“Located centrally on Via Etnea, the building, dating from 1903, features distinctive Liberty-style architecture that makes it stand out. The hotel includes a rooftop terrace with great views and a complimentary international breakfast is served in the outdoor patio. However, parking is off-site only and the immediate area is noisy.”
