Property details

A boutique gem in Palermo’s historic centre, surrounded by the Sicilian capital’s best sights and close to the port - includes breakfast, a welcome drink, and optional wellness experience
  • Historic setting: A modern gem in the heart of Palermo’s historic centre, the boutique Hotel Porta Felice is rather grandly located in a refurbished former palace. The hotel pairs its historic setting with modern design, blending embossed wallpaper with warm sunset-hues and marble, making for a stylish, but welcoming, atmosphere.

  • Breakfast with a view: Enjoy breakfast served straight to your room, before heading up to the panoramic terrace later in the day, where you can enjoy a glass of wine or classic cocktail under the stars. Thanks to the hotel's prime port position, fresh seafood, and other international fare, can be found at nearby restaurants.

  • Soothing spa: The beautifully decorated wellness club has a sauna, Jacuzzi, steam bath, sensory showers and a relaxation area to help you unwind. If you require further de-stressing, indulge in a treatment from the hotel's massage menu (fees apply) or a delicious herbal tea in the Balinese-inspired space.

How to get there

Palermo Airport is just over 30 kilometres away (about a 35-minute drive).

Hotel Porta Felice, Via Butera, 45, 90133 Palermo, Italy

Hotel Porta Felice is in the Sicilian capital, Palermo, a city renowned for its fantastic history and architecture, exciting culture and delicious food. Sitting near the Botanical Garden in the historical centre, the hotel’s surrounding area is packed with historic gems and monuments, including Palazzo Butera, Palazzo Steri, the Genio’s Fountain and Piazza Marina.

Massimo Theatre, famed for its wonderful opera and ballet, is a 20-minute walk away, while the fascinating Stanze al Genio is only 10 minutes away on foot. If you want to learn more about Sicilian folklore, the unusual Museo delle Marionette is a great place to start, just a few metres from the hotel. Sicily is known as much for its excellent ice cream as it is for its cultural attractions, so make the leisurely stroll along Via Roma (or hop in the car) to try the various and mouth-watering wares at Al Gelatone.
