Luxurious hotels in Palermo: Grand Hotel Wagner

posted: Friday 30 October 2009 by Giorgio in: Abruzzo Sicily Travel in Italy

Recently restored, the Grand Hotel Wagner was built in heart of the city of Palermo at the turn of last century. It’s one of the most luxurious hotels ever established in Sicily. Located only a few steps away from the famous Teatro Massimo and just a stone‘s throw away from Palermo‘s fashion district, the hotel was named after the great German composer Richard Wagner who loved to sojourn here with his family whenever he had to be in Palermo to oversee productions of his operas. The place has all the charm of a fin de siecle hotel with its huge marble staircase, beautiful hall and elegantly furnished rooms which have an atmosphere from the old good days which will warm the cockles of your heart.
