At 240 hectares, Palermo is one of the largest cities in Italy and has been the administrative centre of Sicily for various periods throughout history. It has currently been the capital since Italy’s reunification in 1860. Thanks to its eventful history, the city of Palermo has a strange and unique personality, with essences of Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman and Spanish that combine to form one distinctive identity – Sicilian.

Located right by the Giardino Inglese (the ‘English Garden’), one of the most well known landmarks in the city, the Palermo Hotel Excelsior Palace is easy to locate.
