Hotel Plaza Opera Palermo
The four-star Hotel Plaza Opera is immersed in the bustling commercial district of Palermo , just a stone ’ s throw from the port and waterside . One of the hotel ’ s key features is its design focus , where contemporary style is combined with real Sicilian culture . As you enter the lobby , you will be struck by the impressive antique paintings , the Biedermeier furnishings , and the sleek modern fabrics that inject just the right amount of colour . Unique details are paired with artistic and dramatic lighting . Curved panelled ceilings , rich red feature walls , and smooth marble floors create a real sense of character . On the top floor of the hotel , a terrace lined with flourishing plants and shrubs looks out across the rooftops below towards the mountains beyond . Chairs , tables , and sun loungers provide relaxing places to sit back and enjoy cocktails , light snacks , and breakfasts . Each of the guestrooms has its own distinct style , from cool silvers , browns , and greens in the Standard rooms , to warm reds and navy blues in the Superior rooms . On the walls , figurative paintings form a unifying theme . Large statement headboards blend the contemporary with a grand traditional style , and rich textured curtains add a touch of homeliness . In the mornings , sample the best of Sicilian and international breakfast foods , all created using fresh , local ingredients . For the rest of the day , this room becomes a relaxed , modern Lounge Bar . Spend an hour or two here after a day spent exploring the cultural sights , walking down by the waterfront , or venturing out into the mountains by car .

The streets , though tinged with history , are home to designer shops and eclectic modern buildings , and are just minutes away from Palermo ’ s picturesque marina . From the outside , the hotel has a very sleek , contemporary appearance ; however , when you walk in through the lobby , you will be struck by the characterful arches , the antique Sicilian furniture , and the distinctive colourful artwork on the walls . A homely and traditional fireplace sits as the centrepiece of the main lounge , crested with a coat of arms . In the lounge bar , teas and coffees can be enjoyed in a stylish , cosy atmosphere , and in the library , you can select a book from one of the many shelves and relax into a comfortable and quirky sofa . In the mornings , breakfast is served in the bright , airy breakfast room , which is more overtly modern than the other ground floor rooms . Guestrooms take on a neutral palette of silver , or brown , and white , brightened by rich hues of blue or purple . Textured figurative paintings are hung above the beds . Bathrooms are spacious and sleek , with marble-style floor-to-ceiling tiles and dark counter tops . The effortless blend of the modern with the traditional works particularly well in the Hotel Principe di Villafranca , emphasising its suitability for a stay of a few nights to week as you explore Sicily ’ s largest city , perhaps as part of a longer touring holiday around Sicily and Italy .
