Grand Hotel Des Étrangers

Ortigia seafront five-star listed pet friendly by Leading Hotels

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 five-star on the western seafront of Ortigia, beside the Fonte Aretusa, with a rooftop restaurant looking over the Porto Grande and a spa. It's the classic Ortigia grand hotel and a Leading Hotels of the World member. It suits a car-free stay where the dog walks the island's seafront every evening.

Why it's in the collection

The Passeggio Adorno and the Lungomare Alfeo run along the seafront from the door, round to Castello Maniace at the southern tip of Ortigia, a flat walk of about 15 minutes.
