inside, the look isn’t ornate or overly decorative, it’s spare and minimalist, with a cool color palette and geometric design details.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The raucous morning fish market at A Piscaria sits right outside, and Piazza del Duomo is just around the corner.
The rooms
Rooms take inspiration from classic Sicilian films, setting movie quotes and graphic pop art against crisp, minimalist white walls.
The sauna and hammam
A circular whirlpool tub sits beneath blue lighting, just steps from a wooden Finnish sauna.
The spa
Coconut oil massages and body rituals take cues from Sicilian cinema classics in the single treatment room.
Restaurant
Giardino d'Inverno
Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto the terrace, where breakfast includes Sicilian cannoli and fresh brioches col tuppo.
How it began
Built in the aftermath of the 1693 earthquake, the structure stood for centuries before its 2016 transformation into a film-themed hotel.
