The Excelsior Grand Hotel is a modern and efficient hotel located in the centre of the lively city of Catania, a stone’s throw from the natural scenery of Etna. The hotel, which has always played an important role in the city’s events, has reopened in 2001; its new furnishings enhanced by rich decorations, stuccoes and marbles, an emotive setting for the hotel’s traditional charm and attention to detail. The vivid Sicilian colours lend warmth to the sober, elegant atmosphere, striking a pleasing balance between the classical and the contemporary. So the Excelsior Grand Hotel is the ideal destination for both the business traveller, arriving for meeting or conferences, and tourists who demand the highest levels of sophisticated comfort
