Hotel Grande Albergo Sole
[Permanently Closed]

A solid, mid-range choice in the very geographic center of Palermo, Sicily

It's the closest hotel to Palermo's epicenter, mere steps east of the Quattro Canti—and quite a sight cheaper than its fancier neighbor the Centrale Palace (though, ironically, both are now owned by the same Sicilian chain).

It is angular and modern inside, but while the hotel is unexceptional in appearance, the staff is friendly and courteous, prices and location a dream, and it's so gosh-darn huge—113 rooms—they often have plenty of room available.

Accommodations are fairly large, furnished with built-in units (a few rooms mix in antique pieces, or rattan chairs to soften the look) and comfy armchairs to watch TV in.

While rooms right on the Corso are noticeably noisier, some enjoy a peek-a-boo view of the Fontana Pretoria across the street.

Don't miss the roof terrace—360° of downtown Palermo rooftops, domes, the fountain and Quattro Canti below, and the mountains the ring the city beyond.
