Grand Hotel et des Palmes

About Grand Hotel et des Palmes

The Grand Hotel et des Palmes Palermo has welcomed Wagner, Francesco Crispi and numerous other renown personalities.

Its recently refurbished rooms combine historic appeal with the best modern amenities. The Patrizia house had two floor levels, a winter garden (the present hall) and an exotic garden that extends to the sea. The union between the widow Ingham and Giacomo Medici changed the destiny of the 'house', that given to a local workman trasformed it into the Grand Hotel et des Palmes, known by all those living at Palermo as 'Le Palmes'.

Ernesto Basile, one of the major teachers of the liberty style in 1907 transformed the Hotel. A wooden ceiling was created in the hall, inlaid in the present Caminetto room; simular to the present ceiling in one of the rooms of the Palazzo Montecitorio.
