Boutique hotel in a historic palace showcasing Sicilian folklore

Location

Palazzo Asmundo di Gisira stands on the southeast corner of Piazza Mazzini, just a few steps from the Duomo of Catania. The hotel is set within an 18th-century palace that offers direct access to the bustling local market of Pescheria. Guests can explore Catania's vibrant culture and history with various attractions within walking distance.

Rooftop

The Rooftop Gisira is designed amidst the historic Sicilian tiles, featuring covered spaces with professional kitchen facilities. This area includes a lush roof garden and a relaxing solarium, providing a retreat from the city sounds. Guests can enjoy views of Mount Etna and the domes of Catania from this elevated oasis.

Art

The hotel showcases a permanent exhibition displaying contemporary works of art, blending history with modern creativity. The collection includes pieces from artists who engage with European cultural themes. This artistic synthesis creates a unique environment that enriches the guest experience.

Meeting Hall

On the first floor, the Meeting Hall presents an artistic dialogue between the architectural details of the palace and the baroque heritage of Catania. A striking 4-meter pink flamingo artwork welcomes guests, setting the tone for a distinctively cultural encounter. This space embodies the essence of Catania's artistic history.

Design

Each room at Asmundo di Gisira is inspired by local legends, creating a narrative through design. Unique elements, like a bed integrated into a tableau inspired by the eye of Polyphemus, enhance the storytelling experience. This thoughtful design invites guests to immerse themselves in Sicilian folk tales.
