Grand Hotel Liberty

This is the most elegant, appealing hotel in Messina. In fact, it's one of the finest hotels in Sicily. It originated as a battered rooming house, but the Framon chain transformed it from a sow's ear into one of the most beautiful hotels on the island. Throughout, you'll find rich paneling, marble-inlaid floors, ornate plasterwork, and lavish stained-glass windows. Guest rooms are as plush as anything you'll find in Sicily, with marble-trimmed bathrooms, fine hardwoods, high ceilings, and color schemes of champagne and gold. Thanks to this and to the welcome that's extended with genuine concern to single women traveling alone, the hotel enjoys one of the highest occupancy rates in town.
