An elegant and refined 5-star hotel
Palazzo Sangiorgio
A comfortable and refined starting point to discover the city of Catania
The 5-star hotel Palazzo Sangiorgio stands in the centre of Catania, the ancient Civita, like an ancient jewel in an open-air treasure chest full of precious gems, where different cultures have met and mingled over its millennia-long history, leaving their mark on the rich artistic and architectural heritage that the city preserves.
The perimeter of Catania’s historic centre, where Palazzo Sangiorgio is located, is a succession of churches with richly decorated facades, splendid noble buildings, theatres, squares, and finely adorned fountains. Following the reconstruction after the devastating 1693 earthquake, this area has given the city a rich Baroque look, earning it a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2022, following its earlier accolade as Best Liberty City in 2016 for its equally lavish Art Nouveau heritage.

A central location to explore the city of Catania
Palazzo Sangiorgio, with its elegant panoramic rooftop, offers an exclusive view of some of these splendid historical fragments, such as the prestigious Palazzo Biscari and Palazzo Platamone (now Palazzo della Cultura). The hotel is situated in a key location, allowing for a short walk to Piazza del Duomo, the Cattedrale di Sant’Agata, and Castello Ursino.
Catania City Centre
Catania is also a resilient city, as it has demonstrated over the millennia, reinventing itself while retaining all its charm. It continues to do so, changing from day to night to become one of the main centres of Sicilian nightlife.
In the evening, Catania’s historic centre becomes a succession of wine bars, pubs, lounge bars, and traditional taverns within the so-called “Quadrato d’oro” between Piazza del Duomo, Piazza dell’Università, and Piazza Teatro Massimo, all easily reachable from Palazzo Sangiorgio in a few minutes’ walk. Here, you can immerse yourself in an authentic nightlife experience and discover the city under a new and enchanting light.
