Overview

Situated on one of the most admired streets in Palermo’s historical and commercial town centre, this stylish hotel exudes regional charm and touches of international modernity. It overlooks Ruggero Settimo Square and offers free Wi-Fi. Hotel Politeama is also located near the seaport and the bus station that links the city to the airport and the beach of Mondello. Built in 1977, and set behind an angular concrete façade, the hotel rises 9 stories above a point adjacent to one of Palermo's most architecturally distinctive theatres, the Politeama, in the heart of the stylish and well-heeled Via Liberta district. A continental buffet breakfast is served daily. Inside, guests can expect contemporary décor of polished granite, varnished hardwood, leather upholsteries, and Italian Moderno styling. The most interesting guest rooms overlook the heroic bronze chariots on the nearby theatre and the square that contains it.

Comfortable hotel in an excellent location

Very well located hotel, just a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of the city - and convenient for transport. The rooms overlooking the theatre had a wonderful view. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Excellent breakfast which was very well managed by staff. Staff on reception were courteous and helpful and the lifts (elevators) worked well and were speedy!

Excellent location and stay for visiting in And around Palermo

The hotel is very centrally located. It was about a 40 minute walk to the train station or bus station although two services 101 and the 102 run directly from outside the hotel to the station making all journeys around Palermo etc very accessible. We had an issue with our booking as we had wanted twin beds and the room we were taken to had a double and was small. However, the staff very quickly upgraded us and we were put into a twin bedroom that overlook the square. Throughout our stay, the staff were very attentive and friendly and couldn’t be faulted. Breakfast selection was varied and substantial. It is essential to make sure that you go up to the roof Terrace, the views are amazing and it’s definitely a place to have a drink even if you don’t eat there.

I wanna go back to Politeama!!! Such a beautiful place, great staff, delicious breakfast and food on the roof terrace, and very beautiful and well-kept rooms. On top, it is perfectly situated in the city so you can walk almost everywhere. The minibus shuttle takes you directly to Piazza Politeama from the airport.

Great city centre hotel.

Location was excellent, right in the heart of the historic centre, and with a rooftop bar to die for! The breakfast is first class.
