Location
Set in the elegant heart of Palermo, the Grand Hotel Wagner enjoys a privileged position between the famed Teatro Massimo and Teatro Politeama. Just steps from the pedestrianised Via Principe di Belmonte—lined with cafés, boutiques and restaurants—the hotel offers an ideal base for exploring the city’s major cultural sights while remaining tucked away from the bustle. The property sits within a beautifully restored early‑20th‑century building, reflecting the aristocratic charm that inspired composer Richard Wagner during his stay in Palermo.
Accommodation
The hotel’s rooms and suites are styled with classic Art Nouveau elegance, transporting guests into an atmosphere of refined grandeur. Each room features rich fabrics, antique‑inspired furnishings, original artworks and modern comforts including air‑conditioning, flat‑screen TVs and soundproofing. Suites offer larger layouts, some with balconies, separate living areas and marble bathrooms with hydromassage options. Across all categories, the emphasis is on quiet luxury, creating restful spaces with an old‑world Sicilian soul.
Dining
Mornings at Grand Hotel Wagner begin with a generous breakfast featuring premium Sicilian products—fresh pastries, regional delicacies and hot dishes—served in an elegant setting or privately in your room. The hotel’s American Bar evokes a Great Gatsby glamour, offering expertly crafted cocktails, fine spirits and aperitifs in a warmly lit, intimate atmosphere. Guests can unwind with live music on select evenings, making it a favourite spot to relax after a day exploring Palermo.
