The Grand Hotel is just a few metres from the sea in a setting of spectacular natural beauty. This area, steeped in history, has witnessed a glorious past and is particularly fortunate in its location on the island of Ortigia in the midst of exceptional historical finds.

The renovation of this first-class hotel has returned it to its golden age which dates back to the first 15 years of the XIX century when ….."The Grand Hotel hosted balls where orchestras played and guests listened to music from the very first phonographs ... In the liberty setting of the flower and crystal room, the bourgeoisie and local aristocrats together with passing tourists could witness the first cinema showings and elegant ladies enjoyed fashion shows organised by the best national and international tailors."
