Excelsior Palace Hotel

Historic 1904 hotel with a big park, dogs on request

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A four-star open since 1904 on a promontory at the entrance to the historic centre, with the largest Mediterranean park in town, a panoramic pool and views to Etna and the Bay of Naxos. Rooms are traditional with sea or park views. It suits dog owners who want green space and a short walk to Corso Umberto. Dogs are accepted on request.

Why it's in the collection

The hotel's large Mediterranean park is the standout for lead walks, unusual for a town hotel, and Corso Umberto and the Villa Comunale gardens are a short stroll. This is a hilltop setting with stairs and steep lanes. The beach is reached by cable car or car.
