Be charmed by the sights and sounds of Catania

Catania is a quaint coastal Italian city with an abundance of cultural sights and charismatic locals ready to show you why Italy is a great place to visit and live. This local charm extends to the hotels dotted throughout the city centre and along the coastline.

Inviting lighting and exteriors draw you into elegant rooms at the Liberty Hotel, which has a serene garden patio, breakfast room and reading room. The UNA Palace Hotel houses you in a historic building from the 1900s and is blessed with added luxuries such as a Turkish bath and a rooftop garden. 

Discover Italy's coastal life

Sitting on Sicily's east coast, Catania is bordered by ocean on one side and the towering Mount Etna volcano on the other. The former offers a range of beachfront accommodation, letting you pick from luxurious establishments with sundrenched pools and rooms with ocean views.

Source yourself some 5-star service at the Romano Palace Luxury Hotel where you can wander through private gardens, before heading down to the beach for a swim. Other hotels along the shore, including the NH Parco degli Aragonesi, Hotel Nettuno and the Aga Hotel, offer a natural balance between the bustling city and tranquil beach.

Immerse yourself in Catania's culture

Live amongst the locals in Catania's bustling city centre, where modern entertainment is coupled with historic buildings such as Teatro Massimo Bellini and Catania Cathedral. For a spot of nature within the city centre, you can stay at the City Hotel, which is positioned next to the public park, Giardino Bellini. 

Alternatively, you can stay at the Hotel Etnea 316, which prides itself on introducing guests to true Sicilian traditions, some of which you can experience by attending the 3-day St Agata Festival. Also, keep an eye out for the Katane Palace Hotel with intimate and quiet rooms, and a charming onsite bar and outdoor patio.
