Hilton Villa Igiea Palermo

The building, with its characteristic castle shape, derives its name from the Greek nymph of health, Igiea. It was commissioned by the famous Florio family at the end of the 19th century, at the height of the Belle Époque period.

Originally established as an exclusive health centre in an area known for its beneficial properties, it was soon transformed into an elegant hotel. As such, it was immediately favoured by high society because of its sumptuous ambience and distinguished hospitality, along with the balmy Sicilian climate it enjoys.

The bedrooms are decorated in the Art Nouveau style with decorations, terraces and balconies overlooking the sea and the garden with its centuries-old plants. Members of the most important families in Europe, including royalty, have stayed in them.

The luxurious bedrooms and suites of Villa Igiea Hilton Palermo, recently renovated and provided with large comfortable bathrooms, are set on 4 floors.
The beauty of their period furniture combines perfectly with the most modern comforts, making them ideal for leisure and business stays.
