Hotels in Palermo
There are a plethora of accommodations to choose from in Sicily's capital, from no-frills B&Bs to five-star luxury hotels, and everything else in between. In keeping with the rest of European standards, many lodgings are entirely smoke-free and are equipped to cater to the needs of families and those with limited mobility. The high season, just like in the rest of Sicily, is June to September and the Christmas holidays, while the shoulder period is from Easter to May. Note: Check in at many hotels begins at 2:00pm.
