NH Collection Hotels & Resorts Lands in the Sicilian Capital

Posted in News on 12 August, 2025
The Opening of NH Collection Palermo Palazzo Sitano new boutique hotel marks the brand’s second opening in Italy in 2025.
NH Collection Hotels and Resorts has landed in the Sicilian capital with the opening of NH Collection Palermo Palazzo Sitano, located on the central Via Vittorio Emanuele in the beating heart of Palermo. Tucked away in a Baroque atmosphere near historic markets with authentic flavours and a few steps away from Palermo’s theatres and architectural jewels, this new boutique hotel marks the brand’s second hotel opening in Italy in 2025, following the recent inauguration of the NH Collection Alagna Mirtillo Rosso, which caters to the mountain and family hotel segment, nestled in the heart of the Pennine Alps.
Located on the Via Vittorio Emanuele, a historic artery running across Palermo, NH Collection Palermo Palazzo Sitano is housed in an aristocratic building, surrounded by old palaces and churches.
Originally built between 1712 and 1860, the Palazzo Sitano is a refined example of Baroque architecture. It was originally made up of three different aristocratic residences now transformed into a hotel that blends its historic charm with contemporary comfort. The building, on the same block as the San Francesco Church and former Convent, conserves its original features, including the main door, original period windows in the restaurant and breakfast area, Baroque decorations, painted ceilings, classic cast-iron balconies and arches in the common rooms.
The rooms
The hotel has 86 rooms of different types – Superior, Premium, Premium XL, Junior Suite and Suite – designed to meet guests’ every need, providing versatile solutions that combine comfort and style. Each room is designed to guarantee a relaxing stay.
Many of the rooms conserve their original cast-iron balconies, which provide charming views of the old town, and some of the Junior Suites have ceilings with frescos painted in blue and green, restored to highlight the palazzo’s artistic heritage.
Restaurant and bar area
Located within an enchanting patio, the restaurant is harmoniously integrated into a modern glass structure. With its arches, majestic columns and large windows, inspired by the nearby San Francisco Convent, the restaurant ushers its diners into a bright and timeless atmosphere that combines charm, contemporary comfort and deep ties with the local cultural and culinary heritage.
Each space inside the NH Collection Palermo Palazzo Sitano has been thoughtfully created to provide guests with wellness and care during their stays, whether for business or travel. Its amenities include a ground-floor sauna and steam bath, ideal for relaxing and getting some energy back after an intense day exploring the city. For those who like to stay fit while away from home, the hotel has a fitness club with modern treadmills and elliptical and stationary bikes for a complete and functional workout.
