8.2/10 on 445 reviews
One of the most prestigious and oldest hotels in Taormina, built in 1904, the Excelsior Palace is situated on the wonderful promontory of this ‘Ionian Pearl’, surrounded by Greek-Roman walls. The imposing hotel is immersed in an atmosphere saturated with history, demonstrated by its merlons and turrets and the magnificent Sicilian park reaching down to the sea, constituting an incomparable natural theatre stage in front of Mount Etna.
It is a fairy-tale scenario which guests can enjoy from the hotel’s balconies and which transports them into the past, allowing them to soak in the sensations felt by visitors from the past, poets and artists nostalgic of the nature and paradise of this fantastic land, where the combination of climate and natural resources assume magic characteristics.
Rich in its centuries-old history, yet modern at the same time, the Excelsior Palace boasts illustrious guests in all periods and a series of important events within its walls. Today, the hotel gives a warm welcome, typical of old Taormina tradition, to refined and elegant surroundings, maximum comfort and a large luxuriant garden with spectacular panoramic glimpses of Cape Taormina to the beautiful bay of Naxos, from the Etna volcano to the infinite space of the Ionian Sea.
