If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Palermo
Palermo's boutique hotels offer intimate design, historical character, and personalized service tucked into the city's labyrinthine streets—think sun-drenched terraces in the Kalsa, elegant pied-à-terre near Ballarò market, and hidden courtyards that turn a stay into an immersive local experience. For the best experience, choose small properties that prioritize locally sourced cuisine and concierge-curated activities like guided walks or Sicilian cooking classes, and book early for summer weekends to secure rooms with balconies and quieter inner gardens.
