The hotel features a cosy shared space with a warm, homely atmosphere. It’s also the setting for guided tastings and experiences that introduce you in a relaxed way to Sicily’s culinary and wine traditions.
Palazzo Planeta features nine apartments and four suites, each with its own distinctive colour accents and personalised details. The interiors blend art-nouveau charm with contemporary lines and materials. The suites nod to the seasonal allegories of Palermo’s Piazza dei Quattro Canti, while the apartments offer extra space for longer stays or travellers who enjoy a bit more independence.
Every suite has its own character, but travellers who appreciate generous space will feel perfectly at home in one of the larger apartments. Prefer something compact and stylish? Then the suites are the best match.
Palazzo Planeta doesn’t have a pool or spa, but it’s the ideal place to dive into Sicily’s rich culinary world. The hotel arranges Planeta wine tastings and cooking classes, perfect for anyone eager to discover more about local food and wine traditions.
Children of all ages are welcome.
The hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant, but relies on the neighbouring Ristorante Giada. You start your day there with an Italian breakfast and can return later for lunch or dinner, where you’ll enjoy wonderful pizzas and other favourites from the Sicilian kitchen.
Breakfast is served at Giada, where you start your morning with a truly Italian experience. A fresh cornetto, coffee and fruit juice are included in your reservation; anyone who wants something extra can simply order it on the spot.
The hotel is located in a quiet street within lively Palermo. After a short walk of about 500 metres, you reach the junction of Via Cavour and Via Maqueda, where the pedestrian shopping street begins and the Teatro Massimo takes centre stage. The Opera dei Pupi is just an eight-minute walk away, and the Cathedral of Palermo is around twenty minutes on foot.
Palermo Airport is located approximately 30 kilometres away.
Transfers can be arranged on request, a one-way ride costs €50.
Palazzo Planeta does not have its own private parking, but a monitored parking facility is available close to the hotel.
The location of Palazzo Planeta makes it a wonderful choice for travellers who enjoy exploring Palermo on foot, with the city’s main sights just a short walk away. Inside, you’re surrounded by space and tranquillity, in tastefully designed rooms and apartments that instantly help you unwind after a day in the city. That balance between lively Palermo outside and the soothing calm inside makes this hotel an excellent base for anyone who wants to see a lot yet still return to a place that genuinely feels like home.
