite."
Rough Guide "This classic Art Nouveau building of 1900, originally a villa of the Florio family (the people who pioneered tuna canning), stands outside the city centre above the marina of Acquasanta."
Star Service "On a scenic point beside a peaceful cove, just north of the more commercial Grand Hotel et des Palmes, 2 kilometers north of the ferry terminal, this ornate traditional tease is a solid offering." Full review
Michelin Guide 0 Stars
