ising above Taormina on a dramatic rocky
promontory, the Hotel Excelsior Palace is a
historic four star landmark that embodies the
elegance of early twentieth century Sicily.
Opened in 1904, the hotel is distinguished by
its Moorish inspired architecture and its
setting beside ancient Greco Roman walls.
It is surrounded by the largest private park in
Taormina’s city centre, where terraced gardens,
winding paths, and Mediterranean flora
create a peaceful retreat, moments from
Corso Umberto. From its terraces, rooms, and
public spaces, the hotel commands sweeping
views of Mount Etna, the Ionian Sea, and the
Bay of Naxos. At sunset, the landscape
becomes the hotel’s defining spectacle, as
warm light washes over sea and sky.
The panoramic swimming pool, poised above
the coastline, offers an especially striking
vantage point during the golden hour.
