Grand Hotel Piazza Borsa

Grandly situated in Palermo's former stock exchange, this four-star show-off encompasses three separate buildings housing 127 rooms. The hotel's elegant central atrium makes a grand impression, though the rooms themselves are somewhat uninspiring. The nicest of the lot are the high-ceilinged suites with spa baths and windows facing Piazza San Francesco. Facilities include a spa, fitness centre and parking (€18 per night).
