Hilton opens third Sicilian hotel
Hilton Hotels Corporation has opened a new hotel in Sicily.
The Excelsior Hilton Palermo, which is operated by Acqua Marcia Turismo Spa under a franchise agreement with Hilton, marks the company’s third property on the island.
Simon Vincent, president of Hilton Hotels Europe, said: “As our 15th Italian property, this property marks the latest milestone in our strategy to grow the Hilton Family of Hotels in the country. We are delighted to be opening such a historic hotel right in the heart of Palermo.”
The hotel was restored from a 19th century palazzo (“palace” in English) and was formerly known as the Excelsior Palace Hotel. The 199-bedroom property boasts a Precor-equipped fitness suite, two meeting rooms and a gourmet restaurant named Exe.
The company is to open a fourth hotel in Sicily – Des Palmes Hilton Palermo – by the end of the year.
