Insight Guides "This appealing, well-renovated, well-run Art Nouveau hotel overlooks Porto Grande and the projected new yacht marina."
Star Service "Built in the early 1800s in liberty style, the Grand Hotel Ortigia, located on the island of Ortigia, overlooks the picturesque and historic Syracuse harbor." Full review
Fodor's "An elegant, fantasy-inspired design prevails at this venerable institution, which has enjoyed a prime position on the Porto Grande at the base of Ortygia since 1890." Full review
Lonely Planet "Big and brash, the Grand Hotel is Ortygia's top-class hotel with all the requisite amenities and none of the character of some of the smaller hotels."
Frommer's "Originally built in 1905, this is the best located hotel in Syracuse, with a very appealing mix of modernity and old-world charm" Full review

Frommer's "This small-scale hotel originated in 1995 when a Catholic elementary school was transformed into a decent, well-managed lodging." Full review
Michelin Guide "The rooms are furnished with elegance and the terrace has nice ocean views. Run by Ursulioe nuns."
DK Eyewitness "The hotel has a small library, where guests can dine during part of the year (the dining room is not open to outsiders). It all adds up to a pleasant and tranquil stay."
Fodor's "On Ortygia's eastern shore, this hotel, in an unusual twist, is owned by Ursuline nuns, who help to make the mood placid and peaceful—but the elegant accommodations are far from monastic." Full review
