Lonely Planet
"This 18th-century palazzo is one of Palermo’s most elegant hotels with a superb location in the heart of the historic centre."
DK Eyewitness
"On one of Palermo’s lively main streets, this converted 18th-century noble palace is on all major transport routes, and a short walking distance to shops, museums, food markets and the Teatro Biondo."
Fodor's
"A stone's throw from Palermo's main historic sites, the Centrale Palace is the only hotel in the heart of the centro storico that was once a stately private palace."

"The good-size guest rooms are comfortably functional, with luxe touches like rich fabrics and mosaic-tiled bathrooms...a rooftop terrace with an airy dining room is a retreat from the city below"
