Excelsior Grand Hotel Review

This large, modern hotel sits in a quiet part of downtown Catania. Ask for a room facing Piazza Verga, a neat tree-lined square. The atmosphere is restrained, with a spacious, marbled lobby. Impeccably designed rooms have a careful balance of neoclassical and new furnishings, and double-pane windows add to the peace. The service can be erratic, as the hotel tends to fill up with groups. The American Bar should provide solace if you're craving a Manhattan.
