Just loved this hotel right in the centre of town. Old bank converted into something special. Could walk around Palermo day or night and then come back to this wonderful place. Great restaurant, bar, surrounds and staff. Wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. More

We spent a Friday night at this hotel in Palermo, en route to Taormina. Apparently some kind of a savings bank converted into a hotel, it is located on a square in a very crummy central area of the town, not far from the Cathedral, but surrounded by alleys and narrow streets with many faintly menacing characters hanging around. We... More

A beautiful grand hotel (once a bank), in lovely part of the old city. We had a very lovely room with both a large (not all rooms do) and a tiny balcony. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good buffet breakfast in beautiful rooms. Free wifi but no coffee making facilities in room. Highly recommend this beautiful hotel to anyone traveling... More

We spend some time at this hotel in April.During our stay there only a small number of guests in the hotel. Our room was of a good size, especially the bathroom, and very clean. There was an opening window for fresh air.The bathroom had double wash basins and also a heated towel rack which was great for drying small items... More

In a city that surely can be seen as a place equally beautiful as it is, potentially, disgusting at the same time, this hotel stands out as a quiet respite in a tucked away little square only a few steps from the main drag. The location is quite good for this hotel (if you're planning to tour the city), the... More

Was positively impressed about tis hotel and it's rooms. You would not expect it when you see the buildings around. But you are in the centre of Palermo and the position is ideal. Will go back. Only internet is a bit a mess. You need a cable and in some rooms the plug is hidden behind a huge furniture impossible... More

Great service and attention. A former bank and stock exchange remodeled into a luxury hotel. Right in the middle of the heart of Palermo. General Manager hosted a welcome reception for our group with champagne and appetizers prior to dinner in the hotel. Spa was partially under construction, but fitness centre was available for use.

The Piazza Borza has been converted from a bank. The rooms surround a court yard that has a retractable roof. The rooms are elegant and spacious. The breakfeast area is in a spectacular room and the food was equal to the room. The hotel is in a very old section and within walking distance of most Palermo sites. Although the... More
