Housed in an original Art Deco palace that was originally the headquarters of the Singer sewing machine company, Singer Palace Hotel is a masterpiece of sympathetic restoration. From the preserved marble staircase to the elegant interiors, it retains the heritage charm of its early days, but has been carefully updated for today’s traveller. The 30 stylish rooms and suites are adorned in neutral tones, luxuriant fabrics and art deco styling to create a calming haven at the heart of the city while comfortable beds, Ortigia toiletries and well-stocked minibars add to the sense of indulgent escapism.
Located steps from Via del Corso and Piazza Venezia, the hotel is just a short walk to the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Venezia and Spanish Steps as well as the boutiques of Via del Corso. The rooftop terrace boasts a two-level restaurant and bar with a wrap-around terrace and provides panoramic views of the city skyline for a memorable dining experience. For an immersive Roman experience, little beats sipping a 1920’s inspired cocktail with views of the Eternal City.
This meticulously restored palazzo nestles on the picturesque coast of Palermo and has been transformed into a sanctuary of opulence and elegance by Rocco Forte and Olga Polizzi.
